PowerGuard TPS-24DCAC Military Power Conversion Unit — 4× DC + 2× AC Pure Sine

The PowerGuard TPS-24DCAC Power Conversion Unit is a compact, high-reliability power conversion and distribution system engineered by TEDEG Defence to deliver the multiple AC and DC supplies required on military vehicles and mobile mission platforms from a single panel.

The unit takes the vehicle's wide-range 16–28 VDC electrical supply and converts it into regulated 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 28 VDC and 36 VDC rails plus 120 VAC / 220 VAC pure sine wave outputs. Every power line is equipped with a front-panel 10 A thermal circuit breaker, an independent LED status indicator, and a military-grade circular connector.

The front-panel BLACKOUT switch extinguishes every status indicator in a single action, eliminating the unit's light signature under night-mission conditions. In surveillance, ambush, and night-movement scenarios, even panel LEDs represent an operational risk — BLACKOUT mode removes that risk with one switch. The switch operates through a relay group; only the indicators go dark while all power lines remain live.

Electrical architecture:

• Input: 16–28 VDC (24 VDC nominal), D38999/24WE6PN connector, internal 100 A input fuse
• Six independent power lines from the DC bus:

• Total system power: 3400 W
• AC waveform: Pure sine — safe for sensitive electronic loads
• Efficiency: DC-DC typical 80%, DC-AC typical 90%, minimum system efficiency ≥ 80%

Protection and control:

• Six 10 A push-pull thermal circuit breakers — one per output line
• Overcurrent, overvoltage, short-circuit and over-temperature protection
• Independent LED power-status indicator per line
• Chassis grounding stud, all module PE terminals bonded

Thermal management:

• Four 24 VDC fans providing forced-air cooling (underside)
• 60 °C thermostat engages the fans automatically
• Temperature derating: 100% full load from -20°C to +40°C; at +60°C, DC-DC modules run at 70% and DC-AC modules at 60% for continuous operation

EMI protection design:

• EMI gasket at the front panel–chassis interface
• EMI mesh across the fan openings
• Aluminium metal enclosure providing high immunity to electromagnetic interference

Mechanical:

• Aluminium enclosure, RAL 9005 matte black
• Removable front panel — perimeter-bolted for full access to internal modules and rapid field maintenance
• Dimensions: 420 × 350 × 147 mm (mounting envelope 480 × 355 × 176 mm)
• Weight: 17–20 kg

• In-vehicle military power distribution and conversion — multiple voltages from one panel
• Mobile command, control and communications platforms — 220 VAC office equipment and 28 VDC military radios simultaneously
• Field operations and forward-deployed equipment supply — AC power from the vehicle battery instead of a generator
• Reconnaissance, surveillance and electro-optical system infrastructure — pure sine for sensitive loads
• Industrial mobile systems requiring multiple voltage rails

The TPS-24DCAC combines four regulated DC rails + two pure-sine AC outputs + BLACKOUT mode + EMI-shielded design in a single compact panel. Conventional solutions meet this need with a separate inverter, separate DC-DC converters, and a separate distribution panel; the TPS-24DCAC consolidates all three into one 17–20 kg unit, substantially reducing in-vehicle space, weight, and cable complexity.

The removable front panel and modular power boards enable rapid field maintenance and straightforward integration across different platforms. D38999 and MS3102 military connectors mate directly with platform cable harnesses.
