Electrical installation and wiring
4-10 Chapter 4: Installation 98-158751-C
4.3.4 To wire the MCHPA with AC input
ARINC-781 compliant.
The aircraft power bus provides the electric power required to operate the MCHPA, and a
chassis connection to the aircraft chassis and the installation tray. The +115 VAC power
wire must include a circuit breaker capable of carrying the required current continuously
under the required environmental conditions.
The following drawing shows the wiring of the MCHPA AC power supply.
The COLD does not need to go through a breaker.
The COLD must not be connected to chassis ground. Connect the COLD to the aircraft
power bus as stated in the following table.
Pins for AC power
The following list shows the pins used for the AC power supply.
