The main pump low-inlet-pressure switch shown in the figure below
monitors the pressure level supplied by the supercharge pump at the input
to the main pumps. The switch protects the main pumps by turning off the
HPU if the supercharge pump pressure drops below the minimum level
required by the main pumps.
