Abstract
A system capable of appropriately cooling a generator and a power cable connected to the generator, disposed in a hot section of a turbo-fan engine, regardless of a rating of the engine is provided. The system includes: a junction box; a bypass air duct that supplies, to the junction box, air extracted from a portion of a bypass flow path of the engine on a side further downstream than a fan outlet; a core air duct that supplies, to the junction box, air extracted from a portion of a core flow path of the engine on a side further upstream than a compressor outlet; and a cooling air duct that extends from the junction box to a space for accommodating the generator, and valves capable of being independently controlled to open and close are provided at downstream ends of the bypass air duct and the core air duct.
