Why does the Numner 1 Gen Switch trip on a 900

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.
