270 Volt Direct Current Generator Performance Evaluation

Abstract

This document presents the results of the testing of a 45KW, 270 VDC generator. Parameters measured include line voltage, field current, peak-to-peak ripple voltage, distortion spectrum, and transients due to both load application and load removal. The purpose of this testing was to provide a baseline of 270 VDC generator performance. The baseline data will be used as an input of the revision of MIL-STD-704D, the aircraft power quality specification. The performance of the generator under test exceeded expectations. The conclusion of this testing is that no significant problems should be encountered by generator vendors in their efforts to meet the new 270 VDC requirements set forth in MIL- STD-704E.
