Galaxy Series Ultra Lightweight RTCA/DO-160G Compliant Aircraft Grade 0.9-5 KVA UPS Systems

Description

WHEN EVERY POUND COUNTS! Nova’s Ultra Lightweight Galaxy-Series rugged, military UPS systems are high-reliability power sources specifically designed for demanding aircraft applications in high shock, vibration, humidity, and EMI environments in compliance to RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-810. These rugged UPS models utilize True On-Line technology, offering maximum field-proven reliability for severe environment and high reliability applications.

These are the UPSs of choice for all branches of the US Armed Forces, Boeing, EADS, and many other high profile airborne applications worldwide. Typically, these rugged UPS models have aircraft power input of 115/200 VAC, 400Hz, three-phase wye, although single-phase input is also available at no extra cost.

RTCA/DO-160G Qualified: Select units were tested successfully by Boeing and Rockwell Collins to meet RTCA/DO-160G for:

• Rapid Decompression: Section 4 Cabin Pressure (8K) to Max Operating Alt (35K) in 15 sec; Hold for 10 min
• Crash Safety Sustained: Section 7, Cat B – Up = 3.0g – Down = 6.0g – Fwd = 9.0g – Aft = 1.5g – Side =4.0g
• Explosive Atmosphere: Non-Ignition Test Sec. 9.6.2, Cat E
• Humidity: Section 6, paragraph 6.3.1 (Category A)
• Random Vibration Testing: Section 8 (Category R, Fixed-Wing), paragraph 8.7.2, Figure 8-1: Aircraft Type 2, Test Category S, Zone 2, Curve B
• Operational Shock Testing: Section 7 (Category B), paragraph 7.2, Standard operational, Peak value 6 g, Nominal duration 11 ms.

Additional Ruggedization to meet MIL-STD-810: The UPS System’s construction is extremely robust, and ruggedized throughout. All components and modules within the UPS are mounted using additional steel brackets and heavy-duty stainless-steel hardware, which is then further secured using Loctite and RTV where required. All boards are conformal-coated (Acrylic MIL-I-46058 Type R) for maximum resistance to potential condensation and fungus growth. For additional protection against humidity, optional low-draw heating elements can be included within the unit, and optional drain holes can be placed strategically in the base of the chassis to allow any formed condensation to escape.

DOD-STD-1399 Section 301A Table V – Design Limits for Ship Motion

Internal EMI Reduction Package to meet MIL-STD-461: The Ultra Lightweight UPS Systems shown herein are designed to comply with the requirements of MIL-STD-461E using shielded input, output, and data cables. Test data to other revisions of MIL-STD-461 is available for select models. (If the input and output cables are not shielded, additional filtering may be required for full compliance to MIL-STD-461.) All single-phase input units in this series are equipped with active Power factor Correction which allows full compliance to the input  current requirements of MIL-STD-1399 and the CE101 limit of MIL-STD-461.

Please note: Not all models and choices of input voltages and output voltages shown in the model chart have been formally tested for each of the following MIL-STD-461E parameters shown below. In such cases, Nova cannot guarantee full compliance without a formal testing program for your specific UPS configuration, available optionally. Please consult the factory for details.

MIL-STD-461E: CE101, CE102, CS101, CS114, CS116, RE102, RS101, and RS103.

Note: Qualification testing on select models was performed with optional premium batteries required to meet temperature testing requirements. Please consult factory for details.
