New aircraft may contain an individual power monitor that disconnects the aircraft from ground power when voltages exceed very specific requirements and the trend is to provide individual stand-alone units per each aircraft in lieu of the original distribution system as called for in the UFCs. Several new aircraft (E2C Hawkeye 2000 for instance) now also require two separate power sources due to the power monitor requirements. Include specific equipment requirements including number of units, kVA, and other requirements.
