August 2005 2-1

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Section 2: Safety
1. Personnel
Only fully qualified electrical and electronic personnel should install and maintain
this equipment. It is important that these people read the instructions in this
manual before doing any work on a Jetpower Plus PWM converter. Close
attention must be paid to all warnings and cautions.
2. Jewelry
High voltage operates a Jetpower Plus PWM power converter. Do not wear
watches, rings or other jewelry while working on this equipment.
3. Warning Light
Normal input power is three phase 480, 415, 400 or 380 volts, 50 or 60 Hz. This
is present throughout the unit whenever the yellow light on the front of the unit is
on.
4. Wiring
All wiring is in accordance with the National Electrical Code and is consistent
with all local codes. All internal electrical connections between components are
made at the factory.
When installing a Jetpower Plus PWM power converter, insure that all
connections are clean and tight.
August 2005 2-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Section 3: Mounting
1. General
The Jetpower Plus PWM power converters are free-standing units designed for
permanent installation. Auxiliary units such as power distribution panels and
line-drop-compensation units, input and output power cabling, and access to
the system units will determine the location of the permanent installation.
2. Clearance Requirements
The required clearance for the power converter depends on the style of the unit.
3. Base Mounting
A base can be supplied by FMC Airport Systems Jetway which raises the
Jetpower Plus PWM power converter to provide additional clearance from the
floor. This base should be used when the possibility of a fuel spill near the
power converter exists.
4. Airflow Requirements
Airflow required for the Jetpower Plus PWM power converter varies depending
on the power capability and style of unit. In general, the units draw air from the
bottom and exhaust it out the top.
•WARNING: DO NOT BLOCK THE AIR FLOW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE
JETPOWER CONVERTER. DAMAGE TO YOUR UNIT MAY
RESULT.
5. Outdoor Use
Some Jetpower Plus PWM power converters have been designed for use in an
outdoor environment. Please consult FMC Airport Systems Jetway for specific
information on your unit.
August 2005 2-3

JETWAY
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
Section 3: Mounting
6. Distribution Systems
The Jetpower Plus PWM system is designed as part of a multiple point of use
system ("central system"). The distribution system, which is not part of the
Jetpower Plus PWM power converter, will make the 400 Hz voltage available at
each point in the system. The distribution system must monitor the load and
controls at each point.
A. Unit Size
When using a central system, the Jetpower Plus PWM converter provides
all the 400 Hz used in the system. Various capacities of Jetpower Plus
PWM power converters are available, including paralleled configurations
which can meet virtually any load requirement. The size of the converter
must be chosen carefully to provide adequate capacity for the predicated
loads.
B. Diversity Factor
During normal maintenance operations not every aircraft location is

used, nor does every aircraft draw its maximum load. Therefore, to
avoid providing an excessive amount of available power, it is common
practice to figure the total kVA requirements using a percentage of what
the maximum use could be. This percentage, called the diversity factor,
is normally less than 50% and calculated by a series of variables.
C. Voltage Drops
Another very important consideration is the voltage drop that will exist
along the various legs of the distribution network. These drops must be
calculated and taken into account.
D. Line Drop Compensators
The voltage drops are commonly called “line drops” other manufacturers
build systems to reduce or overcome the line drops. These Line Drop
Compensations Systems (LDC’s) can either balance out a portion of the
line losses or boost the source voltage for a particular line. The LDC'’
must work on each line independently so that a heavy load on one line,
for example, will not affect a lightly loaded line.

Section 5: Operational Controls
1. Jetpower Plus PWM Start/Stop Controls
A. A set of stop/start push button switches are necessary to operate the

Jetpower Plus PWM conversion unit. These switches are installed on the
front door of the Jetpower.
B. A external start/stop pushbutton station is available from FMC Airport

Systems Jetway. Refer to the input wiring drawing for connection details.
C. In addition to the external start/stop pushbutton control station, the output

cable can have a set of start/stop pushbuttons installed in the output
head of the cable. (Terminal or output contactors options only.)
D. Depressing the start button will start the Jetpower Plus PWM unit and
depressing the Stop pushbutton will stop the unit.
E. Depressing the stop pushbutton will also reset the fault indications.
F. To enable a Jetpower Plus PWM converter to operate, you must apply

input power to the unit. The yellow light on the control side will illuminate
to indicate that high voltage is now present inside the converter.
•CAUTION: USE EXTREME CARE WHEN OPENING THE DOORS OF

THE CONVERTER. HIGH VOLTAGE WILL BE PRESENT
WHILE INPUT POWER IS APPLIED.
2. Output Voltage Adjust
A. The output voltage is adjusted by using the output voltage adjust

potentiometer located next to the hour meter.
B. Turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the output voltage and

turning it counter-clockwise decreases the output voltage.
August 2005 2-5

JETWAY
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
3. Test Controls
A. Bypass Switch
ªNOTE: This does not apply to parallel units or units with one or
more contactors on the output.
(1) The Bypass Switch is located on the front of the logic board.
(2) During normal Jetpower Plus PWM converter operation this switch
must be in the DOWN (Bypass OFF) position. When toggled to the
UP position the converter may be operated without a 28 DC volt
return signal from the aircraft.
(3) This allows for the unit to be tested without a load or on a loadbank
that does not have a 28 volt interlock system.
B. Auto/Manual Switch
(1) This switch is located on the front of the 24 phase board.
(2) During normal Jetpower Plus PWM converter operation this switch
must be in the UP (automatic mode) position. When toggled to the
DOWN the unit is in the MANUAL mode.
(3) The automatic mode enables the converters output voltage

regulation circuitry and allows the output voltage to only be
adjusted from 100 to 126 volts for 115 volt units or 500 to 650 volts
for 575 volt units. If the output voltage drops below 100 volts or
500 volts for a 575 volt unit while in the automatic mode an under
voltage fault will occur.
(4) The manual mode disables the converters output voltage

regulation circuitry and allows the output voltage to be adjusted
from 0 to full output voltage.
(5) While in the manual mode the output voltage will not be regulated
and will rise and lower as the load or the input voltage changes.
This position is to be used for testing purposes only.

