The CSD or IDG speed governor setting
- is not allowed to be adjusted.
- is adjusted with the engine stationary.
- is adjusted with the engine running.
Explanation from PART66Online
A constant speed drive (CSD) or integrated drive generator (IDG) holds the generator at constant rpm so it produces a fixed 400 Hz. The speed governor controls output frequency, so its setting is trimmed with the engine running, observing the live frequency, until the correct value is achieved. A static check cannot show the speed actually delivered to the generator.
