FCX has a well-documented history of providing innovative solutions, as well as service, quality and technical competence. With 24/7 sales and service support, we are able to respond quickly to any situation. All of this adds up to value–in dollars and cents, time and service, quality and responsiveness.

 

Line Drop Compensators / Gate Box

The FCX Line Drop Compensator (LDC) is designed to cancel out the inductive voltage drop in 400Hz transmission lines. Voltage drop in the cables carrying 400 Hz power is much greater than if the same cable were carrying 60 Hz power. Left uncorrected, the aircraft may reject the power feed due to low voltage. The LDC is connected in series with the cable run to the 400Hz Service Point and improves voltage by cancelling out the voltage drop due to 400Hz AC reactance of the cable. The LDCs are available in ratings with up to 20% compensation capability.
  • Ratings Available - 15 KVA through 180 KVA
  • Efficiency - approximately 99%
  • NEMA 3R equivalent enclosure
  • Over boosting protection
  • DC power supplies for electronics and alarm
  • Switch gear interlocking capabilities
  • Cabinet grounding connection for bonding
  • Conformal coated circuit boards
  • Stackable
60kva-180kva Gates boxes with LDC. LDC's of various sizes for all applications
 

270 VDC Power Converters

The performance of FCX Systems 270 VDC Power is flight line and production line proven - we are 270 VDC from the ground up. Installation sites include main production and test sites, such as: Lockheed Martin F-35 Assembly in Fort Worth TX, Navy F-35 T&E NAS Patuxent River MD, and JSF ITF Facility at Edwards AFB CA. FCX Systems precision 270 VDC equipment is the preferred and best power of choice for all 270 VDC applications.

BENEFITS OF 270 VDC IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY
  • Most experienced designer, manufacturer, and supporter of 270 VDC ground power systems.
  • FCX offers 270 VDC for every application, and can meet the high dynamic response required by the F-35 and F-22.
  • Monitor and protect your aircraft and other sensitive loads from transients and abnormal power conditions.
  • FCX 270 VDC power delivers precise regulation, rapid response and recovery - built to perform, and to last.
  • "It was a pleasure testing a product that easily met or exceeded all requirements and expectations." - Lockheed Martin F-22 Ground Power Qualification Test Manager.

Shore Power

FCX designs and manufactures all aspects of large KVA Frequency Conversion Systems for Single and Multiple Frequency Applications as well as Single and Multiple Berth Configurations. Using the most advanced solid-state technology available, FCX produces all aspects of large KVA Frequency Conversion Systems to convert any conventional electrical power to either 60 Hz or 50 Hz power for dock/port applications. Each solid-state converter is configured in a vertical, stand alone NEMA 12 rated cabinet (Stainless steel, NEMA 4X, enclosures are available). These converters offer the most advanced solid-state technology, which enables these high performance power units to convert any conventional electrical power to either 60 Hz or 50 Hz power for your dock application. This allows service to all ships at facilities with shore power, regardless of electrical design of the ship. In today’s “service”-driven world, FCX is capable of providing the best in shore power for all ships worldwide. The FCX Shore Power compact solution dramatically reduces ship emissions as well as noise and vibration from ships in port . . . at a lower operating and maintenance cost than motor generator sets or running the ship’s motors.
