Narrative:
After taking off and climbing through flight level 180 left CSD press low and left gen off light came on simultaneously. First officer (first officer) started the CSD press low checklist in the QRH. We followed the checklist which led to left CSD disconnect because of high outlet and rise temps; and no voltage and frequency. We were dispatched with the APU inoperative and now down to one generator. We advised ATC and returned without incident. We landed under max landing weight.
