Line Conditioners comply with MIL and avionics input bus.

Press Release Summary:




Offering 3 forms of protection and 50 W power range, Model PGDS-50 extends and monitors input voltage bus to provide continuous system protection against cranking, drop-outs, transients, and spikes for compliance with MIL-STD-1275A/B/C, MIL-STD-704A/D/E/F, EN2282, and D0160D/E/F. Model LGDS-300, with 300 W power range, offers identical compliance but with 2 forms of protection. Both are supplied in 1 x 1.5 in. package and suit high-reliability applications.

Gaia Protection Modules Provide Protection from Voltage Dips, Spikes and Transients



Line Conditioning Modules to comply with MIL and Avionics input bus

Gaia Converter, the specialist of high reliability power converter module, announces the availability of a range of line conditioning modules for dips, brown-out, transients and spike protection for Military, avionics and similar high reliability applications.

The first line conditioning module available from Gaia Converter has 50W power range. The product is designed to extend and monitor the input voltage bus to provide continuous system protection against cranking, drop-outs, transients and spikes to be compliant with MIL-STD-1275A/B/C, MIL-STD-704A/D/E/F, EN2282 and D0160D/E/F.

This line conditioning module provides three forms of system protection. During low DC input line conditions, it operates in "boost" mode to maintain a secure input voltage for the DC:DC converter system. Below this input voltage it will operate as power fail switch, shutting down the system to prevent damage from excessive operating currents. And finally it provides transient and spike protection up to 100V/50ms and 600V/10µs.

The second line conditioning module has a 300W power range. This product is designed to extend and monitor the input voltage bus to provide continuous system protection against transients and spikes to be compliant with MIL-STD-1275A/B/C, MIL-STD-704A/D/E/F, EN2282 and D0160D/E/F.

This line conditioning module provides two forms of protection. During low DC input line conditions it includes a power fail protection device providing a system safety shut-down if the input power bus drops below 9VDC. It provides transient and spike protection up to 100V/50ms and 600V/10µs.

Both the PGDS-50 (50W) and LGDS-300 (300W) families are optimised to operate up to 105°C without an additional heatsink for power supply systems from 4W up to 300W power. The modules are housed in a very small package of 25 x 38mm (1" x 1.5") making them ideal for integration in very dense and compact on-board systems.

All Gaia converters are designed and manufactured in-house in France in fully automated manufacturing and test machines.

Gaia Converters have offices in France, Germany and the USA and distributors worldwide. For further information visit www.gaia-converter.com, email info@gaia-converter.com or call +(33).5.57.92.12.80