129 A relay - common (wiper)
130 A relay - normally open
B. "S" Relay Operation
The "S" relay is energized when the Jetpower Plus PWM converter is
producing 400 Hz power and is de-energized when 400 Hz power is not
being produce.
C. "A" Relay Operation
The "A" relay is energized when the Jetpower has a fault of any kind and
de-energized when the fault is cleared by depressing the stop button.
D. Relay Locations
Both relays are located on the logic board and are made available for
customer use via terminal block TB-M.

Section 7: Line Drop Compensation
ªNOTE: Sections 7 and 8 are not applicable to paralleled units.
A limited amount of output line drop compensation is available from the Jetpower Plus
PWM unit. This compensation is controlled by a potentiometer on the 24 Phase circuit
board. In paralleled systems the line drop pot should be turned all the way down.
1. Factory Settings
The line drop compensation for each Jetpower Plus PWM unit is adjusted at the
factory for approximately 60 feet (18.29 m) of output cable.
2. Field Adjustment
If an output cable of a length other than 60 feet (18.29 m) is used, it will be

necessary to readjust the line drop compensation potentiometer.
A. When receiving a new 24 Phase board from FMC Airport Systems Jetway
the line drop compensation potentiometer will be turned all the way down
(fully counterclockwise).
To obtain an estimated line drop compensation setting for 60 feet of

output cable, turn the line drop compensation potentiometer 180 degrees
clockwise.
B. A precise line drop compensation setting can be made with the use of a
load bank.
(1) Operate the Jetpower Plus PWM converter with the auto/manual
switch on the 24 phase board in the auto position and the bypass
switch on the logic board in the on position.
(2) With no load applied, adjust the output voltage potentiometer so

the output voltage reads 115 volts on the digital voltmeter.
(3) Apply as close to a full load as possible to the end of the

converters output cable.

JETPOWER PLUS PWM
Section 7: Line Drop Compensation
(4) Adjust the line drop compensation potentiometer on the 24 Phase

board so that the output voltage reads 115 volts when monitored
as near the load end of the output cable as possible.
)NOTE: After the completion of the line drop compensation

procedure, the output voltage under load will read
several volts higher on the digital panel meter than
the voltage read at the load end of the output cable.

Section 8: General Operation
1. Without 28 Volts Received
To operate the Jetpower Plus PWM converter without being connected to an

aircraft, i.e., without 28 volts being received from the aircraft by the converter,
one of two methods may be employed.
A. Method #1
ªNOTE: Use this method when there are no contactors present on

the output.
Place the bypass switch on the logic board to the “ON” position. This will
cause the yellow light on the front of the converter to begin flashing.
The Jetpower unit may now be operated without 28 volts being received
from the aircraft.
B. Method #2
ªNOTE: This method is used when contactors are installed on the

output.
Connect a #18-20 wire jumper between 220 and 216 on TBM. This
applies 25 VDC to the feedback circuit and simulates the 28 volts being
received from an aircraft.
Using this method keeps the yellow light on the front of the converter on
steady.
To provide 400 Hz power to the output terminals of the Jetpower unit the
operator need only depress the start push button.
Proper operation can be verified by observing the steady green light on

the front of the unit and the average output voltage displayed on the
digital panel meter.

2. With 28 Volts Received
When providing 400 Hz power to an aircraft with the Jetpower converter the 28
volt safety system should be used. (Except when parallel option is installed).
A. General
This system consists of a timer circuit on the logic board which will turn
the converter off if 28 volts is not received from the aircraft within 5
seconds of turning the unit on. If Contactor control boards are installed
operation will change. Refer to the contactor control unit in the options
section of this manual.
With the unit operating and with 28 volts applied to 216, the converter will
operate continuously until either the stop button is depressed or the 28
volts is removed from 216.
B. Operation
The 28 volt safety system will be in operation when the wires marked E
and F from the aircraft cable are connected to terminals 234 and 216 on
TBM.
ªNOTE: If the 28 volts is removed while the converter is operating, the unit
will shut off immediately.
C. Aircraft Cable
Before connecting the Jetpower converter to an aircraft, the operator

should first look to see that the yellow light on the front of the converter is
on steady. Now carefully insert the aircraft connector into the aircraft
receptacle and insure the connector is pushed all the way on.
D. Starting the Converter
The next step is to depress the Jetpower start push button. Verify the
converter is operating by observing the green run light on either the front
of the converter or the light located above the start push button.

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Section 1: Theory
1. The PWM Jetpower rectifies 50 or 60 Hz, 3 phase, input power and converts it to
400 Hz, 3 phase, output power. The block diagram describes how this is done.
A. The Rectifier
(1) The rectifier is actually a set of SCR’s that are used to switch and
rectify the input voltage. This rectifiers is what generates the DC
bus voltage. The rectifiers are controlled from the SCR Ramp
Board, which controls soft start on and off.
B. DC Bus
(1) The DC voltage which the rectifiers generate is called the DC Bus.
This voltage is filtered by sending the voltage through the Bus
Chokes and then to the Bus Capacitors. This filtering smoothers
the DC voltage so that it has very low ripple. This DC voltage is
connected to the power switching transistors.
(2) The bus discharge circuit is connected across the DC bus. The
bus capacitors can hold a high voltage potential on the DC bus.
The bus discharge circuit removes that voltage within 30 seconds
of the input power being removed.
•WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE WILL PERSIST IF THE

DISCHARGE CIRCUIT FAILS.
C. IGBT’s
The IGBT’s are the power semiconductor switches that generate the 400
Hz. There are 4 banks of these transistors. Each bank generates a 3
phase 400 Hz PWM waveform. The signals that control the IGBT’s are
constantly changing. This allows a 400 Hz sinewave of varying output
amplitudes to be generated. A sample waveform is shown below:
The above figure is a typical transistor drive waveform. The pulse widths
will vary as the voltage and the load goes up and down. The outputs of
the transistors are connected to the output transformers.
August 2005 3-1

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Section 1: Theory
D. Output Transformers
(1) The output transformers are located in the output section of the
Jetpower. They receive the switched PWM voltage waveforms and
then sum each transistor section together so that a sine wave is
generated at the output.
(2) One three-phase transistor section connects to one output

transformer. The secondary of each transformer is connected in
series so that each transistor section supplies a piece of the output
waveform.
E. Output Capacitors
(1) The output capacitors smooth out the stepped waveform from the
output transformers to create a low distortion sine wave which is
then connected to the output terminals of the Jetpower.
ªNOTE: The output voltage of the PWM Jetpower is not controlled by varying the
DC voltage on the DC bus, but by varying the PWM waveforms.

