Scope

This standard establishes the requirements and characteristics of aircraft electric power provided at the input terminals of electric utilization equipment. MIL-HDBK-704-1 through-8 defines test methods and procedures for determining airborne utilization equipment compliance with the electric power characteristics requirements defined herein. Electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes are not covered by this standard.

Notes

Claudia's Notes:
This interface standard ensures compatibility between the aircraft electric system, external power, and airborne utilization equipment.

The intent of this document is to define the electric power quality requirements for DoD aircraft, however it may also be used with commercial aircraft or other types of vehicles. Other industry documents such as AS-1212 and ISO-1540 also define aircraft electric power quality requirements. These documents are generally not appropriate for use with military aircraft because they do not address all of the areas of concern with military aircraft electric power quality and often require wider limits compared to this document due to the differences in the types and sizes of aircraft covered.

Marginal notations are not used in this revision to identify changes from previous issue because the changes are so extensive.
