Designed With Naval and Avionics Applications in Mind

Vanguard Electronics has launched a new series of space-saving power converters under the INRCORE brand, the company announced on 19 April.

The ATRU series [Auto Transformer Rectifier Unit] comprises units from 2-10kW power ratings and includes the TRU-12-2, TRU-12-5, TRU-18-5, TRU-18-10, TRU-30-5, and TRU-30-10 models. “There is an ever-growing and evolving need for smaller and lighter high-power electronics for current and future generations of aircraft and high energy systems […] The ATRU series meets those needs and represents a paradigm shift across all commercial and military applications. We coupled our high reliability design capability with our unique approach to high power magnetics to solve an industry need for higher efficiency, space-saving technology today and set a path toward the solutions of tomorrow,” explained Ryan Kooklan, VP and COO.

Ideal for those military and avionics applications in which space and weight are at a premium, the ATRU series of increased efficiency transformers was created to achieve size and weight reductions while maintaining an efficiency rating of above 95% and low harmonic distortion (<3%) throughout the design. Individual ATRU models operate at 12, 18, and 30 pulses, with each designed to operate in extreme environments, capable of being stored in temperatures between -60° to +135°C, with operating temperatures between -55° and +130°C. Common applications include naval electronics, airborne electronics, military and commercial aircraft, avionic flight controls, and radar and sensor mechanisms.
