  • Page 5: General Description

      INTRODUCTION The model TC2000 Series Static Electrical Power Converter is a lightweight power converter that translates an aircraft alternating current (AC) input of 115 volts at 360-800 Hertz to a 28 volt direct current (DC) output. Additionally the TC2000 can be bench operated on AC Mains with 115 or 230 volts at 47-65 Hz input and provide a 28 volt direct current (DC) output (see Note 1 below).
