FREQUENCY TRANSIENTS (Group 1 and A(CF) only)
This test applies to Group1 and A(CF) only. The output voltage is set to Vnom (115 V) while the
frequency is changed per the sequence listed in Table 9-5. The test will cycle 5 times starting
from sequence 2. Steps 3 and 6 apply to A(CF) only.

This test will apply to Group2/A(NF) and Group3/A(WF) only. . The output voltage is set to
Vnom (115 V) while the frequency is set to 360Hz for 5 minutes. The frequency is slowed per
the sequence listed in Table 9-6. The test will cycle 3 times. The frequency will return to nominal
after the test is completed. Slew rates of 200Hz apply to RTCA2 only.
