When 6PA cover is off, USE PLASTIC TOOLS. Lots of exposed high power 28VDC.
1.How sure are we that we did not put the bad APU GCU in the number 1 position this spring(During APU Uncommanded Shutdown troubleshooting)? How sure are we that we did not put a bad EXCHANGE GCU in the #1 position.
2.Has 8P1 Been swapped? Tap on 8P1 while Generator is running.
3. Backpin GCU pin P. Watch this voltage while the generator is running. Should be ~27 VDC. fluctuating voltage would be a symptom of the failure.
4. A poor connection at Pin F of the GCU could cause the internal voltage regulation to fail. Check Pin Tension. Ring all the way out to Generator B lead
5.Visually inspect CR17, CR23 4.Remove CI1, Remove 6PA panel plug A and megger the leads on CR17, CR23
6.Remove 6PA panel plug A, and megger the Plug a Pin U to ground. Check the harness side going forward to the red switch.
