Features and benefits
Wide range of power converters to provide DC electrical power for aerospace networks. They can include simple or complex embedded monitoring, allowing operators to manage external components or equipment.
DC/DC converter
These are mainly DC-DC converters with galvanic isolation between the input and output.
Used to create high quality DCV networks. They hold network voltage within ±1.5 % of rated voltage up to the rated current; then limit power on the output (up to the defined overload) and finally manage a short circuit current limitation.
These units present ratings between 200 A and 400 A for 28 VDC networks.
Provide HVDC from 28 VDC for specific power application (e.g. APU starting, cooling compressor etc). Output voltage ratings of 270 VDC or 540 VDC, up to 10 kW.
Other features include:
- Embedded fan, removing the need for a blown air circuit on the aircraft
- Monitoring and communication module, to manage part of the surrounding environment
- Embedded firmware and/or software
Certification approvals for power converters
DO178 certified software (up to DAL B)
DO254 certified hardware (up to DAL B)
Applications
Used on commercial or military platforms in the following applications:
- DC power for applications needing different voltages to the one on the network