(Example of DIP Switch 3 set to 90KVA and 480VAC)
B. The input voltage settings can be set to 480vac, 415vac, and 380vac. To
set the board to 380vac input, set the switch ON which is marked 380vac
and make sure the 415vac switch is in the OFF position. To set the board
to 415vac input, set the switch ON which is marked 415vac and make
sure the 380vac switch is OFF. To set the board to 400vac input, set both
the 380vac and the 415vac switches to the ON position. To set the board
to 480vac input set both the 380vac and the 415vac switched to the OFF
position.
C. If you apply power to the PWM Jetpower with the DIP switch set to the
wrong voltage setting you could get an input voltage fault on the Logic
board LED display.

D. The possible kva settings are 90kva, 140kva, 180kva, and 312kva. The
proper setting for the unit size in which this board is being installed
should be selected to the ON position. The remaining kva size selections
should be in the OFF position.
•WARNING: IF YOU SET THE KVA SWITCHES TO THE WRONG POSITION

THE OVERLOAD PROTECTIONS CIRCUITS WILL NOT
PROVIDE THE CORRECT PROTECTION FOR THE JETPOWER.
E. The 4RST switch setting should be left in the OFF position. This is used
for special applications only.
3. Older Logic Board DIP Switch Instructions
Older versions of the logic board should not be used with the Jetpower Plus
PWM units. The part numbers of the older boards are 2911647 and 2912166.
4. PWM SCR Ramp Board Jumper Instructions
The PWM SCR Ramp Board has 2 jumpers (J2 and J3). These jumpers set the
board to operate with 50 or 60 hertz on the incoming power. If the frequency of
the incoming power is 60 Hertz then both jumpers should be set at the 60 Hz
setting for the unit to operate properly. The same applies for 50 Hz.

Section 2: Troubleshooting
1. Initial Checks
A. Wiring
Following the initial installation of a Jetpower Plus PWM converter or the

replacement of parts, it is always best to inspect and verify that all wiring
is correct and secure.
(1) Input/Output Wiring
(a) The incoming three phase 50 or 60 Hertz power is normally

brought into the unit through the case and connected to a
terminal block or a circuit breaker.
(b) Verify that the wires are connected securely.
(c) Verify that the output cable is connected correctly and

check for lug bolt tightness.
(2) Control Wiring
(a) If there is any start/stop wiring check that it is properly

connected to TB-M.
(b) If there are output cables, check for proper E and F safety
interlock wiring.
(c) Insure the connector on the IV Sense board is properly

seated.
August 2005 4-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
(3) SCR Wiring
(a) Insure that the three wires coming from the input are
securely fastened to the appropriate SCR.
(b) Verify that the connectors on the ends of the wires going
from the SCR interface board to the SCR are properly
seated.
(4) Transistor Drive Boards
(a) Verify that all the 12 VAC and 9 pin D connectors are
properly seated.
(b) Check that the transistor output wire from each transistor
terminal C2E1 is properly positioned and that the three
transistor board mounting screws are tight.
(5) Card Rack Connectors
(a) On the 24 phase board insure that the cable from P1 to

inverters 1 & 2 is connected to the top connector and that
the cable from P2 to inverters 3 & 4 is connected to the
bottom connector.
These connectors can be installed in the wrong place and

the Jetpower will operate, but the output voltages will not be
correct.
(b) Carefully check the three (3) connectors plugged into the
BITE board.
(c) Carefully check the two (2) connectors plugged into the
Logic board.
(d) Carefully check the connector plugged into the Power

Supply board.
(e) Connector into SCR Ramp

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
B. Status Lights
When first inspecting a Jetpower Plus PWM converter that has been
reported as having a problem, always begin by first checking the status of
the three lights on the front of the unit.
Color Status Indication
Red Off No Faults Being Reported
The red light off indicates that there are no faults being reported
by the converter.
This is the normal operating condition of this light.
Red Steady System Fault
When the red light is on steady, a fault condition has occurred.
Check the seven segment displays on the logic board to see what
the fault is.
Red Flashing Input Out of Phase
When the red light is flashing, either the input (380/480 volts) is
missing one or two phases, or the input voltages are out of
tolerance.
Yellow Off No Input Power Applied
The yellow light off indicates that the 380 or 480 input voltage is
not being received by the converter.
Yellow Steady Input Power Applied
The yellow light will always be on steady whenever the input
circuit breaker is on and input power is being supplied to the
converter.
Yellow Flashing Aircraft Safety Circuit Bypassed
A flashing yellow light indicates that the bypass switch on the logic
board is turned on.
Green Off 400 Hz Power Off
The green light off indicates that the converter is not operating and
400 Hz power is not present at the aircraft plug.
Green Steady 400 Hz Power to the Aircraft Plug
The green light is on steady whenever the converter is turned on
and is operating.
Green Flashing No 28v Received from the Aircraft
Once 28 volts has been supplied to the converter, its removal
causes the converter to shut off and the green light to begin
flashing. (For units that have no contactors in the output section.)
August 2005 4-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
C. Input Power
(1) If the red fault light is flashing, then either the input (380/480 volts)
is missing one or two phases or the input voltages are out of
tolerance.
(2) Depress first the A IN, then the B IN and finally the C IN push
buttons on the key pad.
(3) The input voltages should be displayed on the digital panel meter,
visible through the clear Plexiglas window.
(4) If the incoming voltages are not correct, use a hand held digital
voltmeter and trace back through the converter to the incoming
circuit breaker and then on to the source of the utility power to
determine where the problem is.
D. DC Voltages
(1) Check the +5 VDC and the ±15 VDC by observing the three green
LED's located on the P/S board.
(2) These LED's should be on and all at about the same intensity.
2. Low Voltage Power Supply Problem
A. If any of the power supply LED's are not lit or are dim, turn off the main
power to the converter, unplug the Power Supply board from the card
rack (leaving the cable plugged into the front of the board) and then turn
back on the main power to the converter.
B. If the three LED's are still not properly lit, replace the P/S board.
4-2 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
C. If the LED's are properly lit with the board unplugged, turn off the main
power to the converter and find the source of the problem.
(1) To do this, first place an ohm meter between ground (pins 1,A,22
or Z) on the card racks edge connector and the pin associated with
the unlit LED. +15v is pin 2,B. -14v is pin 21,Y. +5v is pin 3,C.
(2) Then remove one circuit board at a time from the card rack until
the cause of the problem (usually a short) is eliminated.
•CAUTION: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO NOT REMOVE OR

