Mating Ground Electrical Power to Aerospace Ground Equipment and the Flight Vehicle

Present day aerospace ground electronic equipment and the flight vehicle electronic equipment cannot tolerate the quality of electrical power allowed by existing specifications. The increasing use of digital computers and logic type switching devices requires that the regulated rectified power used by these devices be free from transients. The voltage transient problem from the electronic designers' viewpoint is analyzed. A program is proposed to reduce transients to acceptable limits and revise the specifications to include these limits.
