This course includes information necessary for the proper design of 400-Hertz (Hz) conversion, distribution, and utilization systems. Special regard is paid to systems utilizing medium-voltage distribution. Systems supplying 400 Hz for ground-power operations use frequency conversion equipment to change 60-Hz input to 400-Hz output. Rotary converters (motor generator sets) or solid state converters are used for this purpose. Fixed service point units to which avionics equipment and aircraft are connected are supplied from either nearby frequency conversion assemblies over a low-voltage feeder system or from a more remotely located 400-Hz central plant using medium-voltage feeders.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
