GROUND POWER
The external power receptacle (Figure 2A-16)
is located immediately forward of the tail com-
partment access door on SNs 23-003 through
24-129. On all other Learjets, it is located on
the left side of the fuselage adjacent to the left
engine tailpipe. It is not necessary to operate
any airplane switches to apply external power
to the batteries or battery bus. On SNs 24-190
through 24-229, and 25-030 through 25-064,
the external power system incorporates an ex-
ternal power overvoltage cutout circuit con-
tained within the generator control box.
The overvoltage circuit prevents the GPU from
powering the airplane electrical system if GPU
voltage exceeds 33 ±2 volts. GPU capability
should be limited to 28 VDC and a maximum
of 1,000 amperes. The 1,000-ampere limit is
set because of starter shaft torque limits. When
using a GPU for engine starting, a minimum
of 800 amperes is required.
AC POWER
INVERTERS
SNs 23-003 through 24-129
Two JET solid-state static inverters, located
in the tail compartment, provide 115-VAC,
400-Hz, single-phase power (Figure 2A-17).
Through a separate stepdown transformer, 26-
VAC power is also provided. Each inverter is
rated at 750 VA. During normal operation, the
main inverter, through the closed AC bus-tie
circuit breaker, operates all AC-powered equip-
ment except the radar. When the radar is in ei-
ther standby position or a range setting, the
standby inverter automatically comes on to
supply power just for the radar.
