HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM INTRODUCTION (1)

Architecture
In normal operation the two hydraulic circuits, green and yellow, are
pressurized at 5000 PSI by engine pumps. These two hydraulic circuits
supply the flight controls and landing gear system.
As a backup local electro-hydraulic power generation is powered by
electrical sources. They supply power for:
- the flight controls through the Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators (EHA)
and Electrical Backup Hydraulic Actuators (EBHA),
- the braking and Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) system through Local
Electro-hydraulic Generation Systems (LEHGS).
Electric pumps supply auxiliary hydraulic power generation for
maintenance operation and cargo door operation.

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

General
The A380 hydraulic power is generated by two fully independent
hydraulic circuits, green and yellow, which are normally pressurized at
5000 PSI. The two circuits operate simultaneously, with no fluid transfer
between them.
As a backup local electro-hydraulic generation is powered by electrical
sources.

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

Hydraulic power system architecture
The hydraulic power system comprises:
- main hydraulic power generation,
- backup hydraulic power generation supplied by electrical power,
- auxiliary hydraulic power generation.
Main Hydraulic Power Generation
The green and yellow hydraulic circuits are fully independent. The
hydraulic circuits are pressurized at 5000 PSI in normal operation by
four Engine Driven Pumps (EDPs) in each circuit.
Each circuit has a single hydraulic reservoir (RSVR).
There are two EDPs per engine, each engine has one Fire Shut Off
Valve (FSOV) to supply hydraulic fluid to both EDPs on that engine.
The green and yellow circuits generate hydraulic power to operate:
- the primary Flight Controls (F/CTL),
- the secondary flight controls,
- the landing gear,
- the braking and steering system.

Hydraulic power system architecture (continued)
Backup Hydraulic Power Generation
As a back-up to the normal hydraulic circuits, hydraulic pressure can
be locally produced for the flight controls and landing gear using local
electro-hydraulic power generators.
The local electro-hydraulic generation system comprises:
- EHA (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator) and EBHA (Electrical Backup
Hydraulic Actuator) to operate primary flight controls,
- LEHGS (Local Electro-Hydraulic Generation System) to operate
braking and steering systems.

Hydraulic power system architecture (continued)
Auxiliary Hydraulic Power Generation
On the ground, with all engines shut down, each hydraulic circuit can
be pressurized by two Electric Motor Pumps (EMPs).
For the cargo doors operation, one of the EMPs in the green system
operates to generate hydraulic power. An isolation valve closes to
isolate the main hydraulic users from the cargo doors hydraulic circuit.
A similar isolation valve is fitted to the yellow circuit for the body
gear steering system (not shown) which can be pressurized by the
yellow EMPs.
A manually operated backup auxiliary hydraulic pump can be used
to operate the cargo doors.
Hydraulic pressure can also be supplied to the green and yellow
circuits via ground connections.

Control And Indicating
Each hydraulic circuit reservoir supplies their respective EDPs through
the FSOV that isolates the engine from the hydraulic circuit in case of
fire.The valves are controlled by fire handles located on the cockpit
overhead engine FIRE panel. Each EDP can be controlled ON or OFF
through its respective P/BSW located on the HYDraulic cockpit control
panel. Both EDPs on each engine can be declutched through a P/BSW
located on the cockpit hydraulic control panel. On ground for maintenance
operation, each EMP can be controlled ON or OFF through its respective
P/BSW located on the GrouND HYDraulic maintenance cockpit panel.
Monitoring
Two Hydraulic System Monitoring Units (HSMUs), one for each
hydraulic circuit, control and monitor the green and yellow hydraulic
circuits respectively. They also give indication on the Control and
Display System (CDS).

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE (1)

Hydraulic Power System Safety Items
When you work on the hydraulic power system, make sure that you obey
all the AMM safety precautions. This will prevent injury to persons and/or
damage to the aircraft.
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the hydraulic
power system.
As the green and yellow hydraulic systems are similar, the diagrams refer
to only one hydraulic power system, the yellow system.
Pay attention to the status of the hydraulic power system and its users in
case they are pressurized.
Make sure that all the safety devices and all the warning notices are in
position, before any maintenance operations are performed.
When disconnecting any Hydraulic line and component, all pumps must
be switched off and the hydraulic reservoir must be depressurized to
prevent fluid loss and personal injury.
When opening the manual depressurization valve of the reservoirs protect
your hands and face from the gas, as there could be a risk of:
- Burns from hot pressurized gas,
- Contamination from hydraulic fluid contained in the gas.
Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with hydraulic
fluid, such as rubber gloves and safety goggles. Do not get hydraulic
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM29P2MAINT0001

fluid on your skin, in your eyes or in your mouth. Hydraulic fluid is

poisonous and can go through your skin and into your body.
The Local Electro-Hydraulic Generation System (LEHGS) weighs
approximately 120 pounds. If incorrect procedures are used during
removal or installation, injury to persons, or damage to the LEHGS can
occur.
By consequence, the LEHGS removal/installation tasks require specific
tooling that must be used.

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE (1)

Hydraulic Power System Ground Support Equipment
Some hydraulic power system maintenance tasks require Ground Support
Equipment (GSE).
As an example, during the LEHGS Removal/Installation, a specific GSE
is used to hold this heavy component.
Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) for the tasks.
Also, refer to the illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual (TEM) for the
complete list of the tools.
