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

FCX SYSTEMS PRE-CONDITIONED AIR UNITS

FCX sells Point-of-Use (DX) and Air Handler (Central Systems) units from 20- to 150-tons, designed for maximum efficiency, reliability and ease of maintenance in any airport, airline or military application.

All units are equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to reduce blower speeds for substantial energy savings. The units are designed with optimal coil and compressor circuitry, which aids in lowering operating costs as well.

Removable side panels allow interior access to the unit for easy maintenance. This feature averts the removal of the PCA unit from the boarding bridge for any maintenance activities, which results in a significant cost savings for long-term upkeep.

Strategically placed vents offer industry-leading noise reduction.

All units use R410-A refrigerant, widely considered to be the most environmentally friendly and efficient throughout the industry.
