Title Section Figure Page
Section 1: Handling
1. Weight
The Jetpower Plus PWM power converters are shipped fully boxed and are
designed to be moved with a fork lift.
2. Storage
The Jetpower Plus PWM power conversion units are designed for use in an
outdoor environment but only with a properly designed and built weather cover.
When a power conversion unit is received in its crate, it should be stored
indoors or with an adequate cover.
The unit will maintain the capability of operating within the specifications herein
after storage of up to seven years when properly preserved, packaged and
protected.
3. Uncrating
When ready to install the unit, carefully remove the shipping crate and inspect
the unit. Notify FMC Airport Systems Jetway immediately of any equipment
damage or missing parts.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 4: Wiring
Jetpower Plus PWM units have many different wiring options. Input options include
Terminal Block or Circuit Breaker. Output options include: Output contactors (Dual and
Triple), Terminal Block, or Parallel Output. The Diagram in this section shows a
Terminal Block - Terminal Block Configuration. For diagrams specific to your
configuration please reference Chapter 5 - Options in this manual.

Jetpower Plus PWM
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.
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
(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.
(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.
4. S/A Relays
For the convenience of the user, Jetway Systems has provided a means of
monitoring the Jetpower Plus PWM. This is accomplished through the use of
relay contacts.
A. Relay Contacts
The contacts from these relays are available on terminal block, TB-M.
Listed below are the terminals and corresponding relay functions as they
appear on terminal block M.
TB-M Function
125 S relay - normally open
126 S relay - common (wiper)
127 S relay - normally closed
128 A relay - normally closed
129 A relay - common (wiper)
130 A relay - normally open
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.
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.
1. Lights
There are three lights mounted on the front of each Jetpower Plus PWM
converter case which indicate the following:
2. Indicator LED’s
Each Jetpower Plus PWM converter contains the following indicator LED’s to
assist monitoring its operation.
Each IGBT drive board contains two green LED’s that light when the
output IGBT modules are receiving a drive signal.
(2) The logic board also contains two (2) eight segment LED’s.
3. The digital panel meter is controlled by the keypad on the outside of the
Jetpower cabinet. This keypad allows the operator to select various voltage or
current readings on the digital panel meter. These readings will remain
displayed for approximately 15 seconds and then the meter returns to the
average output voltage reading.
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
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).
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.
A. Method #1
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
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.
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
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.
4. Check for the correct input voltages using the digital panel meter.
7. Energize the converter by depressing the start button and verify the green light
(marked “POWER TO A/C PLUG”) illuminates.
8. Check the output voltage on the digital panel meter - set to 115v or 575v for 575
volt unit using the output voltage adjust potentiometer.
12. On a paralleled system, switch the maintenance switch on the parallel board
back to the normal position.
15. Verify the operation of the distribution system or the line drop compensator
system.

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.
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.
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.
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.

2. Logic 3 PWM Board DIP Switch Instructions (115v and 575v Boards)
A. The PWM Logic Board has an 8 position DIP switch, sw3 (see figure 2).
This DIP switch is used to set the board for input voltage settings and kVa
size settings.

Figure 2
(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.
Section 1: Introduction
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.
E. The 4RST switch setting should be left in the OFF position. This is used
for special applications only.
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.
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
(b) If there are output cables, check for proper E and F safety
interlock wiring.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
(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.
(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.
(b) Carefully check the three (3) connectors plugged into the
BITE board.
(c) Carefully check the two (2) connectors plugged into the
Logic board.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.)
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
Indication Fault
Section 2: Troubleshooting
4. Troubleshooting Tips
(1) This section receives the incoming volts AC and changes it to DC.
It contains three (3) high current dual SCRs which are used as a
switched rectifier to put the DC on the bus.
(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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
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.
(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.
(1) The output transformers receive the pulses from the inverter
sections and combine them to form the output waveforms.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
(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.
This section consists of the Logic board, the stop/start push buttons and
the IV sense 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.
Section 2: Troubleshooting
The IV Sense board monitors the output voltages and currents and
sends samples back to the 24 Phase board and the BITE 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.
(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.

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
(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.
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.
C. IGBT Installation
(1) First ensure that the mounting surface on the heatsink is clean and
free of all dirt and grit.
(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.
(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.
(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.
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.
(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.
(7) Verify that all three (3) LED's on the power supply board are 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.
(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.
(10) Depress the stop push button and turn off the input power.
(13) Return the auto/manual switch on the top of the voltage control
board to the auto (up) position.
(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.
Problems with a 400Hz output cable can be of several types and are
usually caused by the miss-use of the cable.
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.
Now measure the voltages at the end of the cable to verify that one
or more line is open.
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.

5. Start/Stop Controls
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Jetpower Plus PWM
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.
(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.
(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.

Jetpower Plus PWM
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.
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
