ALC Powers the Lanyi, Taiwan Airport.

July 26, 2020

The Lanyu Airport continues to upgrade and recently chose ALC high efficiency, .99 percent power factor Ferroresonant constant current regulators (CCR) to re-power their vault. Through the efforts of our distributor in Taiwan, twenty (20) ALC CCR’s were purchased and will be installed as part of the airport’s modernization program. These CCR’s provide the required airfield power upgrade and lay the foundation for improved reliability and control of all series circuits. These CCR’s will also easily integrate with future upgrades of the airfield lighting computer control system and the conversion to LED lighting. This order is an example of ALC’s expanding global sales to meet the demands of airports worldwide for airfield lighting, power systems, signage and navigational aids.

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
