CHAPTER 1 DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION

1. General
The Transformer-Recti fi er, her eafter referr ed to as a T-R, is a compact, encl os ed, power -s uppl y unit
e m pl oyi ng a transformer and s e mi c onductor di ode c o mpon ents to convert 200-Vol t, 400-Hz input to
28.5-Vol t DC output power (s ee Fi gure 1). It has many us es including aircraft s ervicing, whic h may
requir e hi gh c urrent output for short peri ods of ti me, and c onstant duty power s uppl y appli c ati ons
whic h requir e a regul ated v ol tage output at a lesser cur rent rate.

2. Transformer-Rectifier Assembly
The T-R c onsi sts of six mai n ass embli es pl us si de panel s and top, whic h m ak e up the w e ather pr oof
encl osur e. Termi nal boar ds, cabl es, and other misc ell aneous items c ompl ete the ass embly. Mai n
ass em bli es are i dentifi ed as foll ows:

Tra n s f ormer

Pa ne l Front

Base

T o p H e a t Sink

C over Te r m i nal

For pur pos es of orientati on, the c ontrol panel is c onsi der ed to be at the F R O N T of the T-R. The l oad
c ontactor is at the front and the fans ar e at the R E A R . R IG H T and L E F T ar e determi ned by observi ng
the uni t from a positi on at the R E A R . Thus the output ter mi nal s are on the LE F T si de.

The T-R is desi gned to c onv ert the output of a 115/200-Vol t AC, 400-Hz, 3- phase gen er ator to
regulated 28.5-V ol t DC, primaril y for operation and/or testing of aircraft on-boar d elect ric al equipment.
AC i nput v ol tage is r educed by a transformer assembl y and c han ged to DC by a 24-di ode rectifi er
identi fi ed as a heat si nk as s embly . The uni t rati ng is 1500 A m per es. Refer to Figure 2 for
s pecificati ons and c apabiliti es.

Output v oltage is adj ustabl e and c ontroll ed by a s oli d-st ate, li ne- dr op and c urrent-limiti ng m odul e.
Output c urrent i s al s o adjus tabl e, and i s c ontrolled by the s am e m odul e, howev er thes e c apabiliti es are
possi bl e only whe n the T-R is c onnec ted to a Hobart gener ator s et. The l atter c apa bility all ows the
operator to adjust output current to as littl e as 700 Amperes when required for s oft-starting an aircraft ,
or other limited c urrent applic ati ons.

S oli d state current and voltage s ensing modules serv e to protect the T-R and aircraft by disconnecti ng
the l oad under condi ti ons of ov erl oad and/or under v oltage. Thermostati c s wi tches provi de protecti on
agai ns t over heati ng. Two 200- V ol t AC, motor-dri v en fans provide c ooli ng for i nter nal c ompo nents.
Air is dra w n i n over the heat si nks and discharged at the r ear.

El ectrical compo nents of the T-R, other than the control panel whic h was des cri bed above, are
illustrated i n Figures 4 through 6. A brief description of the function of eac h component i s given
here. Theory of operation will be covered i n the description wher e necessary.

(1) Loa d C ontactor

The l oad c ontactor (5, Fig. 4) is a s eal ed uni t similar to the one used on a Hob ar t generator
s et. It c ontai ns four s ets of c ontacts and an operati ng coil. The thr ee l arger s ets of c ontacts
c onduc t the i nput pow er to the trans for mer. A s m all , auxiliary s et is c onnec ted i n the 115- V ol t
input hol di ng cir c ui t to the rec tifi er (17, Fi g. 3), whi c h s uppli es direc t c urrent for energizati on of
the l oad c ontactor operati ng c oil . In oper ati on, the l oad c ontactor is clos ed by holdi ng the
c ontac tor c ontrol s witc h (8, Fig. 3) in s pri ng-l oaded O N (up) positi on mo mentarily . In this
positi on the s witc h connec ts 115-V olt A C power direc tly to the recti fi er (17, Fig. 3), whi c h i n
turn s uppli es DC power to the c ontactor oper ati ng c oil and cl oses all c ontacts i n the l oad
c ontactor. W hen the c ontrol s witc h (8, Fig. 3) is rel eas ed, it auto matic all y returns to c enter ON
positi on and 115- V ol t c urrent is mai ntai ned to the rec tifier , i ndirec tly, throug h a resistor (15,
Fi g. 3) and the auxili ary c ontacts i n the l oad c ontac tor. Thi s cir c ui t is arrang ed i n such a
man ner that i n case an ov erl oaded c onditi on devel ops , the 115-V olt i nput to the rectifi er is lead
dir ectly to ground thr ough a r el ay in the ov erload mo dul e. The l oad c ontactor is thus opene d
becaus e the holdi ng circ ui t has ac tually been s hort-circ ui ted. The resis tor (15, Fi g. 3) limits
c urrent fl ow i n the holdi ng cir c ui t to 0.5 A mpere and thus prev ents damage to any
compo nents.

