400 Hz alternators

400 Hz alternators for aviation ground power units generator sets

Leroy-Somer provides a complete range of 400 Hz alternators that have been optimized for integration in airports Ground Power Units. Sporting superior reliability and performance, Leroy-Somer 400 Hz alternators are the solution for powering grounded aircrafts.

Leroy-Somer produces 400 Hz alternators for reliable ground support power needs. These alternators are brushless, self-excited generators (Shunt excitation) that have high levels of performance. They meet most international standards, including IEC 34.1 and UTE (NFC 15-111, 105, 110…).

We can provide customization for special application machines upon direct request to suit your Ground Power needs for aircrafts. You can also contact us for Converter sets 50/400 Hz and double alternators 400 Hz + 28V DC with market-leading efficiency. Our 400 Hz range is specifically designed to supply electrical power to both military or civil aircraft and sustain outdoor weather conditions.
