Magnus Power offers the LP and HP series frequency converters that incorporate full user control of both output voltage and frequency, and are available with either single or three-phase output.

The LP series is said to feature a 1kVA power module, starting with the single-phase output LP300 at 300VA up to 1kVA, and extending to the three-phase output LP1003 which is offered with outputs form 1kVA up to 3vKA. The output frequency for all models in the series can be set anywhere in the range 45 to 440Hz and the two output voltage ranges extend from zero to above the American and European standards.

The HP range is available in single phase output from 6kVA up to 36kVA and in three phase output from 6kVA up to 54kVA, for applications such as large test facility.

Any converter can be factory-set for a single output voltage and frequency if required. This facility is thought to be ideal for the generation of fixed three-phase 115/200V 400Hz supplies for powering aircraft equipment. For example, the LP2003 offers 2kVA and can be run from the UK 13A mains supply. Applications include aircraft ground power and factory electrical test facilities.

Both HP and LP series frequency converters offer full user control of the output voltage and frequency, and all are built to order. Magnus Power's Special Systems Division has a design and build service, which results in any customer requirement being met by Magnus Power.
