MIL-STD-704F Pre-Written Test Standards Available with AC Power Sources
Latest Test Standard Revision F Provides Up to Date Test Sequences for Mil-Std-704, AC Power Compliance Testing for Defense Avionics.
Pacific Power Source provides high frequency AC Power Sources with test sequence options designed to test AC products for compliance with Department of Defense Interface Standard Mil-Std-704, “Aircraft Electric Power Characteristics”. This software option expands our growing portfolio of Avionics Compliance Test options.
The Mil-Std-704 test standard is published by the Department of Defense and applies to all military aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary. First published in 1959, it has undergone several revision changes culminating in its current revision F. The most significant change made by revision F was the addition of test requirements for variable frequency AC power buses. Unlike traditional 400Hz fixed frequency aircraft power, variable frequency power systems allow the frequency to vary between 360Hz and 800Hz. This imposes significant new requirements on the Programmable AC power source used to test for Mil-Std-704 compliance.
“We are pleased to offer this test capability to both new and existing customers of Pacific Power Source products. This Avionics Test offerings allows our customers to get additional use and value from their AC Power Source investment and saves them a considerable amount of setup and programming time when performing these compliance tests.” according to Herman van Eijkelenburg, Product Director for Pacific Power Source.

- LSX Programmable AC Power Source 1.5kVA to 6kVA
- LMX Linear AC Power Source up to 30kW
For ultra high performance, our All-in-1 AZX Series and AGX Series are options with an extended frequency range (AZX up to 10,000HZ and AGX up to 3000Hz)
Save Time with Built-In SmartSource Suite Control Platform
These pre-written standards are available as an integrated option package within the SmartSource Suite, a user-friendly control platform that simplifies testing. The Pacific Power Source Inc. MIL-STD-704F option includes the latest revision F test sequences for all AC power groups. Power groups include single and three phase, fixed 400Hz frequency as well as single and three phase, variable frequency power groups. Finally, the single phase 60Hz power group test sequences are included as well.
The MIL-STD-704F pre-written test sequence option is ideal for customers such as EMC Test Labs involved with defense avionics product certification and testing. Also, manufacturers of AC powered avionics equipment that need to certify their products to this MIL standard can use this option to check for compliance during early stages of product development.
In addition to the MIL-STD 704F, Pacific Power Source also has the other avionics pre-written tests sequence standards listed below. For more information on this product, please visit www.pacificpower.com or call us at (949) 251-1800, or email sales@pacificpower.com.
