Revolutionary Versatility for Passenger and
Utility Power in the Aircraft Cabin
Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ:ATRO), a leading supplier of
advanced technologies and products to the global aerospace, defense
and semiconductor industries, announced today that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems (AES), has added
the Dual Frequency Converter Unit (DFCU) to its EmPOWER® system
line of products for the business and VVIP jet industries.
A revolutionary departure from traditional converters, the DFCU
produces 4,000 watts of either 115 or 230 volts AC to support
passenger and utility power anywhere in the world. The new DFCU
incorporates Astronics’ latest solid-state electronic circuit
breaker (ECB) technology and offers programmable ECB outputs that
can be custom configured to each cabin, eliminating the need for a
secondary distribution panel and saving both cost and weight.
The DFCU is now commercially available and is already designed
into an initial customer aircraft.
“The Astronics Dual Frequency Converter Unit provides a uniquely
simple and versatile cabin power system for the large business jet
aircraft. A single box solution, the DFCU not only provides
passengers with convenient power to charge their hand held
electronics, but it also provides higher power for galley and
lavatory devices,” says Kellsey Justus, Vice President of Airborne
Power and Control at Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems.
For over 20 years, Astronics AES has delivered intelligent power
management systems to the world’s aerospace industry. The patented
EmPOWER® system is currently in service with over 200 Airline/OEM
customers at over 1,000,000 seat locations. Located in Kirkland,
Washington, Astronics AES is an industry-leading manufacturer of
aircraft electrical power systems, including power generation and
distribution. For more details on aircraft electrical power, visit
