Benefits & Features
The Power Coil is a compact light weight adaptable design allowing flexible installation
options. It can be floor mounted, overhead mounted or mounted on a trailer or castors.
- NFPA 70 Article 500 Class 1 Div. 2 compliant with 18” Floor Stand
- Overhead mounting of the Power Coil eliminates occupation of valuable floor space required by traditional cabinet style power supplies and cable rack/reel installations.
- Trailer mounted units are compliant with SAE AS8090 Type 1 Class 2 requirements.
AN ALL-IN-ONE APPROACH FOR PROVIDING GROUND POWER
Traditionally, a ground power system consisted of several separate elements; the Power Supply, a Cable Storage Rack or Reel, Interconnection Cables and Aircraft Cable, all supplied by different manufacturers. These elements would then have to be integrated, installed, and tested on-site as a complete system. The 400 Hz Power Coil provides a complete fully integrated and tested system which is ready to install as delivered.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The 400 Hz Power Coil is a solid-state Power Supply and electro-mechanical 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 frequency drive control provides smooth rpm ramping, less mechanical stress, scuffing, and damage to the aircraft cable.
