Which Electromagnetic Components Are Used In
Aerospace Navigation Systems? Successful air
navigation involves piloting an aircraft from one
place to another without losing track or
breaking the laws, while also taking care to keep
the safety of those on board intact. Aircraft
travel involves relatively high speeds, leaving
very less time to calculate the position on
route. Moreover, it cannot stop in mid-air, which
is why the fuel amount should be checked prior
to flying, and the electrical systems used must
be of the highest reliable quality.
You can see how electrical systems are absolutely
integral to the performance of aircraft travel.
Moreover, modern avionics are complex networks
that are capable of creating, storing, and
distributing their own electrical energy. The
energy produced is with the help of generators
and alternators while, the energy is
distributed and converted with the help of
rectifiers, transformers, and inverters. The
energy is converted by voltage and current to be
used individually by every different system.
And, the working of this entire system, along
with the location, altitude, and flight path
monitoring systems, cannot be possible without
the use of electromagnetic. The three most
important and highly performing electromagnetic
components are transformer rectifier units, air
core conductors, and isolation power
transformers. Let us learn about each component
in detail. Transformer rectifier
units Transformer rectifier units are designed
and used to power and support a variety of
avionic systems. Available in a range of
differently sized models that are capable of
outputting power ranging from 10 to 400 amps,
these transformer rectifier units operate on
inputs of 3 phase AC
2
power sources. These units are available in 12
pulse and 24 pulse rectification models, and can
also output a range of DC voltages, with output
power that is more than 85 efficient. Air core
conductors Uniquely different from other
electromagnetic components, air core conductors
are wound around very light materials like glass
or PTFE, instead of a ferromagnetic core. In
fact, they could also be wound around nothing,
but air. This makes the conductor extremely light
in weight, which makes it ideal for flight
applications, as every element of weight counts
here. Also, these air core conductors can be
designed and manufactured overtly for VHF-UHF RF
applications, making them ideal for a variety of
military applications. Miracle Aerospace is one
of the leading air core inductor manufacturers
in India, whose products are ideal for any
application requiring high performance, just
like in the case of aerospace navigation
systems. Isolation power transformers Isolation
power transformers are those transformers that
isolate their primary windings from their
secondary windings, which makes them ideal enough
to protect both users and sensitive electronic
equipment. Thus, these are the most preferred
transformers used on flights, where electric
shocks are likely to short essential systems,
endangering the flight crew and
passengers. These three are only some of the
most important electromagnetic components found
to be used so popularly in the field of
aerospace. There is a very long list of many
other electromagnetic components used in
applications of navigation, communication, and
other similar systems.
