Hamilton Sundstrand Awarded Bombardier CSeries Aircraft Electrical Power System
Posted on: Friday, 19 June 2009, 08:30 CDT
The Hamilton Sundstrand Electric Power Generation and Distribution System (EPGDS) performs power generation, power distribution and load management functions for the CSeries aircraft.
The EPGDS generates electrical power via two variable frequency generators and provides necessary interfaces with avionics and member systems to convey data and serve embedded utility loads throughout the aircraft. The EPGDS provides secondary load management through its five secondary power distribution assemblies, which receive alternating or direct current (AC/DC) power inputs from power centers, then manage and distribute the power to load equipment. Hamilton Sundstrand also provides emergency power, via an electric air-driven generator.
"Hamilton Sundstrand is proud to play a key role with Bombardier in the CSeries aircraft program," said
