Overview
|
The model TC230 DC/DC Power Converter is a lightweight power converter that translates a direct current (DC) input of 14 volts to an output of 28 volts direct current (DC) output. Converting an input operation voltage range of 10-18 V DC to 28VDC makes the TC230 suitable for power to a wide variety of general, business, or commercial aviation applications. The unit is rated for a nominal output of 230 watts to power avionics, instrumentation, lighting, and many other applications. The TC230 DC/DC Converter is FAA certified to TSO-C71 and tested to rigorous environmental standards and levels of RTCA DO-160G. The small size and light weight in conjunction with its installation flexibility (inside or outside the pressure vessel) make it an ideal choice for aircraft power needs while reducing the challenges associated with other similar products. Highlighted features include short circuit protection, overload capability, low input voltage shut-down, temperature monitoring, reverse polarity protection, a self-resettable over-temperature disable and an optional remote enable (on/off) feature. The TC230 DC/DC converter has a robust Military-rated circular connector and a rugged aluminum case which dissipates heat and provides excellent mechanical strength. It is engineered to require no external cooling and contains no internal fans or cooling methods, which saves energy, reduces weight and allows more flexible installation locations. At only 0.70 pounds, it is lighter and smaller than any other certified solution in the aviation market today. |
