Aircraft Alternator Test System

Aircraft Alternator Test System

Product Overview

The Aircraft Alternator Test System primarily consists of a main control cabinet, power unit, DC load bank, test cables, aircraft alternator, and alternator regulator. It is mainly used to perform performance testing of the JF-12 type alternator and excitation system, as well as to check the operational conditions of the supporting equipment.

Main Features

  • The JF-12 generator provides different power outputs based on the cooling method: it outputs 5A current under self-ventilation and increases to 10A current under forced ventilation.
  • During operation, it ensures stable voltage, reliable parallel operation, and protection against reverse current and prolonged overload, while also reducing radio interference.
  • The generator adopts a separately excited system, where the main control cabinet supplies DC voltage to excite the alternator.
  • It offers flexible installation positions, supporting horizontal, inclined, and vertical orientations.
