L-3 Power Paragon is a worldwide leader in the engineering, development, manufacture and integration of power conversion and distribution systems for defense, governmental and advanced industrial applications. The company’s power conversion, power conditioning and power protection solutions can be found in a wide range of demanding military and commercial environments around the world. Power technology systems from PPI are virtually the “service standard” for the United States Navy and many international navies. L-3 Power Paragon also provides innovative airborne products to solve difficult power problems. The company’s power-conversion equipment delivers reliable AC or DC power to a variety of output loads with power demands of up to 15kVA. These devices can be found in many military and commercial fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
Medium Voltage Motor Drive (MVMD) - The new MVMD units supports U.S. Navy high-speed generator and propulsion motors. The MVMD modular design achieves greater efficiencies in a smaller, lighter package compatible with space and weight restrictions on surface combatant ships.
Static Automatic Bus Transfer Switches (SABT) – 50A-400A voltage, 3-phase, 440 VAC or 120VAC
The SABT automatically transfers critical loads from a normal power source to an alternate power source in less than ¼ cycle in the event of interruption or abnormal conditions. PPI’s SABT has been developed to protect mission-critical power loads on naval ships, submarines and other defense applications. As such, the SABT is compatible with MIL-STD-1399 and STANAG 1008.
Multi Class SABT
Advanced Degaussing System (ADS)
PPI’s ADS provides controlled current to independent degaussing coils installed in the hull of a ship. The ADS provides the precise current required to generate a composite magnetic field that counteracts the effects of the ship on the earth’s magnetic field.
Air Cooled Frequency Converters (ACFC) 60Hz- 400Hz
PPI’s ACFC represents the next leap forward in refined, stable and reliable power delivery to central and distributed 400 Hz systems such as weapons, fire control, ECM, sonar and avionics. PPI’s ACFCs comply with MIL-STD-1399 requirements for Type II power and STANAG 1008, Edition 8 and are compatible with existing shipboard data busses. The ACFC family includes units with ratings of 75 kW, 100kW, 125 kW, 150 kW and 175 kW 288 kW.
Fault Isolation Switches (FIU) 400Hz
With increasing growth in sophistication of military and government electronic systems, the need to protect power distribution networks against high-current overloads and fault loads is critical for mission success. PPI’s FIU is a unique and innovative device designed to limit the negative effects of fault loads, thereby increasing the flexibility and survivability of any power delivery system.
Static Transfer Switch (STS)
The L-3 Power Paragon Static transfer Switch is a world recognized fault-tolerant switch that is engineered to meet on-line reliability requirements of high-speed, high-volume switches throughout the industry.
- Transfer the critical load between power sources in less than ¼ cycle upon loss of primary power
- Accomplishes rapid transfer without cross-connecting power sources (allows for transfer between dissimilar sources)
- Precision digital sense and control circuits that do not require calibration adjustments
- Dedicated logic ensures fast and predictable operation at all times
- Modular construction maximizes reliability and maintainability separating power electronics form bypass system (front panel access to allow for safe lad testing)
Static Transfer Switch, Plug-In, Fault Tolerant Rack Mount (STS-PI-FT) {data sheet thumbnail here}
This plug-in, rack mount STS utilize the latest state-of-the-art, fault tolerant logic topology which provides an even higher redundancy of critical components than other STS designs in the industry.
Series STS – High Speed Digital Static Transfer Switch (STS-SP-208Y-150/150 Wall Mount)
This 150 amp STS automatically transfers critical loads from a primary power source to an alternate power source in the event of interruption or abnormal conditions.
Static Transfer Switch – Static Neutral Switching {data sheet thumbnail here}
Now, commercial and military air traffic control centers around the world can have ultrahigh-speed digital static transfer switches that meet the most demanding power-protection standards.
Static Transfer Switch – Intelligent (STS-I) {data sheet thumbnail here}
This STS automatically transfers critical loads from a primary power source to an alternate power source in the event of interruption or abnormal conditions.
