The Transformer-Rectifier provides 28.5 volts DC (nominal) to supply necessary energy for aircraft with 28-volt DC power requirements. The DC voltage is derived from a 400 Hz source (furnished by others), which is connected to the input of the Transformer-Rectifier unit. A massive 12 pulse, silicon rectifier/heat sink assembly with a sophisticated, controlled step down transformer provides smooth DC for the load. Four highly reliable fans provide efficient forced cooling for all components within the Transformer Rectifier unit.
The Transformer-Rectifier may be connected to the external 400 Hz source via a standard aircraft receptacle mounted on the rear of the Transformer-Rectifier or, alternately, via hard wired conduit connection in place of the receptacle. The Transformer-Rectifier could be mounted on a portable generator, portable cart, or upon a passenger loading bridge. The low profile of the Transformer-Rectifier unit allows mounting to the underside of a passenger loading bridge cab next to a point of use converter without causing ground
