eTec BPM-100

The eTec Bridge Power Manager (BPM) provides an easy and cost effective solution to installing the eTec Minit-Charger family of fast battery chargers at most typical airport gates. The eTec BPM utilizes the existing 480V/3PH circuit that is provided for Bridge Power at each gate. The bulk of the power needed for the Bridge is only required for a few minutes when the Jet arrives, leaving the balance of the time with spare power capacity. The Bridge is always given priority when power is needed and the eTec Minit-Charger charging system powers down. The eTec Minit-Charger fast charge system automatically powers back up when the Jet Bridge is aligned with the Jet and the bulk power requirements for the Bridge are complete.

Features:

  • Compliant with Airline GSE “CANOpen” Communications Standard (CiA DSP 418)
  • NEMA 3R weather-proof enclosure
  • Programmable for various electrical supply panel ratings
  • Automatically reduces power to the Minit-Charger Fast Charge System when the Bridge is aligning with the Jet, and restores power when alignment is complete
