RBC5000 - High Current, 28.5 volt DC for Support
and Start Power
When there is a requirement for 28.5 volt
continuous power for heavy work on base, or for
larger aircraft, Red Box provides Transformer
Rectifier Units (TRU) which can produce up to
600 amps continuously and 2000 amps peak
power for starting.
These units convert direct from AC Mains Supply
to 28.5 volts DC using the latest technology,
providing stable outputs capable of rapid
response to a change in load. Together with
remote voltage sensing, this provides high
quality steady DC at the aircraft.
RBC5000
They can be provided in both static and mobile
formats and are ideal for supplying aircraft
which require high levels of DC power during
turn-round, whether for powering lighting, galley
equipment, or climate control. Units for fixed
installation can be in a variety of configurations,
however these units tend to be mobile, keeping
heavy cable runs and therefore voltage drops
to a minimum.
These units are typically used for:
High current requirements during aircraft
turn-round for galley servicing and climate
control.
Start power for large turbine and turboprop
aircraft.
Service power for cycling gear, cargo doors
and baggage handling systems.
Power for anti-ice systems, diagnostics, fuel
transfer or hydraulics.
RBC6000 Range - 115 /200 Volt 400HZ Continuous supply
for AC Aircraft
For 115 Volt, 400 Hz AC powered aircraft, Red
Box can provide a range of frequency / voltage
converters, rated from 5 to 60 KVA. They can
be configured to operate from almost any single
or three phase supply. These continuously rated
units are for aircraft ramp, workshop, laboratory
or production line use.
They can have fixed or variable output
voltage and frequencies. Using highly reliable
semiconductor technology, outputs can tolerate
phase unbalances up to 100% and large
transient overloads for equipment with high start
up demands. The outputs can be monitored on a
LCD digital display, indicating all phase voltages
and frequencies, output power and effective
power factors. These displays can be locked for
simplified use. Together with clear information
lights giving the unit status, this makes these units
very simple to use.
Aircraft interlocks in both Military and Commercial
variants are available with override facilities
to provide compatibility with a wide range of
airframes.
RBC6000
These units can be provided in both a static and
mobile formats. Static units can be free standing,
bridge, or skid mounted for more permanent
installation, whereas the portable units are trolley
mounted enabling complete maneuverability
behind field vehicles.
Compact and lightweight static frequency and
voltage converters can be produced for any
industrial or marine application, offering both
multiple/variable voltage and frequency input
and output.
These units are in current use by NATO military
and can be supplied in military or other colours
to order.
These units are typically used for:
Ramp or field power during aircraft turnround.
Hanger or ramp power for servicing and
diagnostics; used for avionics, lighting,
ventilation & climate control, kitchen &
galley.
Service power for lighting and ancillaries
during domestic cleaning, maintenance,
training or demonstration purposes.
RBSC Range - The RBSC range of continuous power supplies
evolved from the power units that were designed
for the TC based product. A 50 Amp, lightweight
switched mode module was developed that can be
combined to produce DC outputs of virtually any
size, however the common sizes that have been
developed are 50, 100, 150 and 200 Amps. In
the aviation and military markets these units are
typically 28.5 Volts, however they can be fixed
voltage (2 to 30volts) selectable or adjustable,
running from AC input, ranging from 190 to
270VAC, 45 to 65Hz. They are normally 220 volt
based systems due to the duty of input current;
however other input voltages are available.
RBSC Range
Using switchmode technology, these units are
extremely lightweight and highly portable and
provide stable DC power for general maintenance,
gear servicing, avionics work, crew training or
weapons systems checks. They are available
for a wide range of applications for both fixed
and rotary wing aircraft, for commercial and
military applications. These units are also ideal
for laboratory or workshop use for maintenance,repairs, or calibration. The 50 and 100 Amp units can be used in
combination with Red Box RB50A or RB75A
portable battery start packs on a lightweight trolley,
to provide servicing and starting capability. For
aircraft applications they are supplied complete
with heavy duty leads fitted with 3 pin NATO
connectors and mains input leads to customer
requirements. Other leads with NATO vehicle
connectors, mil spec or amphenol are available
to customer requirements.
The RBSC units use our digital microprocessor
control system to monitor and control the outputs
and monitor several parameters. These units
display the voltage, current and system status.
They also monitor and control the voltage outputs
and the automatic charging of the batteries if connected.

TC Range - The TC range was initiated several years ago,
to meet demands from customers either with
larger aircraft than the hand portable pack could
support alone, or with larger operations where
several smaller aircraft are in more regular use.
This led to the development of two concepts in
highly manoeuvrable units. The provision of large
capacity batteries for start power only or with the
addition of high quality DC power supplies for
both continuous and start power.
The TC 400 series are designed for start power
only giving a maximum of 6000 Amps if required
in a highly portable package.
Compact GPU with extra high capacity
for Turbine Aircraft.
A compact highly manoeuvrable GPU which is
supplied with separate high capacity charging
unit. A weight-balanced design on pneumatic
tyres with an optional towbar, this GPU is fully
all-weather operational and is specially designed
for the heavy duty starting of turbine and turbo
prop aircraft. (3 capacities are available).
For use at fixed bases or on remote stations, these
units can operate in extremes of temperature, their
power cells have excellent standby characteristics
and do not need cycling nor have any memory
effect. The essentially dry lead acid batteries
are maintenance free and are replaceable on
condition.
The TC3000 series are a combination of the
400 series unit with addition of continuous DC
supply giving 50,100,150 or 200 Amps at 28
Volts and up to 6000 Amps for starting.
These systems are suitable for a wide range
of applications, from the supplying of auxiliary
power for servicing, pre-flight checks, diagnostics,
training or demonstrations.
They can be easily transported for use on the
Ramp, in the Workshop or out in the Field. If
required they can be simply and cost effectively
transported to a different location or transported
in an aircraft. These units can also be supplied
for fixed installation use.
