400 Hz Distribution and Control

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document focuses on the 400 Hz Distribution and Control systems, specifically the Gate Box and Line Drop Compensator Assembly by PAGE GSE. This equipment is essential for modern aircraft that require reliable ground power sources.

Standard Gate Box Configurations
Details include specifications such as KVA output, input volts, dimensions, weight, and UL certification. Only two outputs can be used simultaneously, with the others interlocked off.

Long Term Advantage
The system reduces power system fault risks, enhances reliability, and decreases the need for costly aircraft auxiliary power units (APUs). It also aids in meeting local exhaust and noise regulations, saving space, and promoting ground power use.

Gate Box Accessories
Accessories include floor stands, wall brackets, and telemetry cards for voltage and current telemetry.

Physical and Functional Characteristics
The Gate Box features a durable, weather-resistant enclosure with cooling and lockable doors. It supports various voltages and includes protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, and overload. Line drop compensation and fault detection indicators are included.

Operating Environment
Designed to operate in extreme conditions, the equipment withstands humidity, snow, ice, rain, sand, and dust.

Maintenance and Safety
User-friendly with minimal maintenance, the Gate Box includes safety features like door interlocks and safety shields. Components are easily accessible for repair and replacement.

Standards Compliance
Complies with MIL-STD-704 standards, ensuring high reliability and performance.

Cooling and Control Circuitry
Features independently controlled fans for cooling and control circuitry that monitors each output phase for faults, preventing false tripping.

Conclusion
PAGE GSE's Gate Box and Line Drop Compensator Assembly offer unmatched safety, reliability, and performance for aircraft ground support, addressing the latest requirements and providing a cost-effective solution.
