IRWINDALE, CA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2008) - Falcon Electric, Inc. (www.falconups.com), a
leading provider in custom and COTS power solutions for the military and
aerospace markets, today introduced its new lightweight ED-FPC Series
Frequency & Phase Converters
(http://www.falconups.com/products-frequency-converters.htm) that provide
reliable computer-grade power for sensitive equipment. The new rackmount
ED-FPC Series, ranging from 3 to 5kVA, is one of the most performance-rich,
lightweight and compact frequency and phase converters on the market today.
With a weight of less than 80 pounds and a compact seven inch (4U) high
rackmount form factor, the ED-FPC is an ideal COTS solution delivering
computer-grade power for use in aircraft, ground-based and mobile systems,
such as a HMMWV. Due to its light weight and small size, the ED-FPC is a
perfect solution 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.
Furthermore, to accommodate fixed, mobile and aircraft installations, the
ED-FPC is designed to meet the shock and vibration requirements of
RTCA/DO160, Zone A and the Munson Road Test.
Falcon has designed the new ED-FPC 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 a single-phase 120Vac, 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 superior low-distortion sinewave output
with +/-3% voltage regulation. "Other frequency and phase converters on
the market weigh substantially more and are larger," explained Michael
Stout, vice president of engineering at Falcon Electric.
Availability and Pricing
Available now, the ED-FPC Series Frequency & Phase Converters list pricing
starts at $16,450 for the 3kVA model and all models include a one-year
warranty. For more information, contact a Falcon government sales
representative at 800-842-6940 or e-mail sales@falconups.com.
