Frequency Converter Operates At 400 Hz

Feb. 3, 2014
Behlman Electronics, Inc. has introduced a new 400 Hz power supply with capabilities beneficial to any markets in which 400 Hz power is used.

A 400 Hz power supply from Behlman Electronics, Inc. meets operating requirements for U.S. Navy ships as well as on land air bases of all the military branches, primarily to service aircraft and avionics. In addition, 400 HZ requirements can be found in spacecraft, submarines, server rooms for computer power, hand-held machine tools and other industrial applications.

The Behlman FC5003 is an ultra-rugged COTS power supply designed to convert common 120/208 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz ground power to 115/200 VAC, 3-phase 400 Hz power used by aircraft and other vehicles, and equipment that require 400 Hz. FC5003 is in a 6U (10.5" high) 19-inch rack mount chassis having an input line cord with a plug, and an output receptacle.

Installed in a vehicle or in a wheeled rack or cart, it can readily be moved as needed to service many different aircraft and systems, thereby eliminating the need to use an aircraft's own 400 Hz generator power. In industrial and manufacturing applications it can be routinely moved close to production lines and test areas to facilitate operations.
