Description

The Vertical Power Primary Power System (PPS) is an entirely new approach to the master, starter, and charging circuit on your experimental aircraft or LSA. It combines the functions of multiple high-current, electro-mechanical components into a single, solid-state device that installs in minutes with plug-and-play simplicity. Plus, the high-reliability of the PPS means you won’t find yourself stranded on a deserted landing strip without the power to start your plane.

The PPS is a power distribution component that handles your aircraft’s high-current power. It controls the flow of power from the battery to the starter and supplies power to the Vertical Power VP-X (or a traditional bus) for your electrical system loads. The PPS also supports the charging circuit by completing the B-lead connection to the alternator (a basic system diagram is provided below).

The Vertical Power System

PLEASE NOTE:   The PPS DOES NOT SUPPORT DUAL BATTERY INSTALLATIONS – such as that designed for a Viking Aircraft Engine.  The PPS will only work with single battery systems.

In basic terms, the PPS replaces the contactor relays and a load of other heavy and older electro-mechanical devices for a lighter and cleaner installation.
