Section 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1
Scope. This handbook presents information necessary for the proper
design of the 400-Hertz (Hz) conversion, distribution, and utilization systems
that supply power to aircraft and avionic support equipment for aerospace
electrical subsystems. Special regard is paid to systems utilizing
medium-voltage distribution.
1.2
Cancellation. This military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1004/5, cancels and
supersedes NAVFAC DM-4.05, 400-Hertz Medium-Voltage Conversion/Distribution
and Low-Voltage Utilization Systems, dated 30 March 1987.
Policy. It
is Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM)
1.3
policy to provide our
customers with reliable, maintainable, energy efficient
400-Hertz Systems for
selected mission essential equipment. Solid state
systems are preferred
to reduce utility and maintenance costs.
