The LPCU™ power service unit serves a function similar to that of a "Gate Box". In applications where the size and/or complexity of a Gate Box may be impractical or the cost of a Gate Box may be prohibitive, the LPCU™ power service unit provides the answer. Configurations are available to suit nearly every 400 Hz control requirement.
LPCU™ power service units are provided in several mechanical configurations and two electrical schemes. Mechanically, the LPCU™ power service unit may have its own enclosure or mount inside of other equipment. Electrically, the LPCU™ power service unit is capable of simple contactor control or full power quality monitoring. Either electrical scheme provides all of the control functions associated with 400 Hz aircraft ground power.
