Preface
Training has misinterpreted by most of us as a platform for project performation
. Industrial training in true sense has been included in curriculum to make the
student well versed with the technical procedure of various industries, the basi
c criteria for management of various resources in a company or industry.
The educational institution sole aim by industrial training is to improve the te
chnical knowledge and to have a hand on experienced to make them realistic in th
inking, to understand the procedure for manufacturing keeping mind the minute de
tail which will benefit the customer like no learning is proper without implemen
tation.
Doctors, Lawyers, hotel management student surely hold a upper hand. Its because
right from the second year of their graduation the are made to face the world a
nd their problems with a tender mind. In due course of time slowly but steadily
they, develop a competitive attitude and have a definite plan and aim as they co
mplete their graduation.
Unlike the pitiable engineers like us who are completely isolated from industry.
Therefore their should be industry institutions made compulsory for every engin
eering institutes.

(HAL FOUNDER)
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has blossomed into a major player in the global av
iation arena, and today is among the elite Navratna companies. The history of In
dian aircraft industry can be traced to the foundation of Hindustan Aircraft Lim
ited at Bangalore in December 1940 in association with the erstwhile princely st
ate of Mysore and late Shri Seth Walchand Hirachand, an industrialist of extra-o
rdinary vision. Govt. of India became one of its shareholders in March 1941 and
took over the management in 1942. Hindustan Aircraft Limited was merged with Aer
onautics India Limited and Aircraft Manufacturing Department Kanpur to form HAL
on 1-october-1964. Today HAL has got 18 production divisions & 9 research & desi
gn centers spread out in 7 different locations in India. Its product track recor
d consists of 12 types of aircraft from in house R & D and 13 types by license p
roduction. HAL has so far produced about 3352 aircraft (which include 11 type of
indigenous design), 3583 engines & overhauled over 8141aircraft & 27267 engines
. HAL has engaged & succeeded in number of R & D programs for both the military
and civil aviation sectors. Substantial progress has been made in the current pr
oject like Dhruv ±Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), Tejas-Light Combat Aircraft (LC
A), Intermediate Jet Trainer (IJT) &

various military and civil upgrades. The deliveries of Dhruv were affected to In
dian Army, Navy, Air force & Cost Guards in March 2002, in its first year of pro
duction which is a unique achievement. The Government of India decided to set up
a factory Lucknow Division in 1969 to undertake License manufacture of accessor
ies and instrument for Hindustan Fighter HF-24 and Hindustan jet trainers HJT-16
, aircrafts. The factory building is ready by October 1973 and full fledged manu
facturing of the accessories to cover Ajeet,MIG-BIS Aircrafts, aero engines and
Helicopters. HAL Accessories Division Lucknow was established in 1970 with prima
ry objective of manufacturing systems and accessories for varies aircrafts and e

