On 767's, there are two UFI (Universal Fault Interrupter) units that protect the center tank pumps and wiring.

We recently had a right pump that was only receiving one (out of three) 115VAC inputs. A control relay upstream of the pump had only one phase also.

Traveling further upstream is the UFI. There were some fault lights on the unit indicating a phase problem.

So, you get a replacement and hang it off the plug (thinking it'll work). No lights..... no nothing?

Hang it off the known good side..... same thing?

The only possible issue would be case grounding, which it turned out to be. Most all aircraft electrical components have a wired ground. Not the UFI's.

Not really a big deal, but it sure makes you think for a second.
  
     
     

I'm not going to be of much help, but have you looked at the aircraft side wiring?

Twisted pair shorts, either to each other, to shield, or to ground.
High resistance on any wires from ECU to APU. Especially look at the speed sensor wiring.

You seemed to have covered all the APU related items quite thoroughly.

Section 49-00-00-810-801 of the manual you sent me shows all the failure codes that can be read.

I also found this in the manual.....
  
     
 

I'm somewhat confused.
You pulled a working APU FADEC (or ECU - Electronic Control Unit) from the aircraft in question and installed it on another aircraft. Now you have issues.
Did you try putting the original ECU back in?

RPM is a fuel control issue. You stated you changed it. RPM's are fluctuating.

I'm I to assume it has a DC generator installed? If it's an AC generator, you can verify RPM's by watching the 400Hz output. If it's climbing and diving along with APU speed..... you still have a fuel control issue.

You swapped the harness, so rules out wiring.

Any other faults showing up on the FADEC?

Currently on OUR Embraer legacy 600 we are facing a serious problem with APU ( APU SHUTDOWN AUTOMATICALLY)

Aircraft is serviceable it's APU FADEC Is removed for another aircraft and when we installed new APU FADEC APU start shutdown automatically after 1 hour of operation
So we check APU FADEC FAULT Message
1. SPEED SENSOR FAULT ( AS per this SPEED SENSOR CHANGED)
2. SYSTEM B/U OVSPD ( BACKUP OVERSPEED) AS per this  FCA Fuel control assembly changed , fuel soleniod valve , APU Engine harness swapped)
But actual there is no OVERSPEED

Now problem becomes worse APU Start shutdown after 3-10 mintues,
Sometime in start cycle , sometimes work for 1 hour

One thing we notice RPM is increasing slowly after reaching 95
It's slow down  its like 96, 97then back to 96 and then increase to 100

Let's look at the pressurization problem....

Manual mode is 28VDC powered and operated completely by the overhead control panel. It uses a DC motor on the outflow valve.
This "is not" a preferred mode of operation as it takes considerable effort to maintain proper pressurization through all phases of flight.

In Auto mode, the system is controlled by the Pressurization Transducer. It is a AC system. Inputs are (either) ADC, Air/Ground, and the Landing/Cabin Alt Selection Panel (on right side panel). The outflow valve motor is AC powered.

What exactly is the crew saying as far as the fault goes?

Has power been checked? Any fault lights on transducer? Has the alternate Air Data been tried? Is the outflow valve reacting when simulating air mode? So many more questions.....
  
     
 

I have saved both PDF's.

Because of copyright infringement, I cannot have complete manufacturer data displayed on the site.

They can be sent to other users upon request.

I will look at both to see if I can be of any help to you.

I don't have any reference material for either issue. Can you send me a schematic or wiring diagram for each system. A training manual would be helpful also.

Example please.
