Operation Verification

Introduction

This appendix provides operation verification test procedures. The tests do not check all the operating parameters, but verify that the power supply is performing properly. The required test equipment and acceptable test results are specified in tables at the end of this appendix.

Note	Performance Tests, which check all the specifications of the power supply, are given in the applicable
	power supply Service Manual.
