Vertical Power Pps Primary Power System
MFR Model# KT1458-1

Overview
|
Finally, a simple and reliable primary power solution. The Vertical Power Primary Power System (PPS) is an entirely new approach to the master, starter, and charging circuit on your experimental aircraft or LSA. It combines the functions of multiple high-current, electro-mechanical components into a single, solid-state device that installs in minutes with plug-and-play simplicity. Plus, the high-reliability of the PPS means you won't find yourself stranded on a deserted landing strip without the power to start your plane. The PPS is a new power distribution component that handles your aircraft's high-current power. It controls the flow of power from the battery to the starter and supplies power to the Vertical Power VP-X (or a traditional bus) for your electrical system loads. The PPS also supports the charging circuit by completing the B-lead connection to the alternator. |

Benefits
Easier- Speeds installation – easily mount one box instead of 5 or more individual devices.
- Saves space – smaller than the old-style individual components mounted together on the firewall.
- Clearly labeled for quick connection to electrical system.
- Reduces exposure to components at battery voltage.
- Eliminates hazardous and costly wiring mistakes.
- Highly engineered and proven design – no need to solve the challenging puzzle of what components you need and how they should be connected.
- Delivers higher reliability – replaces older mechanical contactors with solid-state technology.
- Low static power draw of 1 mA – won't drain your battery if you forget to turn off your master switch.
- Integrates perfectly with the Vertical Power VP-X system for a comprehensive solid-state electrical solution.
