Regulated Power Conversion Unit
RPCU
The RPCU takes variable frequency 3-phase 115VAC input power (324Hz to 800Hz) and converts it to regulated 28VDC output. Astronics currently offers two RPCU options: 250 Amp output and 150 Amp output.

Frequency Converter Unit
FCU
The Astronics Frequency Converter Unit (FCU) provides frequency conversion of variable frequency aircraft power. Recent trends in aircraft power systems use variable frequency (VF) generators instead of fixed frequency of 400Hz. While the majority of aircraft loads can use VF power, select loads still exclusively require 400Hz and are best addressed by the use of FCUs. The FCU performs the task of converting the power line frequency by leveraging recent advances in solid-state technology to provide dramatic improvements in performance over traditional frequency converter solutions.

Windshield Temperature Controllers
Window Temperature Control is a necessary component of any aircraft and Astronics has decades of design experience meeting customer requirements, including high power DC for heating transparent conductive gold film. Astronics units supply heating power to the windshield, monitor the windshield temperature, and provide control function to the cockpit.
