Airfield lighting systems are essential for ensuring the safety of aircraft operations during take-off, landing, and taxiing, especially in low-visibility conditions.

arabel’s transformers play a vital role in these systems, enabling the precise voltage and current control required for consistent illumination across vast distances and challenging environments.

This is crucial for runway systems, as uneven illumination could compromise safety.

Operating in outdoor environments, transformers used in airfield lighting are designed to withstand extreme conditions such as heavy rain, fog, and fluctuating temperatures and even be kerosene-resistant.

Protective enclosures and corrosion-resistant materials safeguard against moisture and environmental wear, ensuring uninterrupted performance.

Additionally, the transformers integrate surge protection features, guarding the lights from electrical faults and storms.

In many cases, transformers are paired with Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), ensuring consistent output regardless of the load, and backup systems to maintain functionality during power outages.

This reliability is indispensable for aviation safety, where even a brief disruption in lighting could have severe consequences.

By delivering precise voltage and current control, durability, and reliability, transformers form the backbone of airfield lighting systems, keeping air travel safe and efficient, no matter the conditions.

And this is what arabel is all about, supporting leading airfield lighting companies to meet their requirements and optimize the performance of their fixtures and this for over 30 years.

Transformers are essential in ensuring that outdoor lighting systems meet the high demands of safety, reliability, and efficiency in these critical areas.

Whether illuminating a busy parking lot, guiding a plane to a safe landing, or ensuring boats navigate safely into a marina, transformers make it all possible.
