1.1 INTRODUCTION
The model TC2000 Series Static Electrical Power Converter is a lightweight power converter that
translates an aircraft alternating current (AC) input of 115 volts at 360-800 Hertz to a 28 volt
direct current (DC) output. Additionally the TC2000 can be bench operated on AC Mains with
115 or 230 volts at 47-65 Hz input and provide a 28 volt direct current (DC) output (see Note 1
below).
The wide input operating voltage and frequency make the TC2000 suitable for nearly any
common business or commercial aircraft which provides 100-125 VAC between 360-800 Hertz.
The output of 71 amps @ 28 VDC produces 2000 watts of power to supply avionics,
instrumentation, seating, personal charging, lighting, and many other applications. The TC2000
Series Static 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 voltage shut-down,
temperature monitoring, a self-resettable over-temperature disable and a remote on/off function.
The TC2000 Series has a robust Military-rated circular connector, and the rugged extrusion that
houses the unit is designed to help dissipate heat and provide mechanical strength against
vibration or other possibilities of damage. Two independent fans allow for a smaller unit and
quiet operation, and keep the internal components cool extending the life of the unit.
