Aircraft and medical power supplies

Static transfer switches allow UPS equipment to be operated in isolated redundancy mode and are available with a power output of up to 1,600A. Static voltage regulators offer wide input voltage tolerance while maintaining closely regulated output power, which protects against over and under voltage.

Aircraft group power supplies (AGPS), naval and shore to ship solutions, as well as medically isolated power supplies (MIPS) are part of our range, with inverters, battery chargers, solar, rectifiers and DC power supplies.

Cummins Power Generation announced today the company's entire stationary diesel generator set range from 680kW -2,750kW, including the industry leading Mission Critical 2,500kW diesel generator set, has received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 interim (Tier 4i) certification for the North American market.

"Cummins has been a leader in developing technologies that meet all emission regulations ahead of their implementation dates," said Tony Satterthwaite, vice president, Cummins Inc and president of power generation business.

"I am delighted to announce that our Tier 4 interim certified generator sets are Tier 4 Final ready and fully capable of meeting the most exacting EPA requirements three years ahead of schedule. Our customers' operational flexibility is further enhanced with a clear roadmap to meeting EPA Tier 4 Final requirements in 2015."

EPA mandates that all non-emergency applications be Tier4i certified. Nonetheless, in certain locations, the local ordinances may require that emergency backup generators also adhere to stricter emissions limits. Because Cummins' stationary diesel generator sets can be configured to meet requirements beyond Tier 4i if necessary, Cummins generator sets are available to comply with the most stringent emissions regulations.

L-3 MAPPS announced today that it is has been contracted by DTE Energy to upgrade the Fermi 2 nuclear power plant simulator with L-3's Orchid simulation environment. The company will also provide DTE Energy with an additional simulator specifically to train field personnel on emergency diesel generator (EDG) operations. The project starts immediately and is slated for completion in the summer of 2012.

"L-3 has a strong track record of performing work on the Fermi 2 simulator," said Michael Chatlani, vice president of L-3 MAPPS power systems and simulation. "We are pleased to have this follow-on opportunity to advance the Fermi simulator using today's state-of-the-art technology."

L-3 MAPPS successfully performed a comprehensive refurbishment of the Fermi 2 simulator's computers, instructor stations and simulation models to improve the simulator's training effectiveness and long-term performance, while reducing operating costs.

For the current project, L-3 MAPPS will continue to advance the efficiency of the Fermi 2 simulator by updating all of the simulation computers to the latest generation, as well as migrating the models and simulator maintenance tools from the previous generation of L-3 software to its user-friendly, industry-leading Orchid simulation environment. In addition, an EDG simulator will be deployed, with virtual panels based on L-3's Orchid Touch Interface solution.