INTRODUTION ±
DC Master Box is a part of dc power generation and distribution system for re-en
gine Cheetah Helicopter. It is designed for use with an independent starter/gene
rator mounted on the engine accessories gearbox, and is interfaced with GCPU, ba
ttery, and external power source and control panel of DC power generator to the
loads through its main bus. In the event of failure of starter/generator, the dc
master box will activated the battery contactor, through which the on-board sin
gle battery (Ni-Cd 40 Ah) will get connected to the main bus & supply power to t
he emergency loads. DC External Power Receptacles (EPR) is provided at the port
side of the Helicopter with EPC in DC master box to supply the dc power from Gro
und Power Unit (GPU). FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION DC Master Box distributes the compl
ete dc power generation. It contains the main bus through which dc power is dire
cted to the overhead panel through circuit breakers for dc power distribution. D
uring normal operation, the total dc power from starter/generator is brought to
the main bus through Normally Open (N.O.) contactor, which is controlled by GCPU
.
Summer training Page 31
In case of failure of starter/generator, the dc power will be available from a s
ingle on-board internal battery through a normally closed battery contactor. Pro
vision has been made for receiving the dc external power during ground operation
through an external power receptacle. The external dc power supply is transferr
ed to main bus through N.O. contactor, which is switched on by External Power Ca
rd (EPC). The EPC switches the external power contactor ON only if the applied v
oltage is with in specified limit & of correct polarity and therefore protects t
he dc system from over-voltage conditions. As long as external power is connecte
d to the Helicopter (External Power Contactor is closed), battery should remain
disconnected. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS ± 1. Input sources for DC Master Box: Starter
/generator along with GCPU: 6 KW Battery (Ni-Cd): 40 Ah External power source on g
round: 6 KW 2. Types of O/P Buses: Main Bus ± 200 A at 28 V DC through 100 A circui
t breaker: 1 no. 50 A circuit breaker: 2 no. 3 A circuit breaker: 2 no. 3. Capacit
y: Capacity of unit (Main Bus): 200 A at 28 V DC Overloading: 150% (300 A) for 2 m
in & 200% (400 A) for 5 sec 4. Protection Function ±  External Power control: Exter
nal Power Control (EPC) card housed inside the DC Master Box provides the follow
ing functions when external power is selected to the Helicopter. a) Over voltage
protection: At 30.5s1 V with a fixed time delay of 0.4s0.1 sec.
Summer training Page 32
b) Reverse polarity protection: External Power fails to connect itself to the sy
stem if the polarity of the external power is reversed.
FAILURE MODES ± There may be multiple failure modes for each functioning. Design h
as been found to meet the basic criterion for external system: a) Single fault a
t a time should not affect the normal flight. This has been designed as MINOR fa
ilure. This may also be called as CONTROLLED FAULT, which may be corrected by ap
propriate design safety device or special automatic/manual procedure. Hence, one
fault at a time should only lead to MINOR failure. Double fault occurring simul
taneously should not lead to an emergency situation and may be counteracted by e
mergency action. Hence, two faults simultaneously should only lead to MAJOR fail
ure. Triple faults occurring simultaneously may lead to an emergency situation.
This may also require PILOTS immediate action for emergency condition. This type
of fault has been called as CRITICAL failure.
b)
c)
PRECAUTIONS FOR EMI/EMC CONTROL ± The following precautions have been taken during
design and development stage of DC Master Box to control EMI/EMC  All the ground
ing/reference lines used in the unit are connected to a common negative point us
ed inside the unit and then being brought out through connector pins of 16 AWG. 
The chassis of the unit is kept isolated from the grounding points to avoid the
return currents to flow through the Helicopter structure.  The bonding points are
provided on the unit at the mounting points.
Summer training Page 33
 All contactors are used with coil having surge suppressors. Transient suppressor
s and free wheeling diodes are also used in PCB circuit design.  The length of th
e leads/wires is kept as short as possible and multistrand wires are used to red
uce eddy current effects.
INTRODUCTION: Alternator Control & Protection Unit regulates the alternator O/P
voltage within specified limit under various rated load & speed conditions. The

INTRODUCTION The Filter Transformer Unit (FTU - 01) is for Jaguar aircraft which
gives single phase 26 V, 400 Hz low distortion O/P, synchronized with phase AB
of the three ± phase 200 VCC O/P, 400 Hz aircraft power source. The unit is being
operated from three phase 200 VCC, 400 Hz aircraft power source. There are two n
o. of FTU¶s in one A/C. in case of failure of one unit (FTU), the entire A/C load
will be automatically transferred to another healthy unit (FTU). Functional Desc
ription: The FTU is enclosed in an aluminum box & having natural cooling. The he
at sink fins made on two side walls are capable to provide the sufficient heat c
onduction generated from four power transistors. The basic electronics of this u
nit utilizes the conventional sine wave oscillator & push pull power amplificati
on principle. The unit provides single phase 26 V RMS, 400 Hz O/P synchronized w
ith phase AB of AC power. The unit is capable of 130 % of FLUFF. The unit is hav
ing built in protection against O/P over voltage, O/P under voltage. The unit al
so provides a single under above faulty condition. The total circuit is spited i
nto 3 main functional parts:  Power supply.  O/P voltage control & its phase synch
ronization.  Protection. Power Supply: Three phase power 200 VLL, 400 Hz availabl
e from A/C is being fed to step down I/P transformer. The three phase bridge rec
tifier rectifies the O/P of the I/P transformers. The rectifier O/P is filtered
through capacitor & a dc voltage of amplitude of approx. 26 V is available. This
dc voltage is used to bias the circuit within the unit & also to provide the O/
P power. A new reference i.e. 0 V is generated within the unit & w.r.t.0 V. The
+ VCC & VCC are generated to provide the biasing to the circuit.

