TRU-28 - Transformer Rectifier

Designed in collaboration with Powervamp and built to the highest industry standards (MILSTD 704, ISO 6858), it produces the highest quality output signal with minimal AC ripple and is guaranteed to be accepted by all DC aircraft.

The 12 pulse rectification technology used ensures a low input total harmonic distortion at nominal loads, adding to the efficiency of the system.

The TRU–28 produces a regulated 28V DC output and can deliver a constant current of 600A with engine starting peaks of up to 2400A. The current limiting feature enables the user to limit the output current to the aircraft and can be accessed and set via the digital display. The user can access the line drop compensation feature via the display menu to increase/decrease the output voltage at the plug within the limits of ISO 6858.

The TRU–28 is a compact solid state module built to IP55 protection, designed for internal/external fixed or mobile use. With its weather-resistant, stainless steel case with large caster wheels, the unit can be easily moved by hand over uneven surfaces.

Power consumption is reduced by the unique ‘wake/sleep’ feature which powers down the TRU–28 after sensing that there has been no current draw for a pre-set time.

This unit includes a 100-foot (30.48 m) input cable and a 20-foot (6.1 m) output cable. Cables are pig-tailed and plug-ready (no plug included).

The TRU-28 is available in two main configurations:

• USA Model (AERO Product ID: 2010374 [White Color]) 
  Input Three Phase: 208V-480V three-phase 60Hz
