98-158751-C Chapter 4: Installation 4-11
Description of the MCHPA power supply
+115 VAC Power (BP1, BP7)
The target line impedance should be as low as possible; 1 Ohm preferred maximum;
should not exceed 4 Ohms.
Required current capability for the Circuit Breaker: 300 W @ 90 VAC which equals
3.33 A at the required environmental conditions. A suitable circuit breaker is Klixon 2TC
series with 5 A current rating.
Chassis Ground (BP8)
The chassis connection makes sure that the cabinet and the installation tray has the same
potential, and that there is a connection from the wiring shields to the cabinet for EMC
(ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) purposes.
Connect the wire directly to the installation tray, and to aircraft chassis.
Cable requirements, MCHPA power supply (AC)
Important
Use a separate 5 A circuit breaker for the AC input.
