ITW Military GSE’s 400Hz, 90kva Power Coil has been exercised on the US Army’s Black Hawk Helicopters, providing power to the aircraft while in the hangar. The Power Coil is ITW Military GSE’s ALL-IN-ONE APPROACH for providing ground power.
The 400 Hz Power Coil is a solidstate Power Supply and electromechanical chain driven cable drum integrated into a single cabinet. The Power Coil’s fully integrated design eliminates the need for expensive unreliable slip rings, providing better performance and requiring less maintenance than traditional cable reels. The system includes a 66 ft. (20 m) aircraft cable. The motorized cable drum extends and retracts the aircraft cable eliminating the physical burden usually associated with wrestling aircraft power cables. The Power Coil can be floor mounted, overhead mounted or mounted on a trailer or castors.
