Notes:

A database indicates this power supply was for the MRCA (the Tornado precursor) SPILS (Spin Prevention Limiiter Systems).

The Spin Prevention and Incidence Limiting System (SPILS) is a duplex analogue system which operates in conjunction with the CSAS to achieve maximum aircraft lift in low level flight. It limits aircraft incidence, irrespective of the pilot’s demands, when maximum safe angles of attack are reached. Individual LRUs are the SPILS Computer and the SPILS Control Unit.

"Janes '94" p444 gives a full description of CSAS with photo.
