any particular reason?
What is the advantage to this new system on the A380? Are the constant speed units a common failure item?
What will be the effect of slightly different engine rpms, if the frequency varys with engine speed-will they be feeding separate buses? As I recall the generator frequencies and phases have to match before they can feed the same bus.
Also am I right in thinking the RMS voltage would vary with the frequency as the slope of the sine curve changes? (Or would a standard regulator also compensate?) Or am I completely off?
Possibly all easy problems for an electrical engineer these days, but you dont know until you ask!
Thanks,
