MIL-STD-704 Aircraft Electric Power CharacteristicsThis standard establishes the requirements and characteristics of aircraft electric power provided at the input terminals of electric utilization equipment. MIL-HDBK-704-1 through-8 defines test methods and procedures for determining airborne utilization equipment compliance with the electric power characteristics requirements defined herein. Electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes are not covered by this standard.

6.10.2 Compatibility and installation. Users of MIL-STD-704 power should consider selection and installation processes when planning to integrate and install utilization equipment or components in aircraft. System designers should be aware of the related interface standards, MIL-STD-7080, MIL-STD-464 and SAE-AS50881, which address installation, electromagnetic compatibility and wiring, respectively. Use of these standards is recommended, especially when incorporating COTS equipment into military aircraft. The 60 Hz power requirements were

included to accommodate COTS and non-developmental items procured using procedures of SD-

2. Equipment designed for use on military aircraft should not use 60 Hz power, since it requires more weight and prime mover capacity per unit of power consumed by the utilization equipment.
