R POWER DECENTRAL
The Hitzinger 400Hz R-Power Rotary Converter, for 400Hz Ground Power requirements, is an alternative to diesel-driven units. Using a 50 or 60Hz supply, the R-Power rotary converter can provide a clean source of 400Hz 200/115VAC power to meet the exact demands of the aircraft, with power ranges of 40-220kVA and other customs solutions available upon demand.
The de-centralised solutions, allows aircraft manufactures, contractors and airport operators (Many of which already rely upon the quality of the Hitzinger solution) to provide a local source of power, providing a resilient supply to one location. Centralised systems provide a distribution ring, while the de-central solution is completely separate and runs independently from surrounding infrastructure.
With over 65years of experience in designing and manufacturing turn-key power solutions, Hitzinger are markets leaders n rotating equipment and guarantee a reliable, robust, energy efficient and secure solution to meet your exact requirements.
