DC MASTER BOX
INTRODUTION –
DC Master Box is a part of dc power generation and distribution system for re-engine
Cheetah Helicopter. It is designed for use with an independent starter/generator mounted on the
engine accessories gearbox, and is interfaced with GCPU, battery, 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 single battery (Ni-Cd 40 Ah) will get connected to the main bus & supply power to the
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 Ground Power Unit (GPU).
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DC Master Box distributes the complete dc power generation. It contains the main bus
through which dc power is directed to the overhead panel through circuit breakers for dc power
distribution.
During 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.
In case of failure of starter/generator, the dc power will be available from a single on-
board internal battery through a normally closed battery contactor. Provision has been made for
receiving the dc external power during ground operation through an external power receptacle.
The external dc power supply is transferred to main bus through N.O. contactor, which is
switched on by External Power Card (EPC). The EPC switches the external power contactor ON
only if the applied voltage is within specified limit & of correct polarity and therefore protects
the dc system from over-voltage conditions. As long as external power is connected to the
Helicopter (External Power Contactor is closed), battery should remain disconnected.

3. Capacity:
-Capacity of unit (Main Bus): 200 A at 28 V DC
-Overloading: 150% (300 A) for 2 min & 200% (400 A) for 5 sec
4. Protection Function –
External Power control :
External Power Control (EPC) card housed inside the DC Master
Box provides the following functions when external power is
selected to the Helicopter.
a) Over voltage protection: At 30.5± 1 V with a fixed time delay of 0.4± 0.1 sec.
b) Reverse polarity protection: External Power fails to connect itself to the system
if the polarity of the external power is reversed.
Page | 34
FAILURE MODES –
There may be multiple failure modes for each functioning. Design has been found to meet the
basic criterion for external system: -
a) Single fault at a time should not affect the normal flight. This has been designed
as MINOR failure. This may also be called as CONTROLLED FAULT, which
may be corrected by appropriate design safety device or special automatic/manual
procedure. Hence, one fault at a time should only lead to MINOR failure.
b) Double fault occurring simultaneously should not lead to an emergency situation
and may be counteracted by emergency action. Hence, two faults simultaneously
should only lead to MAJOR failure.
c) 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.
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 grounding/reference lines used in the unit are connected to a common negative
point used 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.
All contactors are used with coil having surge suppressors. Transient suppressors and
freewheeling diodes are also used in PCB circuit design.
The length of the leads/wires is kept as short as possible and multi-strand wires are used
to reduce eddy current effects.

FILTER TRANSFORMER UNIT
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 no. 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 Description: -
The FTU is enclosed in an aluminum box & having natural cooling. The heat sink fins made on
two side walls are capable to provide the sufficient heat conduction generated from four power
transistors. The basic electronics of this unit utilizes the conventional sine wave oscillator &
push pull power amplification principle. The unit provides single phase 26 V RMS, 400 Hz O/P
synchronized with phase AB of AC power. The unit is capable of 130 % of FLUFF. The unit is
having built in protection against O/P over voltage, O/P under voltage. The unit also provides a
single under above faulty condition.
The total circuit is spited into 3 main functional parts: -
Power supply.
O/P voltage control & its phase synchronization.
Protection.
Power Supply: -
Three phase power 200 VLL, 400 Hz available from A/C is being fed to step down I/P
transformer. The three phase bridge rectifier rectifies the O/P of the I/P transformers. The
Page | 37
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 received at control card. The phase AB of A/C ac supply is fed to I/P of
synchronization 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
chassis. 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 distortion 26 V RMS, 400 Hz O/P
is available at the connector.
The O/P T/F has voltage feedback winding. A sine wave proportional to main O/P is being
rectified & filtered 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 increases, 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 is
available at the O/P of the unit.
Page | 38
PROTECTIONS
1) PHASE ERROR PROTECTION:-
The O/P sine wave & I/P phase AB available at the secondary of the phase synchronizing
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 directly 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 comparator O/P is low as long as the phase error b/w O/P of the unit &
I/P phase AB is less than the specified 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
circuit & O/P becomes high after a specified time delay & thus unit O/P falls to zero & the
aircraft load gets transferred to the second FTU.
2) O/P UNDER VOLTAGE:-
The d.c. voltage proportional to the O/P a.c. voltage is fed to the comparator which
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 comparator becomes high, which in turn
makes O/P of the latching cum time delay circuit to high, after fixed time delay, & the unit
tripped off & the aircraft load is transferred to another FTU.
3) O/P OVER VOLTAGE:-
The a.c. voltage induced across the feedback winding of the O/P transformer is rectified
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 exceeds the threshold limit of O/P over voltage,
the O/P of the comparators becomes high, 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 transferred
to the another FTU.

