KR600 - Low-leakage transformers
to series circuit
KR600 is used to supply the current in the AGL series circuit and to provide a separation point between the primary
and secondary circuits. Thermoplastic elastomer(TPE) encapsulated KR600 series transformers are designed in toroidal
shape, which provides superior electrical performance. Toroidal is symmetric “donut” shape which ensure lowest
leakage inductance on top of the common features, which support single lamp control and more advanced control
and monitoring requirements. KR600 is the most energy efficient transformer in the market. Transformers are certified
by FAA and approved by IEC. They also comply with ICAO Annex 14 and several other national standards (MAK, CAAC)
Electrical characteristics
• Rated power 10 - 500 W
• Rated current 6.6 A/6.6 A , other currents upon request
• Rated Voltage 5000V/600V
• Power factor > 0,97
• L (leak) 20µH - 130 µH
• L (magn) 13.0mH - 64 mH

KR600 with or without earthing (grounding)
EFLA supplies transformers with or without earthing. The earthing is connected to the end of the secondary
winding in the side of the larger socket. This means that the thicker pin is grounded to the secondary side.

KRV & KRVS - Transformer
to parallel circuit
KRV parallel transformers are designed to be connected to a normal line voltage (for example, 230 VAC). Thermoplastic
elastomer(TPE) encapsulated parallel transformers are designed in toroidal shape, which provides superior electrical
performance. Transformers supply a certain voltage on the secondary side. They are typically used in helidecks and
helipads. EFLA has two types of parallel voltage transformers: KRV for single wires and KRVS for two-core cables. The
standard primary voltage is 230 VAC, the current rating of 20 A and the frequency of 50/60 Hz.
KRV KRVS
The KRV transformers are installed using EFLA’s standard The KRVS transformers are installed using EFLA’s
KD510-series primary connector kits or prefabricated standard KD501- and KD502-series secondary connector
cable leads and assemblies or extension cords. Also, end kits or prefabricated secondary leads, cable assemblies
caps KDCV01 are be used at the end of a circuit. and extension cords. The end cap KDVS.END is used at
the end of a circuit. The transformers can be connected
by using a prefabricated distribution connector KDCV.

The primary circuit is the foundation of an AGL system. Connectors are the most sensitive parts of the primary circuit
and therefore, high-quality connectors are the easiest way to increase the reliability of airfield lighting circuit.
EFLA connectors provide watertight and durable installation to any environments. Primary connectors are available
for screened (shielded) and unscreened (unshielded) cables. Fast and simple installation is guided with attached
manuals and visualized videos.
EFLA’s primary connectors are packed and delivered in kits including all the necessary parts for making the assembly
on primary cables. Each primary connector kit contains components for a pair (a plug and a receptacle).
Electrical characteristics
• Superior isolation resistance by thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Nominal rating: 25 A and 5000 V
• Cable diameter 8,5 - 19,0 mm (0.354 - 0.827 inches)
• Conductor size 6 - 13 mm² (8 - 6 AWG)
• ROHS compliance with EU directive NO2002/95/EC
• Available for screened cables and unscreened cables.

KDL C/W Cable Gland
KDL1 & KDL10 are the most robust and fastest-to-install connectors in the market, designed for a fast-and-easy
watertight connection between the primary cable and the series isolating transformer. The connectors allow a fast
mounting and assembly on site. KDL is fitted with unique cable gland, designed for industry experts requirements for
easy and reliable use. Highest insulation resistance is provided by three insulation barriers. Screen continuity without
crimping minimizes risk for leakages. KDL connector tolerates bending well and one connector fits to all cable diameters.
KDL connectors are FAA certified.

Fastest and the most secure way to build an AGL circuit is to use factory molded prefabricated leads. They provide
100 % adhesion between connector housing and cable, minimizing human error during installation work.
EFLA prefabricated leads and extension cords provide watertight and durable connection to any environments.
Prefabricated primary lead`s nominal rating is 5000 V/25 A and secondary lead’s nominal rating is 600 V/20 A.
EFLA prefabricated leads are manufactured and delivered according to requested cable length and they are available
with all FAA Style options. Special prefabricated leads that meet the frangibility requirement are also available.
KDCP510 & KDCR510 are used for connecting the transformer to the primary circuit. KDC primary leads guarantee
highest possible dielectric strength for AGL circuit, since cable`s outer sheath and all connections involved are made
from the same thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. EFLA primary leads are manufactured in accordance with the
specifications FAA L-824 MIL-C-3432, ICEA S-66-524, MIL-C-4921.
Primary leads are manufactured and delivered according to requested cable length and either in prefabricated leads
(connector in one end) or extension cords (connector in two ends). Primary leads fit with EFLA Lock, which prevents
accidental release of primary circuit.
