TM 1-1510-218-10 2-108 or voltage is insufficient to keep it connected to the power distribution system. CAUTION The Ground Power Unit (GPU) shall be adjusted to regulate at 28-volts maximum to prevent damage to the aircraft. Do not turn generators on when GPU is supplying power. j. DC External Power Source.External dc power can be applied to the aircraft through an external power receptacle on the underside of the right wing leading edge just outboard of the engine nacelle. The receptacle is installed inside of the wing structure and is accessible through a hinged access panel. DC power is supplied through the dc external plug and applied directly to the battery bus after passing through the external power relay. Turn off external power while connecting the power cable to, or removing it from, the external power supply receptacle. The holding coil circuit of the relay is energized by the external power source when the keylock and BATT / BATTERYswitches are in the ONposition. The GPU shall be adjusted to regulate at 28-volts maximum to prevent damage to the aircraft battery and electronics. k. Security Keylock Switch.The aircraft has a security keylock switch installed on the overhead control panel, placarded OFF / ON. The switch is connected into the battery relay and external power circuits, in series with the battery master power switch. The key cannot be removed from the lock when in the ONposition. The key will not fit the keylocks on other Army aircraft. l. Circuit Breakers. The overhead circuit breaker panel contains circuit breakers for most aircraft systems. The circuit breakers on the panel are grouped into areas, which are placarded as to the general function they protect. A dc power distributionpanel is mounted beneath the floor forward of the main spar. This panel contains higher current rated circuit breakers and is not accessible to the flight crew under normal conditions. Refer to Figure 2-16, Sheet 1 for Cconfiguration, Sheet 2 for D1, Sheet 3 for D2, and sheet 4 for T . 2-84. AC POWER SUPPLY. a. DescriptionC D1 .AC power for the aircraft is supplied by inverter units, numbered #1 and #2, which obtain operating current from the dc power system. Refer to Figure 2-29. Both inverters are rated at 750 VA and provide single-phase output only. Each inverter provides 115-volt and 26-volt 400 Hz ac output. The inverters are protected by circuit breakersmounted on the dc power distribution panel mounted beneath the floor. Aircraft equipment operating from single-phase ac include the following: autopilot navigation receivers, the tuning portion of the ADF receiver, gyromagnetic compass, and engine instruments for fuel flow and torquemeters. Controls and indicators of the ac power system are located on the overhead control panel and on the caution/ advisory annunciator panel. The pilot selects ac sources using the two inverter select switches located on the overhead control panel. NOTE T2 AC Power for ANVIS cathode tube lighting is provided by cathode power packs totally independent of the #1 and #2 aircraft inverters. b. Description D2 T.AC power for the aircraft is supplied by inverter units, numbered #1 and #2, that obtain operating current from the dc power system. Refer to Figure 2-29, Sheets 2 and 3. Both inverters are rated at 750 VA and provide single-phase output only. Each inverter provides 115-volt and 26-volt 400 Hz ac output.The inverters are protected by circuit breakers mounted on the dc power distribution panel mounted beneath the floor. Aircraft equipment operating from single-phase ac include the following: autopilot/flight director, the tuning portion of the ADF receiver, gyromagnetic compass, RMI, pilot's altimeter, transponder IFF computer, and engine instruments for fuel flow and torquemeters. Controls and indicators of the ac power system are located on the overhead control panel and on the caution/ advisory annunciator panel. The pilot selects AC sources using the two inverter select switches located on the overhead control panel. c. AC Power Warning Lights. Two flashing MASTER CAUTIONlights and the illumination of an annunciator caution light #1 INVERTER or #2 INVERTER, indicate an inverter failure. d. Inverter Control Switches. Two switches, placarded INVERTER #1 or #2 on the overhead control panel give the pilot a choice of inverters to provide single-phase ac power. Two inverters are involved in this selection. e. Volt-Frequency Meters C D T1.Two volt-frequency meters are mounted in the overhead control panel to provide monitoring capability for both 115 Vac buses. Normal display on the meter is shown in frequency (Hz). To read voltage, press the button located in the lower left corner of the meter. Normal output of the inverters will be indicated by 115 Vac and 400 Hz on the meters.
