A constant-speed drive (CSD), also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input. They are used to drive mechanisms, typically electrical generators, that require a constant input speed. The term is most commonly ap. MechanismCSDs are mainly used on and jet engines to drive the (AC) electrical generator. In order to produce the proper voltage at a constant AC frequency, usually three-phase 115 VAC at 40. On aircraft such as the,,,, ,, ,,, and, an integrated-drive generator (IDG) is used. This unit is. A variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) generator can be used to provide AC power using an electronic. Variable-frequency starter–generators (VFSGs), used primarily on the Boeing 787, are used fo.