INSTALL A CIRCUIT BOARD WITH THE MAIN INPUT
POWER ON.
3. Converter Faults
A steady red light on the front of the converter indicates that a fault signal has
been returned to the logic board.
A. Inverter Alarms
(1) One of the most common causes of a fault (red) light is an inverter
alarm.
(2) A number will appear on the top numerical LED located on the
edge of the logic board which indicates which inverter is causing
the problem.
August 2005 4-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
B. Main Faults
The bottom LED on the Logic board displays the main faults. The
following is a detailed description of these faults:
Indication Fault
1 Input Voltage to High.
This fault should only occur when the input voltage is more than 10 %
higher than the rated input voltage. For 480 volt rating this would be 528
volts, for 415 it would be 456 volts, for 380 it would be 418 volts. Use the
voltage reading obtained on the digital meter on the unit for checking this
because this is what the fault circuitry uses. If the voltages are all OK it is
worth checking the voltage setting on the Logic Board for an incorrect
setting. See Logic Board description for how to set the switches. If this still
does not eliminate the fault then the Logic board could be bad. This fault is
reset by first pushing the stop button and then by removing and reapplying
the input power. This fault will also cause the red lamp on the front panel to
blink.
2 DC Bus Fault.
This fault is to indicate that a fault has occurred on the DC bus Discharge
system. Whenever input power is removed the Discharge board activates
and discharges the voltage on the DC bus. Two large resistors mounted on
the Discharge bard are used to discharge this voltage. A heat sensor is
mounted on the resistors. If the resistors get too hot the heat sensor will trip
and a DC Bus fault will occur. This fault could mean that the Discharge
board tried to discharge with power applied to the unit. This could happen
if the board failed or the cable connected to the board is not plugged in or a
wire has come loose going to this connector. There is one LED on the
board. This indicates that the board is receiving 120vac to tell in to NOT
discharge. When the 120vac goes away it will discharge.
3 Output Voltage Low.
This fault will occur when the output voltage goes below 100 volts or 500
volts for 575 volt unit for more than 4 seconds. Under normal conditions this
should not ever occur. The most common occurrence is when the voltage
control pot has been turned down and the Jetpower is started. If the voltage
is not adjusted above 100 volts within 4 seconds, this fault will occur. This
fault is cleared by pushing the stop button.
4-2 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Indication Fault
4 Output Voltage Above 180 Volts. (120 Volt units)
This is another fault that should not ever occur. It is in the unit to shut it
down if the voltage ever got this high in order to meet MIL-STD-704. If this
fault occurs then something is wrong with the 24 Phase board that makes it
put out too high of output voltage. This fault is cleared by pushing the stop
button.
5 Output Voltage High.
This fault could occur if the voltage goes above 126 volts or 765 volts for
575 volt unit for too long. It is a timed fault. The higher the voltage the faster
it faults. At 2% above the limit the Jetpower will run for 1 second, but at 20%
above the limit it will run for about .1 seconds. This is according to a curve
that MIL-STD-704 specifies. Note that some individual specifications call for
different over voltage limits so the level that this fault occurs could vary. This
fault is cleared by pushing the stop button.
6 Output Overload.
This fault can occur if the Jetpower is operated in an overload condition to
long. It is timed so that the higher the load the faster the fault will occur. The
maximum load is 200%. At about 210% the fault will occur almost instantly.
The fault can be reset by pushing the stop button.
7 No 28 Volts on E & F.
This fault occurs if the 28 volt interlock system with the aircraft is not
functioning. When the Jetpower is started it produces 400 Hz. But if after 4
seconds the 28v interlock signal is not received from the aircraft this fault
will occur. It will also occur instantly if the 28 volt signal is ever lost after this
initial 4 second start up time. The most likely reason this fault would occur is
if the output cable is bad or the plug was pulled from the aircraft while hot.
The fault can be cleared by pushing the stop button. If there are any type of
contactors in the output section then this fault should not appear.
8 E & F Over-Voltage.
This fault occurs if greater than 60 volts is ever present on the 28 volt aircraft
interlock wires. This could occur if the output cable has a short in it that
applies one of the output phase wires to the 28 volt wires. The fault can be
cleared by pushing the stop button.
August 2005 4-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
Indication Fault
9 Input Voltage Low.
This fault should only occur when the input voltage is lower than 15 %
below the rated input voltage. For 480 volt rating this would be 408 volts, for
415 it would be 353 volts, for 380 it would be 323 volts. Use the voltage
reading obtained on the digital meter on the unit for checking this because
this is what the fault circuitry uses. If the voltages are all OK it is worth
checking the voltage setting on the Logic Board for an incorrect setting. See
Logic Board description for how to set the switches. If this still does not
eliminate fault the Logic board could be bad. The fault can be cleared by
pushing the stop button. This fault will also cause the red lamp on the front
panel to blink.
A No Output Voltage Control.
This fault will occur if the Jetpower does not detect the output voltage. It is
to protect the aircraft in the event something failed in the Jetpower. The
Jetpower regulates its output voltage by observing what it reads at the
output. If it reads 0 volts at the output it would try to make the output
voltage go higher until it reads the correct voltage. If no signal was detected
but the voltage was actually there then very high voltages could be
produced on the output.
This fault could occur if the Jetpower is in Automatic control (toggle switch
on 24 Phase board) and the voltage control pot is turned down all the way
when the start button is pushed. In this condition no voltage is detected and
a fault will occur. To stop this turn the voltage control pot up about 1/3 of
the way and then push the start button. The Jetpower should come on and
then the voltage can be turned up before an under voltage fault occurs.
This fault can also occur if the plug on the IV Sense board has been
removed or is not connected properly.
The fault can be cleared by pushing the stop button.
b Single Output Line shorted.
This fault monitors if one of the output phases goes above 130 volts or 650
volts for 575 volt unit but the other two remain low. This should never occur
but is there for protection. The fault can be cleared by pushing the stop
button.
4-2 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
Indication Fault
C Output Frequency out of Tolerance.

