3.6 Input Power Specifications

Program management needs to be aware of the
tradeoffs involved in specifying input power
so that system requirements can be met without
placing an excessive burden upon the power
supply. There has been a trend to require
individual equipment to operate from a large
variety of power sources. This has increased
the complexity of the design, making the
objectives of increased output power density
and reliability more difficult to achieve while
dissipating investment monies and highly
skilled manpower resources.

The following section discusses the tradeoffs
involved from the viewpoints of the provider
of electrical power and the user of electrical
power. Shipboard only, aircraft only, single-
and multi-platform considerations and
noninterruptible power are discussed.
