AIRBUS A320 Family IDG

[@komalattri6416]

Very knowledgeable video, plz make more videos like this

[@frankyjas5184]

I love my damn job. I am an A/P mechanic. I disassemble inspect and reassemble IDG’s all day long. And I just think it’s so awesome.

[@Sterlingjob]

Always leave overflow container on for at least 20 minutes! The amount of overfilled IDG's I've found recently is ridiculous!

[@rrice1705]

I'm not a A&P tech, but this was a surprisingly interesting video. Well done.

[@straightpipediesel]

Backstory: due to a combination of factors including improper servicing and design issues, these were failing left and right, grounding planes when they couldn't get spares. The list price is something around $450,000 new. This video is Airbus damage control.

Awesome video....really great explanation thank you

[@adamelkoumy5141]

thank you for the video. very educating. please upload more when you have.

[@mikena1673]

alright, this was a highly educational vid.Which makes me wonder, who makes these vids and is there a way to get a complete set (for engineers). your response would be much appreciated.

[@yams900]

Best video ever, very retro !

[@dagoberto23]

Gotta love this vid... that's how u do it... don't forget that 1qrt of extra oil.

Nice

Are all jet engines built the same? GE, Royals Royce, etc....

[@juliusphilipligan5975]

This is A340 not A320...

Hi!! Nice video!! I have a question about it. How do you avoid that the oil doesn't go out from the idg when you are filling it?, i.e, when you are filling the idg, the oil go to the cooler and return to the idg, while your are doing this, does any oil go out from the engine? Sorry I'm Spanish and I cann't explain it better.

[@AdrianBorreg123]

so, the IDG is like a little electrical generator?

[@NaiBVaiZ]

+Pedro Picon Barriel yes one of function is that.

[@mohammedpilot2335]

Thanks

[@germangamerpros]

Thanks!

[@NaiBVaiZ]

Lucas Proffen ? your welcome then

[@hassansaid481]

Anyone have learning videos like this?

[@NaiBVaiZ]

Not any oil going out because all system is locked and safe.

[@airs2k]

The amount of idiots just not servicing IDGs properly is what I found to be ridiculous .

[@andyvan5692]

nice vid, but wish "servicing" didn't mean JUST CHANGING OIL, you should show us how every bolt is removed and replaced (this is what all mechanics call servicing, not what the dealers do- just change oil and give a BIG BILL!!!)

[@andyvan5692]

why don't they just call a spade a spade, it's just an alternator, like the one in your car for goodness sake, why call it an idg? ( or just call it a dynamo).

[@NaiBVaiZ]

andy van ask that question to airbus technical design department. They know best.😎

[@alimohammedhaider6611]

Because it's not "just an alternator". It's a combination of a constant speed drive unit (CSDU) and a generator. The CSDU ensures that the generator component receives the same input via a complex assembly of gears as can be seen, to prevent wild frequencies/irregular voltage output. Either of these can be damaging towards electrical systems in an aircraft.

[@javiandracacampo2640]

not is a320

[@airs2k]

For "engineers"? Kidding me right? You guys design these parts and where they go, but sometimes I wonder why not be an a and p and then an engineer. Most of you have no clue of what these actual LRUs do
