Falcon Electric Inc. in Irwindale, Calif., is introducing the lightweight ED-FPC Series frequency and phase converters that provide reliable computer-grade power for sensitive equipment. The rackmount ED-FPC Series electronic phase converter ranges from three to five kilovolt-amperes (kVA), weighs less than 80 pounds, and is a 7-inch (4U) rackmount form factor. The ED-FPC power phase converter delivers computer-grade power for aircraft, as well as to ground-based and mobile systems such as a HMMWV. The ED-FPC frequency power converter is appropriate for powering sensitive computer-based equipment from generator sources typically incorporated into single and dual-pallet shelters, as well as tactical, hospital, or laboratory shelters. The power is designed to meet the shock and vibration requirements of RTCA/DO160, Zone A, and the Munson Road Test. Falcon has designed the ED-FPC electric phase converter to meet the military’s need for a lightweight, compact frequency and phase converter with flexible capabilities. It has a three-phase input that accepts a wide 45–450Hz input frequency range. Having one-phase 120 volt AC, 50, 60, or 400Hz output, the ED-FPC eliminates phase imbalance problems associated with powering large single-phase equipment from a three-phase generator source. The ED-FPC also eliminates line-side voltage transients, surges, sags, and frequency stability problems. It provides a low-distortion sinewave output with +/-3 percent voltage regulation.
