The range of military power supply solutions includes AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, DC/AC inverters, EMI filters and power factor correction modules. Eaton’s military AC/DC power supplies offer output voltages ranging from 2 V to 28 V and feature EMI/RFI shielding to withstand demanding environmental conditions. The company’s products comply with a range of military standards, including MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-901. In addition, the company develops modified and bespoke power conversion solutions to meet specific military requirements. These technologies are designed to provide a reliable and efficient power supply for mission-critical defence systems.
Eaton develops DC/DC converters for demanding applications in the military, aerospace and industrial sectors. The portfolio comprises converters with one, two or three outputs, designed for harsh environments and mission-critical systems. The converters combine highly efficient power topologies, advanced thermal management and six-sided EMI/RFI shielding. Eaton also offers solutions with various input and output configurations, including systems with 28 V and 270 V input voltages. The products can comply with military standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-1275.
Eaton’s range of active power factor correction (PFC) and harmonic attenuation modules are designed for use in military and aerospace power conversion systems. Designed to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-1399, MIL-STD-704E and MIL-STD-461, these robust modules are built to last. Eaton offers PFC modules with protection against overheating, overvoltage at the output and short circuits, in versions providing 100 W, 500 W or 1000 W. The company also integrates active PFC technology into its military AC/DC power supplies to support reliable power conversion in challenging and harsh environments and to help meet expected requirements.
Harsh-environment military and aerospace power systems are the focus of Eaton’s provision of EMI filters and transient suppression modules. These products reduce electromagnetic interference, suppress electrical transients, and minimise output ripple. Eaton’s SM1275 modules comply with MIL-STD-704A and MIL-STD-1275A standards, and its EMI filters support MIL-STD-461 requirements. These solutions help to protect and stabilise sensitive equipment.
For demanding military and aerospace applications, Eaton provides DC/AC inverters. Designed for harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference, its military-grade inverters convert DC power into regulated AC power. Eaton’s military inverter products can provide up to 1,800 W with outputs of 120 VAC or 230 VAC and efficiencies above 85%. They incorporate protection against overvoltage, overtemperature, overcurrent and short circuits. Eaton’s inverters comply with MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461F standards, supporting the reliable conversion of power for military vehicles and other mission-critical systems.
Eaton develops customised power conversion solutions for use in industrial, aerospace and defence applications. The company’s engineers use tried-and-tested power conversion topologies to quickly develop adapted or fully customised AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC solutions. These designs can be tailored to specific electrical, environmental and spatial requirements, focusing on high efficiency, high power density and reliability. For military applications, Eaton can design solutions that comply with standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-901. This approach enables customers to obtain application-specific power supply systems based on proven technologies.
