400 Hz Ground Power Units

400 Hz industrial alternators for aviation ground power units generator sets

400 Hz alternators for aviation ground power units generator sets Nidec Leroy-Somer, world leader in alternators from 10 to 35,000 kVA, has been manufacturing a range of special frequency products destined for the aircraft industry, for the last 30 years.
Expertise in design and manufacturing ensure that each Nidec Leroy-Somer product meets the technical requirements of this exacting application.
The 400Hz alternators are brushless, self-excited generators (Shunt excitation), with the D550 digital AVR fitted as standard.
They meet the principal international standards, notably: IEC 60034-1.
