Optimised weight – 32 lbs. for 15kW continuous

checkmark

Manufacturable – Transformer/diodes/filter inductor fully assembled prior to installation in enclosure.

TT Electronics provides auto-transformer rectifier units (non-isolated). This newly designed ATRU has been optimised for use aboard commercial aircraft and utilised to drive a powerful DC motor. Several design innovations are employed – a newly designed phase-shifting autotransformer topology, enhanced forced air cooling and DC filtering for improved motor performance. Fully DO-160 compliant, this package provides flexibility in ATRU design for other applications and power levels. and transformer/rectifier units (isolated) optimised for minimum size and weight, and maximum reliability, solving many of the challenges inherent in airborne rectification.