(2) Transformer

The primary coils of the transformer ( 6, Fig. 4) consi st of three s ets of doubl e wi ndi ngs. There
ar e 12 secondary wi ndi ngs, 6 c onnected i n wy e, and 6 conn ected i n del ta. Normal i nput
v oltage is 200 V ol ts A C and normal output before bei ng rectifi ed is approxi mately 21 Vol ts DC.
Output voltage of the transfor m er (and the T-R) is determined and c ontrolled by adj usti ng
input v oltage to the transformer.

(3) H e a t S i n k A s s e m b l y

The heat si nk as s embl y c onsists of two heat si nk s ubas s embli es ( 2 and 7, Fi g. 4) mounte d
on two cross me mber s upports and attached by brackets and Hx Hd SF-Tap scr ews.
Obs erved from the rear of the T-R, the positiv e heat si nk is on the RIG H T and the negati v e
on the L E FT.

E ac h heat si nk s ubas s embl y c onsists of a fan, a ther mostatic s witch, 12 di odes , and the heat si nk
whic h i s a s ecti on of multi-fi nned, al umi nu m extr usi on, 25 i nches (635 mm) l ong. The fan assembl y
(10, Fi g. 4) is mounted on the r ear of the heat si nk. A five-bl ade, 4-1/4-i nch (108 m m) di a. fan dr aws
cooling ai r ov er the di odes at a r ate of 190 c ubic feet per mi nute at 5300 RPM. The fan motor is rated
at 200 V ol ts AC, 400 Hz. Input power is 33 Watts, 0.3 Ampere. The thermostatic switch ( 1, Fig. 4)
m o unted on the front end of the heat si nk, perfor ms a functi on simil ar to an ov erl oad rel ay. The s witch
causes the l oad c ontactor to OP E N by i nterrupti ng the contac tor hol di ng circ ui t when an overl oad ( or
other faul t) condi ti on causes am bi ent temper atur e to ris e to appr oxi mately 230 Deg. F (110 Deg. C).
The s wi tc h cl os es at approximatel y 210 Deg. F (99 Deg. C).
Two hexagon bars (11, Fi g. 6), thr ead e d at eac h end, serve as bus bars to conduct c urrent fro m the
positiv e (ri ght) heat si nk to the positi v e ter mi nal on the l eft si de of the T-R. The bars pass thr ough
hol es i n the negati v e heat si nk and ar e pr otected from s hor ti ng by scr ew - m ounted, i nsul ati ng pl ates.
Bars are thr eaded i nto the positi v e heat si nk body and further s ecur ed by al umi nu m nuts. Two
alumi n u m nuts on the l eft end of the forward bar are us ed to attach one of the l eads to the DC
ammeter. The other ammeter l ead is attac hed to the s a m e bar on the other si de of the negati v e heat
si nk by a s crew. The porti on of the bar betwe en the l ead attac hi ng poi nts serv es as a shunt for the
ammeter. The shunt is adj ustabl e by c han gi ng the l ocati on of the two al u mi nu m nuts.
Two hexagon bars ( 4, Fig. 6) similar to the positi v e bars, but s horter , are attached to the negati v e heat
si nk i n the s ame mann er as the positiv e bars. They c onduct curr ent to the neg ati v e output ter mi nal .
E ac h di ode i s attached to the heat si nk by an as s embl ed washer nut.

(4) Overload module

The ov erload mod ul e (20, Fi g. 3) c ontai ns s oli d state circuitry which i nterprets si gnals from three
current transformers ( 11, Fi g. 4) and func ti ons to cl os e a rel ay whe n an ov er-l oad c onditi on i s
detec ted i n the T-R m ai n circ uit. The normally open rel ay c ontac ts are c onnec ted to the l oad
contactor 115-V olt A C holdi ng circui t s o that whe n rel ay contac ts are cl os ed by an ov erload condi ti on,
the l oad c ontactor hol di ng cir c uit i s s hort-circ uited and the l oad c ontactor opens for l ack of hol di ng
power. T-R output power is thus automatic ally disc onn ec ted. Rel ay c ontacts return to normally open
positi on when the overl oad is r emov ed by l oad c ontactor hol di ng circ ui t when it is s hort-cir c uited. DC
power fro m the generator’s engi ne circuit pr ovi des operati ng power for the overl oad rel ay: 12 V olts
DC is requir ed for par t numb er 487750-1. Thi s circ ui t is pr otec ted by a 2- A mpere fus e (10). The l oad
c ontac tor 11-Vol t operati ng ci rcui t is pr otected by another 2-Ampere fuse (11).

(5) Overvoltage module

The ov ervol tage m odul e ( 19, Fi g. 3) is another pr otective devic e wi th s olid s tate circuitry whi c h causes
a normally C L OS E D relay to O P E N under a condi ti on of overvoltage i n the T-R output circ ui t. The
r el ay is connected i n the gr ound cir c ui t of the 115-V ol t A C l oad contac tor holdi ng circ ui t. When an
ov ervoltage c onditi on c auses the r el ay to O P E N , the l oad c ontac tor hol di ng circuit i s br ok en and the
c ontac tor opens autom aticall y to s hut off the T-R.

(6) Base

The T-R base consis ts of a metal pl ate m ounted on (4) spac ers. Four 3/8-16 tapp ed m ounti ng hol es
in the bas e (spacers) ar e l ocated 16 i nches by 24-1/8 i nches (406mm by 613mm), c enter to c enter.
