What is the momentary amp limit for external power in the King Air 350?

The momentary amp limit for external power in the King Air 350 is 1000 amps. This specification is essential for flight operations as it dictates the maximum amount of electrical current that can be drawn from an external power source during start-up or when the aircraft is on the ground. Such high current draw is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of systems during the initial power-up phase, especially when starting the engines or when there is a significant load from various onboard systems.

Choosing 1000 amps aligns with the aircraft's design to support the power demands without causing damage to the electrical systems, ensuring both safety and reliability in operation. This limit helps prevent potential overcurrent situations that could lead to electrical failures, making it critical for pilots and operators to adhere to this specification when using external power sources.
