11.3 AMD Option
11.3.1 General
The -AMD option supports the DC Voltage power group of the Airbus AMD-24 rev C immunity
tests.
The
–AMD option is based on Airbus A400M Directive: AMD-24 Issue C, Electrical
characteristics of aircraft AC and DC systems Appendix C dated March 22, 2005.
Future revisions of the AMD-24 directive may be issued over time and updates may be made
available to cover any changes in test levels, durations, procedures etc. Furthermore, the
–AMD
option is completely data file driven to allow a large degree of customization by the end-user if
needed so many changes can be supported without the need for software updates.
This section of the manual explains the amount of test coverage and limitations of this test
option.
This manual is not intended to elaborate on the intent or purpose of the immunity tests and the
expected behavior of the EUT as described in the Airbus documents. It is assumed that the end-
user is familiar with the content of the AMD-24 test standard.
11.3.2 AMD Power Groups
The
–AMD option supports only the DC mode of operation. As such, only the LDC power group
as described in the Airbus A400M AMD-24 directive is covered.
Group Description
LDC 28VDC
The required steady state output settings for each power group must be selected based on the
type of EUT to be tested. These settings can be made from the front panel of the power source
or from the main Gui control screen.
