Part: GENERATOR — FAILED (ZONE 100) · airframe 8,457 hrs · 5,530 cycles

DUAL GENERATOR FAILURE AT FL 430. EMERGENCY DECENT, AIRCRAFT WENT INTO ELECTRICAL EMERGENCY. PRESSURIZATION LOSS, O2 MASKS DEPLOYED. AIRCRAFT LANDED AND EMERGENCY BRAKING WAS USED, WHICH RESULTED IN THE TIRES FLAT SPOTTED INTO THE WHEEL. MX DOWNLOADED CMC AND CVDR/FDR INFO FOR EMBRAER. EMBRAER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A CAUSE. EMBREAR RESPONSE "DUAL GENERATOR OFF-BUS IS MOSTLY RELATED TO ONE FAILED GENERATOR AND OPENS THE OPPOSITE SIDE AS A PROTECTION MODE TRIGGERED BY GCUS." PILOT UNABLE TO IDETIFY WHICH STARTED FAILED FIRST. MX INSPECTED BOTH STARTER GENEREATORS AND PREFORMED SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE STARTER GENERATORS AND DC OPERATION. AIRCRAFT IS TO BE FERRIED TO EMBRAER AT MESA AZ FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS.

WE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE COCKPIT EFFECTS INCLUDING LOSS OF BATT 1 VOLTAGE INDICATION, SWPS FAIL, PUSHER TEST FAIL, ENGINE NO DISPATCH, SAT, TAT, ISA, SHOWING RED X’S, ETC. TROUBLESHOOTING THIS ISSUE LED US TO A DAMAGED WIRE BUNDLE FORWARD OF THE PILOTS LEFT RUDDER PEDAL. MULTIPLE DAMAGED WIRES AND WERE THE CAUSE OF THE INDICATION LOSSES. SHORTED WIRING ALSO CAUSED THE STICK PUSHER SOLENOID TO FAIL AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. FURTHER INSPECTION TO DETERMINE HOW THIS BRACKET WAS FOULED, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE DAMPENER FOR OVERSTEERING EXTENDS FAR ENOUGH TO STRIKE AND EVENTUALLY CATCH AND BEND THIS WIRING BRACKET AND CLAMP INBOARD AND FOUL THE WIRE BUNDLE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO EMBRAER AND IS BEING HANDLED UNDER EMBRAER CASE: EEJ-04457794. WE HAVE STARTED INSPECTING OUR OTHER EMBRAER 300 AND HAVE FOUND TWO OTHER AIRCRAFT AFFECTED SN'S 50500368, 50500513.