This fault should never occur. It detects the output frequency and faults if
the frequency is lower than 370 Hz or greater than 430 Hz. The 400 Hz
generator is crystal locked so the frequency should never vary. But if the
crystal failed and it doubled or halved in frequency (most likely failure) this
fault would occur. This is an indication that that 24 Phase board has failed.
The fault can be cleared by pushing the stop button.
d not used
E Over Temperature
This fault can occur if one of the large heatsinks get too warm. There are
heatsinks on each power switching transistor bank (or IGBT) and on the
main rectifier bank. Each heatsink has a temperature switch. They are all
wired in series. If any one the switches opens this fault would occur. When
this fault occurs the fans on the Jetpower continue to operate but the
Jetpower will not. This allows the Jetpower to cool down. This fault could
occur if a fan failed and a moderate load was applied to the Jetpower which
would cause an over heat condition. If the Jetpower is not warm it is
possible that a connection on one of the temperature switches has come
off. The fault can be cleared by pushing the stop button.
F IGBT Alarm.
This fault occurs when a power IGBT has failed to turn on when it was
supposed to. It can occur if the transistor is bad or when an extreme load
was applied that was not caught by the overload fault.. The top display on
the Logic board will identify which IGBT failed. Sometimes it is obvious that
a IGBT has failed. Physical damage can be seen around the IGBT where it
has destroyed itself. If no physical damage is observed then push the stop
button, remove and reapply the input power and push the start button
again. If no fault occurs it was probably some kind of short on the output
that is no longer there. If a fault occurs again then the IGBT that is identified
on the top display is bad.
Always replace both the IGBT and the Drive board that is mounted on top of
it. After replacing a IGBT put the Logic board into test mode to test the
IGBT’s before operating normally.

4. Troubleshooting Tips
To simplify troubleshooting, remember that the Jetpower Plus PWM ground

power unit consists of only four (4) basic parts.
A. The Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR's)
(1) This section receives the incoming volts AC and changes it to DC.
(2) This DC voltage is then changed to 400Hz square waves by the

inverters. The square waves are then combined by the output
transformers to form the three output waveforms.
(3) Therefore, if your problem is something that affects all three of

the output voltages the same then the problem is most likely
with the rectifier section.
(4) The rectifier is designed to provide the DC bus voltage necessary

to produce up to 180 kVA of 3 Phase 400 Hz power.
It contains three (3) high current dual SCRs which are used as a
switched rectifier to put the DC on the bus.
This type of rectification is commonly called a six (6) step rectifier.
)NOTE: FMC Airport Systems Jetway does provide a twelve (12)

step rectifier as an option.
(5) The SCR control signal that turns the SCRs on and off comes from
the SCR ramp board that receives on/off commands from the logic
board.
When the start button is pushed the Logic board sends the control
signal to the SCR ramp board for SCR control.
When either the stop button is pushed or a fault occurs the Logic
board sends the off signal to the SCR ramp board that removes the
SCR’s gate drive.
4-2 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
When the start switch is pushed the SCRs are turned on and the
voltage on the DC bus will ramp up slowly until the SCRs are
completely on.
A small pot located on the front of the SCR Ramp board can be
used in testing. This pot is a manual adjustment of the DC voltage
on the bus. When turned fully counter clockwise no voltage will be
present on the bus. As the pot is turned clockwise the voltage will
increase. Normal operation is the pot fully clockwise.
B. The Inverters (IGBT’s)
(1) The inverter section consists of the 24 phase board that sends out
the inverter drive signals to the four (4) inverters.
(2) The inverters receive the DC voltage from the SCR section.
Through the use of large power IGBT’s, they change this DC
voltage to a string of square waves.
(3) Each of the four (4) inverters are made up of three sections. Each
section contains a IGBT drive board and a power IGBT.
(4) Therefore, if your problem is affecting one phase different than

another phase then the problem will most likely be with one
section of an inverter.
C. The Transformer Section
(1) The output transformers receive the pulses from the inverter
sections and combine them to form the output waveforms.
(2) Therefore, gross irregularities in the output voltages will

usually be caused by a problem in the transformer section or
an inverter.
(3) When troubleshooting the transformer section always check first

for discolored or loose connections.
August 2005 4-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
JETPOWER PLUS PWM
(4) Then carefully inspect the transformers input and output wires to
insure that they are not shorted to the case or to one of the
transformer lugs.
(5) When operated with a load the transformer primaries should all
have approximately the same current.
D. The Control Section
This section consists of the Logic board, the stop/start push buttons and
the IV sense board.
(1) Logic Board
The Logic board provides the control logic that stops and starts the
converter.
This board also receives the 28 volts that comes from the aircraft
and provides the logic that controls the operation of the three
indicator lights on the front of the converter.
Therefore, if you have a problem with the 28 volt return system,

the operation of the start/stop controls or the indicator lights,
the problem may be with the Logic board.
(2) The Stop/Start Push Buttons
The stop/start push buttons can be checked using the installation

drawings and an ohm meter.
4-2 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
(3) IV Sense Board
The IV Sense board monitors the output voltages and currents and
sends samples back to the 24 Phase board and the BITE board.
Therefore, if your problem is output voltage regulation the

cause may be either the IV Sense board or the 24 Phase board.
If the problem is with the digital panel meter the cause may be with
either the key pad assembly, the IV Sense board, the BITE board
or the meter itself.
E. The Output Cable
(1) Most problems with the output cable will be either shorts between
the conductors or open conductors.
(2) Always disconnect the cable from the converter prior to ohming it
out.
This will insure you do not get erroneous readings by reading back
through the output transformer windings.
(3) Problems occurring immediately after an output cable installation

most likely will be caused by the output phase rotation being
connected incorrectly.

