61 Total system characteristics This standard speCifies selected characteristics of electric power in a total alroraft system These charactershyIstics are the result of the mutuallnnuences of the electric power generation distribution and load equipment Load equipment should be designed to minimize any deleterious reactions and effects It may have on power quallty It Is not the intent of this standard to specify the manner In which these characteristics are attained Further detail specifications contain additional limits and constraints which are the responsibility of the designer to recognize In the context of the total system llmlts

62 Spikes The random and periodic occurrance of voltage spikes superimposed on other voltage cbaracteristlcs speCified by tbis standard Is acknowledged Their Impact on equipment may range from temporary degradshyation of performance to destruction of equipment The predominance of their bigh frequency behavior however makes necessary the recognltton of their

3]7 Voltage surge The voltage surge is defined as a transient departure of the peak values of voltage from the peak instantaneous value of the steady state voltage persisting for periods In excess of 500 microseconds followed by recovery to within peak values corresponding to steady statebull

Surges are caused by load changes switching or power interruptions elsewhere in the system and are not expected to activate prote9tlve equipment

318 Voltage spike The spike Is a transient oftotal duratlon normally less tban 600 microseconds and is superimposed on the otherwise unaltered instantaneous voltage Spikes may be characterized here in tbe time domain In terms of voltage with parameters of duration risetime and energy They may also be characterized equl valentIy In terms of Fourier component amplitudes as a function of frequency Spikes are not expected to activate protective equipment

36 2 Distortion spectrum The distortion spectrum quanttfies ac distortion and de distortion in terDUJ of the amplltude of eacb frequency component The distortion spectrum includes tbe components resulting from amplltude and frequency modulation as well as barmonic and non-harmonic componenta of the ac waveform

37 Electrical power characteristics The electrical power characteristics include values and llmits of voltage and frequency parameters and include related characteristics pertinent to electromagnetic compatibUlty requirements as well as tbose designated in ac and de subcategories These characteristics are representative of steady and transient states experienced in system operation during all pbases of aircraft operation

38 Electric power system The aircraft electric power system is tbat group of connected generation distribution protective and conversion equipments active in supplying electric power to utilization equipmenta The terms main or primary electric power system generally refer to tbe englneshydriven generator its accompanying electronic power-converter if any plus associated distribution wiring and control

39 Electromagnetic compatlblllty The capablilty of systems and aSSOCiated equipment to perform at spectf1ed levels in tbe total electromagnetic environment

310 Emergency mode The emergency mode Is that condition of the electric system wbereby a limited electric source often independent of the main generation equipment is used to power a selected reduced complement of distribution and utlllzatioo equipment

3101 Emergency power cbaracteristics The emergency power characteristics are those existing at the utilization equipment terminals during operation in tbe emergency mode

3112 Frequency drlft Frequency drlft Is the slow and random varlatiOil of the controlled frequency level within ateady state limits due to such Influences as enrironmental effecta and aging

31121 Frequency drlft rate The frequency drift rate la the time rate of frequency ctiiDge due to frequency drlft

3113 Frequency modulation Frequency modulation Is defined as difference between maximum and minimum valuea of lIT where T la the perlod of one cycle of the fundamental of the phase voltage When applicable the rate at which 1T valuea repeat cyclically la called the frequency modulashytion rate

311 Frequency transient The frequency transient Is the locus of values deflned bY the rectprocals of sequentlal alternation perlods of the ac voltage In Instances when the frequency departs from the steady-state value

312 Overvoltase and undervoltage Overvoltage and undervoltage are tbose voltages which exceed the combined steady state and surge llm1ts and are usually termtnated by the action of protective devices Although generally short lived they differ from surges In the seDSe that if left unchecked they would continue indefinitely at their fixed magnitude or until some breakdown In operation was prectpltated Overvoltage and undervoltage can exist InshydeflD1tely at values sllgbtly exceeding steady state Itmtts but within the trlp ltmlts of the generator protectton clrcults They are generally due to loss of regulator control to unbalance or to faults I e causes other than those producing surge voltages On ac systems they apply on all three phases or only one or two phases bull

316 Voltage phase difference Tbe voltage phase difference Is the difference in electrical degrees between tbe fundamental components of any two phase voltages taken at consecutlve zero or dc level crossings of their Instantaneous values traced In the negatlve to positive directions

3]7 Voltage surge The voltage surge is defined as a transient departure of the peak values of voltage from the peak instantaneous value of the steady state voltage persisting for periods In excess of 500 microseconds followed by recovery to within peak values corresponding to steady statebull

Surges are caused by load changes switching or power interruptions elsewhere in the system and are not expected to activate prote9tlve equipment

318 Voltage spike The spike Is a transient oftotal duratlon normally less tban 600 microseconds and is superimposed on the otherwise unaltered instantaneous voltage Spikes may be characterized here in tbe time domain In terms of voltage with parameters of duration risetime and energy They may also be characterized equl valentIy In terms of Fourier component amplitudes as a function of frequency Spikes are not expected to activate protective equipment

61 Total system characteristics This standard speCifies selected characteristics of electric power in a total alroraft system These charactershyIstics are the result of the mutuallnnuences of the electric power generation distribution and load equipment Load equipment should be designed to minimize any deleterious reactions and effects It may have on power quallty It Is not the intent of this standard to specify the manner In which these characteristics are attained Further detail specifications contain additional limits and constraints which are the responsibility of the designer to recognize In the context of the total system llmlts

62 Spikes The random and periodic occurrance of voltage spikes superimposed on other voltage cbaracteristlcs speCified by tbis standard Is acknowledged Their Impact on equipment may range from temporary degradshyation of performance to destruction of equipment The predominance of their bigh frequency behavior however makes necessary the recognltton of their