O/P Voltage & Phase Synchronization: A three phase oscillator consisting of IC¶s &
associated resistors & capacitors produce 3 ± phase sine wave, 120 degrees apart
to each other. The sine wave available is in phase with the sine wave signal rec
eived at control card. The phase AB of A/C ac supply is fed to I/P of synchroniz
ation T/F. The O/P of T/F is step down & is fed to the control card, so the sine
wave available is always in phase with AB of A/C ac power. The sine wave O/P is
followed by pre ± amplifier is followed by the driver transistor mounted on chass
is. The T/F drives the class ± B push pull amplifier. The O/P available at the O/P
T/F is filtered through a filter consisting L & C. After filtration a low disto
rtion 26 V RMS, 400 Hz O/P is available at the connector. The O/P T/F has voltag
e feedback winding. A sine wave proportional to main O/P is being rectified & fi
ltered through capacitor in the control card. As unit O/P voltage decreases, the
amplitude of the square wave increases, hence the amplitude of the sine wave in
creases, hence the amplitude of the sine wave increases, which in turn increases
the O/P voltage & vice ± versa, so a regulated voltage within permissible range i
s available at the O/P of the unit.
The O/P sine wave & I/P phase AB available at the secondary of the phase synchro
nizing T/F are converted into square wave & fed to PLL. The O/P of the PLL is a
pulse whose width varies with phase difference b/w two square waves. The O/P of
PLL is followed by LPF. A smooth DC is at the O/P of LPF whose amplitude is dire
ctly proportional to the width of the pulse. The DC voltage available at the O/P
of the LPF is compared with a fixed reference voltage by the comparator. The co
mparator O/P is low as
Summer training Page 36
long as the phase error b/w O/P of the unit & I/P phase AB is less than the spec
ified value. When the phase error exceeds the specified limit, the comparator of
the O/P becomes high. The high signal is fed to the latching cum time delay cir
cuit & O/P becomes high after a specified time delay & thus unit O/P falls to ze
ro & the aircraft load gets transferred to the second FTU.
The d.c. voltage proportional to the O/P a.c. voltage is fed to the comparator w
hich compares this d.c. voltage to find a reference voltage. If the O/P voltage
becomes lower than the O/P under voltage threshold level, then the O/P of the co
mparator becomes high, which in turn makes O/P of the latching cum time delay ci
rcuit to high, after fixed time delay, & the unit tripped off & the aircraft loa
d is transferred to another FTU.
The a.c. voltage induced across the feedback winding of the O/P transformer is r
ectified by bridge rectifier & filtered to obtain the d.c. voltage is fed to the
comparator which compares the fixed reference voltage. If the O/P voltage excee
ds the threshold limit of O/P over voltage, the O/P of the comparators becomes h
igh, which in turn males the O/P of the latching cum time delay circuit to high,
after fixed time delay the unit is tripped off & the aircraft load is transferr
ed to the another FTU.
The a.c. voltage is proportional to the O/P current is achieved by the current t
ransformer. The voltage is rectified & filtered to obtain the d.c. voltage propo
rtional to the O/P current. The d.c. voltage is compared by a comparator with a
fixed reference voltage. If the O/P becomes higher than the specified limit, the
O/P of the comparator becomes high, which in turns makes the O/P of the latchin
g cum delay circuit to high after a fixed time
