Ultra-reliability – minimum component count provides extremely high MTBF for mission critical application and flight safety
for internal and external power on commercial aircraft, radar and communications power on defence platforms Compliance to DO-160G, MIL-STD-1399, MIL-STD-704
Rugged design for use with a wide range of temperatures and acceleration profiles. DO-160G, MIL-S-901, MIL-STD-167, MIL-STD-810
Optimised size, weight and cooling from time of initial design all performance characteristics are analysed for their impact on size, weight, temperature rise, efficiency. Convection, conduction and forced-air cooling Motor drive application – 400 VDC output, 15kW continuous
Filtered DC output for very low ripple (<0.1 V P-P with balanced line input)
Diode switching profile selected for EMI emissions and lighting susceptibility compliance to DO-160
Utilises newly designed transformer topology – along with efficient, low-weight heat-transfer approach previously designed and employed by TT Electronics
Short development cycle – less than 16 weeks from time of order until delivery of qualification units
COTS enclosure – ARINC 600 5-MCU standard dimensions
Optimised weight – 32 lbs. for 15kW continuous
Manufacturable – Transformer/diodes/filter inductor fully assembled prior to installation in enclosure.
TT Electronics provides auto-transformer rectifier units (non-isolated). This newly designed ATRU has been optimised for use aboard commercial aircraft and utilised to drive a powerful DC motor. Several design innovations are employed – a newly designed phase-shifting autotransformer topology, enhanced forced air cooling and DC filtering for improved motor performance. Fully DO-160 compliant, this package provides flexibility in ATRU design for other applications and power levels. and transformer/rectifier units (isolated) optimised for minimum size and weight, and maximum reliability, solving many of the challenges inherent in airborne rectification.
