Airport Lighting Company (ALC) Switch Gear Regulator

September 23, 2020

ALC, a global provider of airfield lighting systems and navigational aids, is pleased to announce our new FAA ETL certified L828/L829 switchgear regular assembly (SRA) type CCR’s. These SRA’s are the latest addition to the ALC CCR offering of constant current power systems to meet the needs of civilian and military airfields upgrading and expanding their airfield lighting systems with a preference for an SRA that offers space saving design while incorporating Ferroresonant transformer technology that offer precision control of airfield lighting circuits. These new SRA’s are air cooled eliminating the need for any mechanical cooling devices as part of the assembly. Additionally, we offer both built-in IRMS and integral S-1’s upon request. Contact ALC today for further technical information and 0SRA design assistance.

Our Guide To Airfield Grounding And Bonding

Grounding and bonding are critical components of airport runway lighting systems, as they protect people, equipment, and electrical infrastructure during faults and support safe airfield lighting operation. Understanding how these systems work is important to your maintenance teams and electrical contractors when designing, installing, or maintaining runway and taxiway lighting.

How Airports Can Minimize Downtime During Airfield Electrical Maintenance

Most airports don’t have the luxury of shutting down their entire runway lighting system for maintenance, because even a short outage can affect airfield operations and aircraft movement. As a result, airport operators must develop detailed maintenance plans with specific procedures for isolating equipment, maintaining required lighting, and testing and

How Ferroresonant Constant Current Regulators Deliver Stable Power For Reliable Airfield Lighting

Field reliability of airfield lighting arrays demands absolute electrical stability. To mitigate utility-side volatility, airport operators increasingly deploy Ferroresonant Constant Current Regulators (CCRs). These systems utilize a transformer-based architecture leveraging nonlinear magnetic properties coupled with a resonant circuit to regulate output current precisely. This design ensures the secondary loop remains
