Description
Amerace Ltd. became involved with airport lighting in 1950 when production of FAA style transformers, i.e. without earth (ground) connection was begun to supply the Canadian market. In 1972 production began on an epoxy transformer without leads, including an earth connection. Typical leakage currents were less than 2 micro amps versus the 12 micro amperes or greater of FAA style neoprene transformers. After the consolidation of all airport lighting activity in 1984, Amerace accelerated efforts to export to markets around the world. This was aided by the availability of earthed transformers (ICAO style) used extensively in some parts of Europe or where European influence was strong.
