Curtiss-Wright‘s defense solutions division has launched a next-generation high-voltage power management system designed to stabilize turret drives to address the power requirements of U.S. ground vehicles.
The high-voltage turret drive stabilization system uses a platform’s existing continuous low-voltage power to convert 28V battery voltage up to 750V for precise maneuvering of high-inertia loads, such as medium caliber weapon systems, main battle tank turret drives and stabilization systems, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions said Monday.
HV TDDS includes a DC/DC converter, an energy storage module and a high-voltage motion controller, which controls and transports the electrical power to the drive systems.
The modular technology has an optional load dump protector module that protects electrical components according to industry standards and includes an inrush current limitation and reverse polarity protection.
