Mobile Electric Power Plant (MEPP) Test Set Development.
Abstract
Military Standard 704B tightens the parametric tolerances governing the quality of power being generated for the various types of aircraft equipment either in use or currently undergoing development. The objective of the work being performed herein is to determine the configuration and cost of a test set that would be used to ensure the power supplied by Mobile Electric Power Plants (MEPP's) is within the tolerances defined in the specification. Surveys of the test equipment field were made, vendors were contacted and demonstrations for equipment evaluations were conducted, and in use assets were considered for MEPP evaluation after consultation with Navy field personnel. Subsequently, a breadboard model of the test set will be constructed and the basic design configuration will be established. Since the equipment necessary to test MEPP's and aircraft generators for compliance with MIL-STD-STD-704B is not available either in a configuration or in quantities that permit its utilization by organizational and intermediate maintenance personnel, it is recommended that a test set be developed that can be used by other than depot level maintenance personnel to ensure that future operational field equipment can be checked for compliance with the new specification.