Section 4: Parts Replacement
The most common part necessary to replace will be a circuit board.
•CAUTION: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE MAIN CIRCUIT

BREAKER ON THE UNIT AND USE EXTRA CARE WHEN
REMOVING OR INSTALLING A CIRCUIT BOARD.
1. The Card Rack
A. The circuit boards in the card rack are designed using a common bus.
This means that they can plugged into any one of the six (6) slots in the
card rack.
B. Each circuit board edge connector is off set so that the board cannot be
installed up-side down.
C. Use the plastic levers mounted on the front corners of each board to
assist in the removal of the circuit board.
2. The Inverters
A. Circuit Board Removal
(1) To replace the inverter assembly you must first disconnect the 9
pin D connector and the two power supply connectors from the
IGBT drive board.
(2) Remove the three large screws from the center of the IGBT drive
board and remove the IGBT drive board.
B. Power IGBT Removal
Remove the four screws holding the power IGBT in place and by carefully
prying the + and - bus bars away, slide the IGBT off to the side and out.
August 2005 4-4

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
C. IGBT Installation
(1) First ensure that the mounting surface on the heatsink is clean and
free of all dirt and grit.
(2) Next wipe off the bottom of the new IGBT.
(3) Remove the paper backing from the heat transfer pad and place it
between the IGBT and the heatsink.
(4) Mount the IGBT using the four corner mounting screws. The
screws must be tightened gradually to insure the IGBT is seated
properly.
(5) Use a torque wrench and insure each screw is torqued to 26

inch/pounds.
D. IGBT Drive Board Installation
(1) First install insulator sheet on to IGBT Drive Board then install a
IGBT drive board, carefully place the drive board assembly against
the power IGBT insuring that the small spade connectors on the
board are properly mated to the IGBT.
(2) Insure the output cable going to summing transformers is placed in

its proper position between the feedback board and the C2E1 (left)
terminal of the IGBT.
(3) Screw the drive board assembly onto the power IGBT using the
three large screws. Use a torque wrench and insure each screw is
torqued to 26 inch/pounds.
(4) To complete the installation, reconnect the power supply

connectors and the 9 pin D connector.
4-4 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
E. In some cases the power IGBT package may actually explode and in so
doing cause physical damage to other components within the Jetpower
converter.
If you suspect additional damage may have been done, use the following
procedure after replacing the IGBT.
(1) Insure the input power to the converter is off.
(2) Unplug connector on SCR Ramp Board.
(3) Turn the auto/manual switch on the bottom of the Logic board to
the MANUAL (down) position.
(4) Turn the output voltage adjust potentiometer all the way
counterclockwise.
(5) Turn the bypass switch on the front of the logic board to the
bypass ON (up) position.
(6) Turn the input power circuit breaker on.
(7) Verify that all three (3) LED's on the power supply board are on.
•CAUTION: Be extremely careful to not remove or install a

circuit board with the main input power on.
(8) With the input power applied, verify that none of the green LED's
on the IGBT drive boards are on.
(a) If one or more of the green IGBT drive board LED's are on,
remove the 9 pin "D" connector from the edge of the board
and swap it with a cable from a board who's LED is not on.
(b) If the problem (the green LED on with no input signal)

remains with the board, replace both the drive board and
the IGBT.
August 2005 4-4

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
(c) If the problem follows the cable, remove the hood

(backshell) from the 9 pin "D" connector and check for loose
or broken wires.
(d) If no problem is found with the cable, replace the 24 phase

board.
(9) Press the start push button and verify that all the green LED's on
the IGBT drive boards are on steady.
(a) If one or more of the green IGBT drive board LED's are not
on, remove the 9 pin "D" connector from the edge of the
board and swap it with a cable from a board who's LED is
on.
(b) If the problem (the green LED is not on) remains with the
board, replace both the drive board and the IGBT.
(c) If the problem follows the cable, remove the hood

(backshell) from the 9 pin "D" connector and check for loose
or broken wires.
(d) If no problem is found with the cable, replace the 24 phase

board.
(10) Depress the stop push button and turn off the input power.
(11) Plug in cable to SCR Ramp Board.
(12) Turn the input power back on.
(13) Return the auto/manual switch on the top of the voltage control
board to the auto (up) position.
(14) Set the output voltage adjust potentiometer to approximately it's

mid range.
(15) Depress the start push button.
4-4 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
(16) Adjust the output voltage adjust potentiometer until the output
voltage reads approximately 115 volts or 575 volts for 575 volt unit
on the digital panel meter.
3. The Output Cable
A. Checking the Output Cable
Problems with a 400Hz output cable can be of several types and are
usually caused by the miss-use of the cable.
(1) Shorted Conductors
To check for a shorted output cable, first turn the output voltage
control potentiometer all the way counter clockwise and then
switch the converter to MANUAL output voltage control using the
toggle switch located on the bottom of the 24 Phase board. Now
start the unit and bring the output voltage up slowly while
monitoring the output current. A rapid rise in output current with
no load applied to the unit indicates a shorted output cable.
(2) Open Conductors
An open conductor will result in the absence of one or more of the

output phases at the aircraft plug.
First, insure that the converter is operating correctly by measuring

all three phases at the output terminal block in the converter.
Now measure the voltages at the end of the cable to verify that one
or more line is open.
August 2005 4-4

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
(3) The 28v Return Lines (E & F)
If the cable head is inadvertently left laying on the apron, it may be

run over by a vehicle.
A common result is to have the E or F lines be either broken or

shorted to one of the 400Hz phases resulting in further damage to
the converter.
B. Replacing the Output Cable
(1) Ordering a New Cable
New cables or replacement heads may be ordered directly from

Jetway Systems.
The cables come complete with an aircraft plug on one end and
3/8 inch terminal lugs on the other end with the individual wires
marked Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, neutral, E and F.
(2) Installation
Insure that the connections made to the converters output terminal

block are tight and that the correct phase rotation has been
observed.

