PS Engineering PXE7300 Series IFE System Installation and Operator’s Manual The PXE7300 power supply is specifically designed to reduce conducted electrical noise on the aircraft power bus by at least 50dB. Although this is a large amount of attenuation, it may not eliminate all noise, particularly if the amplitude of noise is very high. There must be at least 12 VDC present at the connector pin 21, of the PXE7300 for the power supply to work in its designed regulation.
