Avionics Electronics Power Input Pre-Compliance Testing
This solution brief presents a streamlined approach to testing aircraft electronics against RTCA DO-160 Section 16 and MIL-STD-704 power-input requirements before formal certification. The Keysight AC6900 Series three-phase AC source supports 3 to 18 kVA, AC output up to 320 Vrms, DC output up to 452 V, and frequencies to 5 kHz. Its built-in sequencer reproduces interruptions, transients, and abnormal power conditions, while the harmonics analyzer measures voltage and current through the 50th harmonic. PathWave Avionics Test Suite automates instrument control, executes configurable civilian and military test plans, and generates documentation-ready reports. The solution helps identify failures earlier, reduce specialized setup effort, and improve certification readiness.
