Advanced Features
Unique Frequency/Phase Conversion and Power Conditioning Capabilities
Falcon’s ED-FPC Series™ Frequency/ Phase
Converter and Regenerative Power Source has
been designed to tame harsh field power. It
provides reliable computer-grade power
suitable for power-sensitive equipment.
The ED converts incoming three-phase utility
or generator power to DC which is regulated
and fed into a robust PWM MOSFET inverter.
The inverter stage then regenerates new
regulated, single-phase computer-grade power
of the desired frequency.
This approach removes voltage transients,
sags, surges and the frequency stability
problems often encountered from groundbased
and aircraft generator systems, as well
as third-world utility sources.
Additionally, the ED-FPC allows for the
connection of single-phase equipment to a
three-phase source while maintaining a
balanced power draw from all three phases.
This helps eliminate excessive harmonics and
the nuisance tripping of circuit breakers due to
phase imbalance created on the three-phase
source.
Superior output power quality is assured with ±3% voltage regulation and a sinewave harmonic
distortion of less than 3%. Frequency
regulation is maintained at ±1%. The output
specifications are held over the entire input
voltage and frequency range, no load to full
load.
COTS Availability and a Rugged, Deployment-Ready Design
To accommodate field, mobile and aircraft installations, the ED-FPC is designed to meet the shock and vibration requirements of RTCA/DO160, Zone A and the Munson Road Test. As requirements vary depending on the specific application, final qualification testing must be performed prior to deployment.
Light Weight and Small Size is Ideal for Aircraft, Mobile and Shelter Usage
With a weight of under 80 pounds, the ED-FPC
is one-third the weight of other products. Its
compact 4U rackmount form factor allows for
easy integration into aircraft, ground-based
mobile and shelter applications.
Aircraft - The ED-FPC converts 115/200 Vac,
400Hz three-phase aircraft “Wild Power” to
computer-grade 120Vac, 60Hz, single-phase
power. It provides an easy solution to powering
land-based systems from fixed-wing and rotary
aircraft 400Hz power.
Mobile - Originally designed for use with
HMMWV three-phase generator systems, the
ED-FPC is ideally suited for mobile
implementation and survivability. It delivers
computer-grade power for critical tactical
systems on board the HMMWV. Models are also
available for use with single-phase generators.
Shelters - Due to its light weight and small
size, the ED-FPC is a good solution for powering
sensitive computer-based equipment from the
small generators typically incorporated into
Single and Dual-Pallet Shelters.
The ED-FPC can also be invaluable when
designed into Mobile Medical, Combat Hospital
or Laboratory Shelters. Laboratory equipment,
such as Mass Spectrometers, Gas
Chromatographs, Genetic Analyzers, Centrifuges
and Protein Synthesizers, demand a level of
power quality that most generator sources cannot
deliver. Additionally, the equipment is
typically designed to operate from single-phase
power. Due to the large amount of equipment
required, generator phase balancing can also be
an issue.
When used in Command and Control Shelters,
the ED-FPC supplies computer-grade power to
computers, network, satellite equipment and
tactical systems. To discuss you specific
application, please contact Falcon Military Sales.