Section 1: Contactor Control Unit
These instructions provide the installation and maintenance instructions for the FMC
Airport Systems Jetway Contactor Control Unit.
In order to use this information effectively, you must be familiar with basic electronic
terms and concepts and be able to operate the required test equipment.
1. The Contactor Control Unit
A. Description
This is only used on 115 volt output units.
The Contactor Control Unit is a compact assembly designed to control

the delivery of 120/208 volts, 400 Hz power to a modern aircraft.
The unit consists of a 3 pole, single throw contactor, a printed circuit

board, three (3) current transformers and a mounting base.
B. General Application
One Contactor Control Unit is required for each aircraft ground power
cable used. Multiple units may be used with a single power source such
as a Jetpower® 2 or a Jetpower® Plus converter.
C. The Contactor
The contactor used in the Contactor Control Unit will handle power (kVA)
loads in excess of its rated load.
The overload capacity of the contactor is dependent on the amount of

overload and the length of time it is drawn through the contactor.

A. Contactor Ratings
(1) The 3 pole, single throw contactor is rated for a maximum

continuous current of 350 Amperes.
(2) The contactor is rated for a maximum continuous voltage of

135/234 VAC.
B. Power Requirements
(1) Electronic Circuits
(a) DC Power Requirements
The electronic circuits used in the Contactor Control Unit

use a DC voltage of between 20 and 30 Volts with a
maximum current draw of 0.3 Amperes.
(b) DC Power Source
This DC voltage is derived from a power supply in the 400

Hz ground power unit.
(2) Contactor Coil
(a) Voltage Requirements
The coil of the contactor used in the Contactor Control Unit

requires a voltage of between 100 and 120 volts DC.

is 24 VDC. The maximum current available is 0.08 amperes.
(3) Fault Indications
5 LED's are used to indicate faults. The only faults that will occur
with the contactor control board is a loss of 28v from the aircraft
and an overload. A loss of 28v from the aircraft will cause the
external lamp to blink off and on at a rate of once every 1 to 2
seconds. An overload will cause the lamp to blink 2 to 3 times
every second.

Both faults can be reset by pushing the stop button. An overload

fault will have a small time delay of 30 seconds or more before it
can be reset. This allows the Jetpower to cool some.
3. Safety
A. Personnel
Only qualified electrical and electronic personnel should install and

maintain this equipment. These people should read the instructions in
this manual before doing any work on the FMC Airport Systems Jetway
Contactor Control Unit. Close attention must be paid to all warnings and
cautions.
B. Jewelry
High voltage is usually present on the Contactor Control Unit. Do not

wear watches, rings or other jewelry while working on this equipment.
Only qualified personnel should perform any internal adjustments or
component replacements.
C. Wiring
All wiring is in accordance with the National Electrical Code and is

consistent with all local codes. All internal electrical connections between
components are made at the factory.
4. Power Requirements
A. Contactor Excitation
(1) Voltage
The contactor used in the Contactor Control Unit requires an

excitation voltage of between 100 and 120 volts. This voltage must
be DC.
5-1 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
(2) Current
A peak (maximum) current of one (1) ampere for one (1) second is
required. Normal contactor excitation current is 0.2 amps.
(3) Source
The contactor normally is wired to draw this power from phase C of

the 400 Hz voltage.
(3) Contactor Control Board
(a) Voltage
The contactor control board mounted on the contactor

requires a DC voltage of between 20 and 30 volts.
This DC voltage is also used for the start/stop switches and

to provide the start/stop signals that are sent to the
Jetpower.
(b) Current
The contactor control board will require approximately 0.2

amps.
The external indicating lamps will require an additional 0.1

amps.
The Contactor Control Unit's total maximum DC current

draw will therefore be approximately 0.3 amps.
August 2005 5-1

(d) Auxiliary Connector (J1)
When a single 400Hz power source is used to supply more

than one aircraft location, a separate Contactor Control Unit
is necessary to control each of the output lines.
In these situation one source of DC power can be daisy

chained between all the Contactor Control Units.
The FMC Airport Systems Jetway Contactor Control Units

are designed so that up to six (6) units can be connected
together.
The interconnecting cable goes from J1 of the BCU nearest

the DC power supply to J0 of the next one.
5. Start/Stop Controls
A. The start/stop controls are wired to J3 terminal block. This is a pluggable

connector so easy removal of the board can be accomplished.
B. The J3 connector contains eight (8) terminals that allow for the
connection of two separate start/stop push buttons switches and two
separate “ON” lights.
C. When mounted in a Jetpower 2 one set is wired to the door mounted

switched and one set is wired to the expander board which is located in
the output compartment. The expander board allows for external
connections such as start/stop buttons in the cable head or other
remotely located controls. If no external controls are installed then the
stop connections must be jumpered on the expander board.
D. Either start and stop switch will operate the Jetpower. If a stop switch is
pushed it will have priority over a start switch.
E. The start switch is a normally open push button switch. The stop switch
is a normally closed push button.
August 2005 5-1

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
6. Adjustments
A. A small switch is mounted on the top edge of the board. This switch is
the bypass or test switch. The normal position of this switch is in the
NORMAL position. When the Jetpower is being tested and 28v is not
available on the EF lines then the switch can be toggled to the bypass
position which tells the board to operate without 28v being returned. The
small 3 pin connector J5, mounted next to the connector, is connected to
the switch lines so that another switch can be remotely located.
B. There are no other adjustments to be made on the board. One small

potentiometer located on the board is factory set for calibration of the 90
kVA overload setting.
7. Indicators
One green LED is mounted on the board. This indicated that the board is
powered.
8. Fuses
There are two fuses used on the board. They are both rated for .5 amps. One is
in the 28 volt EF feedback line. This fuse protects the board from major
overvoltages. The other fuse is in the contactor coil line. This fuse is to protect
the board if the contactor has a shorted coil. There is one spare fuse mounted
on the board.
5-1 August 2005

