A SAS Scandinavian Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration LN-RKM performing flight SK-910 (dep Jul 26th) from Newark,NJ (USA) to Copenhagen (Denmark), was enroute at FL400 about 170nm northwest of Edinburg,SC (UK) when the crew declared emergency and diverted to Edinburgh due to the failure of another electrical generator, so that only one (main) generator remained online. The aircraft landed safely on Edinburgh's runway 24 about 35 minutes later.
A passenger reported the crew announced in Newark, that they had problems with the APU. In flight the crew announced that two of the four generators on board had failed prompting the diversion to Edinburgh.
The A330-300 has one engine driven generator (IDG) per engine, the APU, a backup hydraulic emergency generator and the RAM Air Turbine (RAT).
The aircraft remained on the ground in Edinburgh about 33 hours, then positioned to Copenhagen as flight SK-9240.