4) O/P OVERLOAD:-
The a.c. voltage is proportional to the O/P current is achieved by the current transformer.
The voltage is rectified & filtered to obtain the d.c. voltage proportional 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 latching cum delay circuit to high after a fixed time delay & the unit is tripped off
& the aircraft load is transferred to another FTU.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (FDR) OR BLACK BOX
Flight data recorder system is fitted in aircraft for recording of flight parameters on aero photo
film and preserving it in normal as well as in crash condition.
This box is dark orange in color to give bright contrast for easy search during any miss-
happening. Though it is called Black Box, as data are being recorded on film and cannot be seen
easily by everyone.
It mainly consist of-
1- Information storage system
2- Matching mechanism
3- Cassette
4- Transducers for various parameters.
Purpose &working
Flight data recorder system records automatically 6 continuously changing parameters
(altitude, engine speed, aircraft speed, vertical acceleration, and horizontal acceleration and turn
angle of stabilizer) imposed on 3 continuously variable parameters, and timer line to indicate the
time on black and white aero photo film and preserve it in normal and crash condition for study
and analysis of flight conditions.
Inner structure consists of a light beam source and plane mirrors. There are six sets of
galvanometer is a plane mirror. These galvanometers are placed in magnetic field.
When the signals are send to galvanometers the coils moves due to magnetic effect,
making the mirror move in different directions. Now, when light beam passes the beam, it is
reflected by plane mirror and when this falls on galvanometers mirrors, and get light gets
reflected in six parts and falls on film forming different wave shapes.

INTRODUCTION TO SU-MKI AIR CRAFT
1. Aircraft SU-30MKI is a multipurpose twin seated supersonic fighter designed to destroy
air target in free space and against the earth background both by day and at night under visual
and adverse weather conditions and to engage ground and surface targets within tactical and
operational depths under heavy noise conditions as well.
2. To destroy aerial targets, a provision is made for employment of all angle medium-range
missiles (active, semi-active radar and infrared guided missiles) and short-range missiles (infra-
red guided missiles) capable of high target hit probability.
3. To destroy ground targets, use is made of unguided bombs, guided bombs and missiles.
The aircraft is also equipped with a rapid-fire gun mount with caliber of 30mm.
4. The aircraft is also intended for training, acquisition (perfection) of skills in flying
techniques, air navigation and combat employment including participation in group combat
actions.
Main Features
Fuselage: The fuselage of SU-30MKI aircraft is an integrated aerofoil body that provides
40% of aircraft’s total lift. The fuselage is built up of three sections; Nose sections, tall
section and wing center section.
Fuselage Nose Section: It is an all-metal semi monologue construction. It includes nose
cone, two cabins, nose LG well and equipment compartment. For planes or canards and

Wing Center Section: It is the main load carrying structure of the aircraft. It provides
attachment points for landing gears, outer wings, fuselage nose section, and fuselage tail
section and air intakes.
Fuselage Tall Section: It comprises of air ducts, air Intakes and two engine
compartments interconnected by an intermediate compartment. Horizontal stabilizers and
vertical fins are attached to the rear part of fuselage tail section
Outer Wings: Outer wings are an integrated part of the fuselage, trapezoidal in shape
and swept back by 420. The flaperons are attached at the trailing edge, which operate as
ailerons and flaps. The leading edge flaps are located all along outer wingspan to improve
the aerodynamic characteristics.
Air intakes : The engine air intakes are under slung and provided with ramp panels the
air intakes are closed by protective screen to prevent the ingress of foreign objects.
Landing Gear: The aircraft has tricycle type landing gear operated by first hydraulic
system. Only the main wheels are provided with brakes, and the brakes are operated by
hydraulic pressure. The nose landing gear is provided with wheel steering system.
Flight Controls: The aircraft longitudinal control is achieved by synchronous deflection
of stabilizers, lateral control by differential deflection of stabilizers and flaperons and
directional control by rudders. Fly by wire system operates all the control surfaces. Fore
plane or canard is introduced for providing larger stability and Maneuverability at higher
angle of attack and subsonic speeds. Wing leading flaps also act as lift augmenting device
at greater angle of attack. The fly by wire system operates canards and leading edge flaps
automatically. All control surfaces are operated by both the hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic system: The hydraulic system comprises of two independent systems i.e.:
First or Left hydraulic system and Second or Right hydraulic system.
(a) Hydraulic oil used:AMG-10/OM-15

MARKETING STRATEGIES
Marketing is the relation between costumer and organization. When the customer
contacts the organization then it is seen that the request is of our capability or not. If not then
regret order is send. Else request is judged under various points of cost, terms and conditions,
time duration etc. and the decided conditions are send to the customer now if the customer agree
then order is placed for further process.
Firstly HAL had only defense sector as the only customer, but now it has decided to
expand it capabilities to earn more and more profit.
Marketing mainly includes two units of marketing. They are Civil and Export. It mainly
deals with the defense requirements, but besides this there are many other costumers in India and
outside India.
MARKETING
Civil Export
ISRO, Sahara Airlines, kingfisher, Oman UA, England, Romania,
JET airways, etc. Zimbabwe, Srilanka, etc.
CIVIL - In civil unit it mainly deals with the costumers of India only. They are different airlines and research organizations, army, navy, coast guard, air force, etc. They may contact for repairing of parts and for requirements of parts.