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
9. Operation
A. The board generates a start and stop command for the Jetpower when
the switches are pushed. When two or more boards are installed there is
a cable for J1 of the first one to J0 of the second one. This kind of
connection continues to the last board on the chain. The last board must
have a jumper installed between pin 1 and 3 of J1. This jumpers out the
stop command from any other boards. The board uses two signals that
are labeled “ON IN” and “ON OUT”. These signals are connected to the
adjacent boards to tell them whether they are operating. This is so that if
two boards are both started and then one is stopped the Jetpower will not
be stopped until the last board is stopped.
B. When the start button is pushed the Jetpower will start if it is not already
operating. The contactor will close but will not stay closed unless 28v is
received from the EF lines.
C. If the 28v is not returned the contactor will open when the finger is
removed from the push button and the run lamp will blink at a rate of 1 to
2 seconds between flashes.
D. If an overload occurs, which is from excessive current, then the contactor

will open and the run lamp will blink at a rate of 2 flashes per second.
E. When a 28v or overload fault occurs the contactor opens but the
Jetpower will continue to operate. The unit must be operated this way or
the Contactor Control Board could erase a fault code from the Jetpower if
the Jetpower had a fault.

Section 2: Jetpower Plus PWM Parallel Option
1. Installation and Operation
A. Installation Setup
The parallel system for the Jetpower Plus PWM 400 Hz inverters is easily
installed on the units. It is necessary to have a Parallel board installed
before the Jetpower can be operated in parallel.
(1) The first thing to do is check that there is a separate ground wire
that connects the two Jetpower enclosures together. This is
necessary to ensure that the grounds are at the same potential.
(2) Next, check that the 3 position connector, P3, is plugged into the
Parallel board.
(3) The next thing to check is the RG-59 cable. This is a cable that
goes from unit 1 to unit 2 and from unit 2 to unit 3 and so on. The
last unit is then wired back to unit 1 so that a complete loop is
formed. The cable that goes from unit 1 to unit 2 should be labeled
COAX 1 and should be connected to the SIGNAL OUT connector
(the top BNC connector on the Parallel board) on unit 1 and the
SIGNAL IN connector (the bottom BNC connector on the Parallel
board) on unit 2. If there is a third Jetpower then install it in a
similar manner. Connect the last unit back to unit 1 the same way.
(4) This completes the wiring connections. If all the wiring is installed
as described then you can proceed to the operation setup.
B. Operation Setup
If each Jetpower has not been assigned a number yet then do that at this
time. This number will become the priority number if there are 3 or more
Jetpowers paralleled. The number 1 unit will be the master unit if another
unit was the master and it shuts down. If unit 1 was the master and it
shuts down then number 2 will become the master. The highest priority
unit left running will become the master if the master shuts down.
August 2005 5-2

JETWAY
Jetpower Plus PWM
1. Installation and Operation (Continued)
(1) To assign this priority number it is necessary to pull the Parallel

board from the card rack and set the DIP switch (SW1) on the
board. With the fingers of the board (the part that plugs into the
Mother board) down and the components facing you locate the
DIP switch on the left side of the board. The unit number is set on
this switch. Unit 1 should have the left most switch ON and all
others OFF. Unit number 2 should have the second switch from the
left ON and all others OFF. All other units should be set in the
same manner. If there are only two Jetpowers then both of the
Jetpowers can be set to the number 1 position.
(2) Toggle the small MAINT SWITCH (SW2) on the Parallel boards
down. This will allow the Jetpower to operate without being
paralleled. The output contactor will not close when the switch is
down.
(3) Go through the normal start up procedure for unit 1. After the start
up has been done the paralleled system can be checked. With
input power applied and the unit running the RECEIVING SIGNAL
LED on the Parallel Board should be off. The MASTER LED should
be off. Push the STOP button and toggle the MAINT SWITCH up.
Now restart the Jetpower. After 5 seconds the output contactor will
close. With the unit now running both the RECEIVING SIGNAL
LED and the MASTER LED should be on. If the RECEIVING
SIGNAL LED is not on the coax loop is not installed properly and
the output contactor will not close. When unit 1 is finished with
testing shut it down and repeat the same procedure for each of the
other units.
(4) After all of the units have been tested and the output voltages set
to proper levels they can be paralleled. Toggle the MAINT SWITCH
up on each of the units. Apply input power to the units. Start unit 1.
The contactor should close after 5 seconds. The MASTER LED and
RECEIVING SIGNAL LED should be on.

Jetpower Plus PWM
1. Installation and Operation (Continued)
(5) Look at unit 2. The MASTER LED should be off. The RECEIVING
SIGNAL LED should be on. Start unit 2. It should come up to
voltage and after 5 seconds the contactor should close. The units
are now paralleled. If there are more units repeat the same
procedure.
(6) After all the units are on and paralleled, push the stop button on
unit 1. It should shut down and unit 2 should become the master.
The MASTER LED on unit 2 should come on. The MASTER LED on
unit 1 should be off. Restart unit 1. After 5 seconds the contactor
should close and it will be paralleled with the other units. Unit
number 2 will remain the master until it is shut down.
This completes the paralleled setup.

Section 3: Jetpower Plus PWM 12 Step Option
1. The Jetpower Plus PWM 12 step option is designed so that the Jetpower
produces lower input current harmonic distortion. The standard 12 step option
will reduce the input current harmonic distortion to 10% or less. An optional filter
can be added to this to reduce the input current harmonic distortion to 6% or
less.
2. The addition of the 12 step option does not have any effect on the output 400Hz.
All specifications remain the same with the operation of the unit other than that
mentioned above. The control and operation of the Jetpower remain the same.
3. The enclosure of the unit is enlarged to accommodate the 12 step transformer.

The dimensions are 48 inches wide by 36 inches front to back. All input and
output power connections are the same.
4. The option consists of an input transformer and the addition of 3 more input
rectifiers. The transformer mounts in the additional enclosure piece. The
rectifiers mount on the same heatsink as the original rectifiers so that 6 rectifiers
are now mounted to this heatsink.
5. The drawing in this section shows the optional input inductor. When this is not
installed the inductor inputs are connected to the inductor outputs.
