OM2250 Rev 0 - June 23 2016 Operation Manual - Hobart 2400 Power Coil – 60 - 90 kVA General Description Capacitor Board (A5): This module includes the following functions: Input RFI filters to reduce the EMI/EMC emission into the mains to such a level that surrounding equipment is not disturbed.
Page 9
OM2250 Rev 0 - June 23 2016 Operation Manual - Hobart 2400 Power Coil – 60 - 90 kVA General Description Output Transformer (T2): The output transformer ensures galvanic separation between input and output. It also transforms the voltages from the Inverter Module into the required aircraft voltage (3 x 200/115 V). The filter choke for the output AC-filter is an integral part of the transformer.

OM2250 Rev 0 - June 23 2016 Operation Manual - Hobart 2400 Power Coil – 60 - 90 kVA General Description Display Board & Keyboard (A3 / A4): The display module serves as the interface for daily operation. The display communicates with the Control Board via a CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and can be placed up to 100 m away from the unit, when using the Remote Control Box.
OM2250 Rev 0 - June 23 2016 Operation Manual - Hobart 2400 Power Coil – 60 - 90 kVA General Description Built in features / protections No Break Power Transfer: The unit is protected against misalignment during a No Break Power Transfer.

For change of setting please refer to section 6.3. Note! An additional protection method offered by ITW GSE as an option is the Neutral Conductor Rupture (NCR). The supervision is based on the presence of an injected current in the neutral conductor (i.e. as long as the injected current is present, the neutral is intact).
The Hobart 2400 Power Coil is delivered on a specially designed wooden pallet. Transport and mounting of the Hobart 2400 Power Coil is carried out by lifting the unit by a fork-lift, truck or the like to the intended mounting position while it is still placed and firmly fixed to on the pallet. For safety reasons, the passenger boarding bridge should be placed in a horizontal position at the lowest possible height above ground before lifting is started.
