5. Functional Description
Model
PS-823
Emergency
Power
Supply
consists
of an adjustable
oscillator
that
drives four
power
transistors
in an H-bridge
configuration. The
current
flow between
them
passes
through a
transformer that develops a square
wave
signal.
Part
of the
output
is
stepped-down
and rectified to
provide
charging current to
internal batteries. A
timing circuit
maintains
added
shifted-phase
voltage for
starting
3-phase
gyro motors. The inverter
within Model
PS-823
will
not
operate
if both
the
aircraft
and internal
battery voltage are
below
20.0Vdc. Normal input voltage to
the inverter
is
between
22.0 to
32.0Vde;
from the
aircraft
DC
bus
or
the
Model
PS-823
internal batteries.
The
PS-823E,
F, G
and
H
models
have
some internal
rewiring and
removal
of
the
5 Amp
fuse and
fuseholder
to
accommodate
revision of
the
manual
emergency
bypass
circuits
to
comply with FAA
requirements.
