Falcon Electric, Inc. is also a registered contractor through the Department of Defense (DOD) Central Contractor Registration Program.

If your application requires commercial grade, highly reliable power conditioner, frequency converter or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) products, look at Falcon Electric’s innovative and unique GSA/COTS products. Falcon Electric has either directly, or through its OEM customers, supplied line conditioning UPSes and frequency converters for use by the Military and Aerospace for nearly two decades. During that time, our products have earned a reputation for performance and reliability. We are supplying products to NASA, all branches of the United States Military, federal and state government agencies and law enforcement agencies.

In addition to a full line of regenerative On-line UPS products, Falcon has evolved its on-line technology into the next generation of UPSes, DC-AC Inverters and 50/60/400Hz Frequency and Phase Converters. Our patented, double-conversion UPS technology gives superior ride-through protection, while continuously regenerating a totally new sinewave power with ±3% voltage regulation. Through innovative engineering, the same technology has been applied to our frequency conversion, DC-AC inverter and voltage regulation products.

Product Solution Highlight – Three-phase Load Balancing

Phase imbalance on Military three-phase, 400Hz power systems can be a serious and difficult problem to resolve. The problem is created when single-phase equipment is connected to one or two of the individual three phases. Other three-phase equipment connected to the same power system may experience problems as a result. Phase imbalance can result in high or excessive third order harmonics, tripping of circuit breakers and destructive over-heating or single phasing of three-phase motors connected to the same power system.

The Falcon Electric ED2KRM-3P models provide the ideal solution for powering single-phase loads from a three-phase power source, while maintaining phase balance. The product has been designed to accept a 115/200Vac, three-phase input. The three-phase power is isolated and converted to DC, regulated, and fed into a PWM DC-AC inverter. The PWM DC-AC inverter creates low impedance; 120Vac single-phase output with a ±3% voltage regulation. The output frequency is independent of the input and may be set to 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz. The ED2KRM-3P may be ordered with internal battery backup or without. If ordered without internal batteries, the unit has enough stored energy to provide more than 100 milliseconds of ride-through. A High temperature battery option is also available, and the internal electronics have been designed to operate in a 50ºC environment.

Product Solution Highlight – Single-phase Frequency Conversion Plus

Falcon Electric offers several families of single-phase frequency conversion products in differing form factors. Many accept a 120Vac input, with a frequency of 47-420Hz, and have a 120Vac output that can be configured for a fixed frequency of 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz.  Models configured as frequency converters will have any existing line or emergency bypass functions disabled.

In addition to frequency conversion, the on-line technology provides the highest level of protection against a widest spectrum of power problems, including brownouts, low and high line voltages, transients, spikes and line noise. Most models can be supplied with extended battery packs for long term backup applications. A DC start option is available, allowing the units to operate solely from a suitable DC source.

Board-level products are available and ready for integration into OEM products. When our input power factor correction board is connected to our UVS board sets, a .97-.99 pf with an input current distortion of less than 3% is achievable. These systems are presently used in products throughout the Military.

The products have many years of field-proven reliability in harsh environments. The applications include 400Hz to 60Hz aircraft frequency conversion, mobile generator powered applications providing voltage and frequency stabilization, 60Hz AC power sources on DC powered rail cars, shipboard voltage and frequency regulation, portable and fixed base communications power sources and International frequency converters operating from wildly unstable third world power sources.
