Aerospace series - Characteristics of aircraft electrical supplies

This standard specifies the characteristics of electrical power supplied to the terminals of equipment installed in the aircraft. It also defines the supply systems and compatibility requirements for equipment together with the special systems with constant and variable frequency. This standard applies to a.c. and d.c. on-board or ground systems.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Eigenschaften der elektrischen Stromversorgung von Luftfahrzeugen

Diese Norm legt die Eigenschaften der elektrischen Energie fest, die den Anschlüssen von Verbrauchern an Bord von Luftfahrzeugen zugeführt wird. Darüber hinaus legt sie die Bordnetze und die Verträglichkeitsanforderungen an die Verbraucher sowie die Sonderbordnetze mit geregelter und ungeregelter Frequenz fest. Diese Norm gilt für Wechselstrom- und Gleichstrombordnetze bei Bord- und Bodenbetrieb.

Série aérospatiale - Caractérististiques de l'alimentation électrique des aéronefs

La présente norme spécifie les caractéristiques que doit avoir l'énergie électrique fournie aux bornes des équipements montés à bord des aéronefs. De plus, elle définit les réseaux d'alimentation et les exigences de compatibilité que doivent avoir les équipements ainsi que les réseaux spéciaux à fréquence fixe et variable. Cette norme s'applique aux réseaux alternatifs et à courant de bord ou de terrain.

Overview

EN 2282:1992 - "Aerospace series - Characteristics of aircraft electrical supplies" (published by CEN) specifies the electrical power characteristics delivered to the terminals of equipment installed in aircraft. The standard defines the types of supply systems, compatibility requirements for on-board equipment, and covers special systems with constant and variable frequency. It applies to both a.c. and d.c. on-board and ground systems, providing a common reference for designers, manufacturers and maintenance organizations.

Key Topics

The standard addresses practical electrical-power parameters and compatibility issues without prescribing implementation details. Major technical topics include:

  • Electrical supply types - classification of AC and DC systems used in aircraft and associated supply definitions.
  • Compatibility requirements - requirements that equipment must meet to operate reliably on specified aircraft power systems.
  • Constant and variable frequency systems - behaviour and considerations for fixed-frequency and variable-frequency AC systems.
  • Terminal characteristics - properties of the power presented at equipment connection points (voltage, waveform quality, frequency stability, etc.) as they affect equipment performance.
  • On-board and ground interface - considerations for equipment that may connect to aircraft or ground power supplies, ensuring safe and compatible operation.
  • Power quality and disturbances - how the standard frames acceptable conditions for transients, dips, and other deviations (general concepts rather than numerical limits).

Applications

EN 2282 is used throughout the aviation lifecycle for:

  • Aircraft and avionics design - defining power-system requirements and ensuring equipment compatibility.
  • Component and equipment specification - suppliers referencing power characteristics when designing electronics and power converters.
  • Integration and installation - systems engineering to match equipment to aircraft power supplies (on-board or ground).
  • Testing and verification - establishing test conditions to verify that equipment tolerates expected supply characteristics.
  • Maintenance and ground support - guidance for ground power units and troubleshooting power-related faults.

Who Uses This Standard

  • Aircraft manufacturers and systems integrators
  • Avionics and electrical equipment designers and suppliers
  • Certification and regulatory bodies involved in aircraft electrical systems
  • Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations
  • Ground power unit (GPU) and test facility designers

Related Standards

While EN 2282 focuses on supply characteristics and compatibility, it is typically used alongside standards covering specific equipment, connectors, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and installation practices in aerospace.
