AC-DC power-factor-corrected front-end converters for airborne power applications introduced by Gaia
LE HAILLAN, France – Gaïa Converter in Le Haillan, France, is introducing AC-DC power-factor corrected front-end modules that are compatible with common airborne AC input bus voltages and variable frequencies.
These power electronics devices particularly are suited for use in centralized power architectures with point-of-load or isolated DC modules.
In addition, all of the modules meet the stringent requirements of DO-160, ABD-100, and Mil-Std-704 specifications. GaĂŻa's AC-DC front-end modules have a soft-start, active current limitation, short circuit protection, and inhibit function.
The soft-start/active current limitation prevents inrush current during start-up. The short circuit protection safeguards the module against short circuits by shutting down and restoring to normal when the overload is removed.
Front end series of less than 50 Watts offer two isolated low-voltage outputs. Series stronger than 150 Watts provide non-isolated high voltage output.
