I assume you are talking about A320 series.

I think you may be looking at an out of date edition of the QRH. Revision 42 has removed the AC Bus shedding on pages 1.09 and 1.09A. On page 1.09 You are now invited to consider putting the aircraft directly into ELEC EMER CONFIG.

The reason for this is as follows:

Airbus has discovered that, if the batteries are being charged when you switch off the generators in your attempts to isolate a possible electrical smoke source, DC1 and DC2 may be lost permanently.

Page 1.09A no longer exists.

The last actions are now:

ELEC EMER CONFIG

APPLY ECAM PROCEDURE, BUT DO NOT RESET GEN, EVEN IF REQUESTED BY ECAM

and then:
  • JUST BEFORE L/G EXTENSION

GEN 2..........................ON
EMER ELEC GEN 1 LINE....ON
