ElectroAir will exhibit at PTE World (Passenger Terminal Expo) for the first time on March 17 to 19, 2026, at ExCeL London, presenting a practical solution designed to keep gate areas clear and operations efficient: an under-bridge frequency converter for 400 Hz ground power.
ElectroAir will also take part in the conference program with a speaking slot on Tuesday, March 17. The ElectroAir team onsite will include Ainars Fogel and Gabriel Salas, available to meet airports, consultants, and partners involved in terminal development, stand planning, and operational performance.
Bringing apron-side efficiency into the terminal conversation
PTE World is one of the few global events where airport operations, terminal development, passenger experience, and technology decisions meet in one place. While many discussions focus on the terminal itself, operational performance depends just as much on what happens outside the building: turnaround flow, stand availability, ramp safety, and reliable access to electrical ground power.
Over time, apron environments often become more complex. Temporary installations can turn into long-term fixtures, and above-ground cabinets, housings, and cable runs can accumulate around stands. This adds clutter, increases the risk of damage, and makes it harder to keep workflows fast, repeatable, and safe.
What is an under-ramp frequency converter
A frequency converter for aviation converts standard utility power, typically 50 Hz, into 400 Hz power used by many aircraft during ground time. Consistent 400 Hz power helps support aircraft systems during turnaround without relying on the onboard APU, improving predictability at the stand while supporting lower local emissions and reduced noise.
An under-ramp frequency converter uses a compact, under-surface installation approach. Instead of placing equipment above ground in the working area, the solution is integrated under the ramp surface, with interface points positioned where teams need them. In practical terms, this helps deliver gate power while keeping the apron cleaner, less cluttered, and easier to manage.
Why under-ramp matters operationally
Under-ramp 400 Hz infrastructure supports three outcomes that matter to airports and ground teams:
- Cleaner apron layouts for faster, repeatable workflows
Clearer stand areas can improve traffic flow and reduce day-to-day workarounds. - Reduced exposure and lower risk of accidental damage
Under-surface integration can reduce the vulnerability of above-ground equipment in busy ramp environments. - Improved stand organization for safer operations
Clearer layouts support more consistent routine behavior during fast-paced turnaround activity.
