INTRODUCTION The model TC2000 Series Static Electrical Power Converter is a lightweight power converter that translates an aircraft alternating current (AC) input of 115 volts at 360-800 Hertz to a 28 volt direct current (DC) output. Additionally the TC2000 can be bench operated on AC Mains with 115 or 230 volts at 47-65 Hz input and provide a 28 volt direct current (DC) output (see Note 1 below).
EQUIPMENT LOCATION The TC2000 Series is designed for mounting flexibility, allowing for installation inside or outside the pressure vessel with no requirement for temperature control within the temperature specifications.

function has been submitted to and reviewed by the FAA along with the TSO-C71 requirements and functionality. Additionally, there are limitations associated with a derating of the maximum continuous power available at the high end of the rated temperature and altitude specification. For more details, see Figures 2.1 and 2.2 below.
This section contains interconnect diagrams, mounting dimensions and other information pertaining to the installation of the TC2000 Series Static Converter. After installation of cabling and before installation of the equipment, ensure that power is applied only to the pins specified in the interconnect diagram.

Refer to Section 2: Pre-Installation Considerations in regards to equipment location. The TC2000 Series Static Converter is designed for base mounting only (in any orientation). Four ¼-20 mounting holes should be provided in the aircraft in accordance with Figure 3.6.
INSTALLATION CAUTION * CAUTION Do not connect the output of the TC2000 Series Static Converter to the output of any other Converter or damage will result. Under no circumstance allow the output of the Converter to be connected to ground utility AC power or damage will result.
ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE The TC2000 Series Static Converter converts an alternating current (AC) voltage input to a regulated VDC output. See Table 4.1 specific output and input frequency. Model Input Frequency Output TC2000 115 VAC 360-800 Hz 28 VDC Table 4.1...
No periodic scheduled maintenance or calibration is necessary for continued airworthiness of the TC2000 Series Static Converter. If the unit fails to perform to specifications, the unit must be removed and serviced by Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics or their authorized designee.
