Note 1. Refer to MIL-STD-704 for additional information concerning electrical power characteristics.
- Note 2. The MIL-STD-704 version may have additional notices. Refer to the latest notice to find any changes. Most notices do not vary the input power steady state conditions.
- Note 3. ***360 – 457 Hz (V-22) Special Frequency Range, see V-22 platform specification.
- Note 4. If material is to be used on multiple platforms, use the lowest and highest levels of all applicable MIL-STD-704 versions.
Note 5. Refer to STANAG 3456, ISO 1540, or EN 2282 for NATO member aircraft electrical power characteristics.
- Note 6. For the C-130, F-22, and U-2 aircraft platforms, contact the appropriate Platform Program Office for electrical power conditions.
