270 Volt DC Variable Speed Generator and Control Unit and Solid State Electric Logic (SOSTEL) Terminal Test Panels.

摘要

This contract provided engineering services to conduct performance tests on an exploratory development aircraft electrical generator, control units and associated equipment. The tasks included modification of the generator coolant test setup and the test of advanced aircraft electric system components. The first of two generators to be tested developed a ground fault during test which caused a fire. Failure analysis disclosed design deficiencies in the coolant system which will require major equipment modification to correct. This modification will be incorporated into the second generator procured on the contract. Delivery of the second generator was, accordingly, delayed. Modification of the generator coolant system requires changes in the NAVAIRDEVCEN test setup. Effort on this contract was directed to accomplishing this task. Details are contained in this report. Upon completion of the generator test set changes, contract effort was directed to the instrumentation, operational test, and data compilation of a group of sixteen Solid State Electric Logic (SOSTEL) Terminal Test Panels. These panels provide simulated logic level changes for test of Advanced Aircraft Electrical Systems (AAES). Details of this task are contained in this report.
