A330 APU (MEL 49-11-01)
May be inoperative provided:
1) No operation or procedure is predicated on APU use, and
2) The MASTER SW pb sw is selected Off.
[Consider 24-22-01 (AC MAIN)],
Airbus's typical way of repeating itself as this is a procedure (Single GEN) predicated on APU use as they have already said in point 1.
and
[Consider 36-11-01 ETOPS (BLEED)]
Again a procedure which is predicated on APU use. (Single BLEED)
You may do one ETOPS flight with one bleed, but still need the APU.
There is NO ETOPS limit for the A330 in the entire chapter of the MEL 49-XX-XX, also the only ETOPS restrictions in the MEL under electrical 24-XX-XX are, Dispatch is not allowed with AC BUS 2 (ALTN function) inoperative and the IDG oil circuit must be checked prior to each flight.
777 (MEL 49-11-1 Auxiliary Power Unit)
APU may be inoperative provided:
a) Other procedures do not require its use,
and
[b) Flight is operated within 180 MIN of a suitable airport.
