AMF 400 Hz aircraft AC source
400 Hz ground power for airborne equipment test.
What it is for here
Aircraft electrical equipment runs at 400 Hz and a 50 Hz bench cannot pretend otherwise. UK aerospace programmes and their MOD-facing subcontracts need a source that holds the frequency and the waveform while the DUT misbehaves.
Why it is on the UK site
British aerospace is one of the two sectors this entity is closest to.
Specifications
Published figures for this line are held on the manufacturer’s current datasheet, and they change. Rather than reprint a table that goes stale, send the requirement — the standard, the device under test, the power envelope and the cadence — and an engineer will come back against the current document.
