Description
AZU-400A: aircraft automatic protection and control unit
AZU-400A is identified in aviation electrical training documentation as an automatic protection and control unit for an onboard DC power-supply system. Its original Cyrillic designation is АЗУ-400А. The 400 A value forms part of the designation, but the controlled passport and wiring diagram remain the authority for contact rating, thresholds and aircraft effectivity.

Role in the aircraft electrical system
The unit belongs to the class of apparatus that combines high-current switching control with monitoring and protective functions in an aircraft generating channel. Available public material confirms the product name and its placement within aircraft power-system protection studies; it does not provide a complete controlled specification suitable for installation release.
It shows a metal enclosure, heavy power terminals, a control connector, mounting feet and a blank nameplate. Match the delivered item by its original plate, connector keying, terminal plan and drawing. Related versions: AZSGK-5A and AZZ-3.
Data required before installation
Confirm the main-circuit current class, DC system voltage, contact configuration, generator-channel function, control-supply pins, protection pickup values, time delays, reset logic and permissible duty from the applicable passport. The number and polarity of control circuits must match the approved aircraft diagram. Do not infer interchangeability from a similar metal enclosure or the 400 A designation alone.
Bench verification requires an approved test scheme, isolated current and voltage sources, calibrated measurement channels and safe handling of the high-current path. Record pickup and release values, contact state, control response, insulation condition and connector pin identification.
Inspection and inquiry
Inspect the enclosure, cover fasteners, mounting points, power studs, connector, insulators, seals and nameplate for cracking, overheating, corrosion, looseness or unspecified repair. Wikipedia provides general context on electrical protection devices. Browse Aviamisto’s Circuit Breakers category. State AZU-400A / АЗУ-400А, nameplate data, quantity and required documentation in the inquiry.
