One of the most important aspects to take into account in order to have responsive, dedicated and effective 24/7 support online and overall peace of mind is, All of these aspects can be clarified with the help of our sales managers! Shoot us an email or make an inquiry to: wait, there is more to consider. The amount of load, the length of the cables, number of outputs from the unit (depending on the aircraft), sockets, plugs, the color, address of delivery and logistics. We are almost there, about to narrow it down… If not it could be a static unit: under a passenger bridge, inside an underground pit or hangar/shop. If your Ground Power Unit needs to be mobile: diesel powered or battery powered, with a cable input or a hybrid. Here we have compiled for you, a chart with the different aircraft models along with their needed GPUs: So now you know, you need either a Converter (400Hz AC) or a Rectifier (28VDC) for your aircraft!įrom here you need to consider some very important aspects ranging from the technical aspects of the aircraft to your business operational needs. Great! So like your home, a hangar or airport will have 50-60Hz AC current, that needs to be converted to 400Hz for all aircraft that use AC, or rectified to 28 Volts DC as per aviation’s unified standards. Most helicopters and small jets and aircraft use 28.5 Volts DC powered systems with the use of batteries. In contrast, your vehicle uses Direct Current ( alternator power must be converted to DC before it can be used in cars ). Most large passenger aircraft use Alternating Current at 400Hz (Agreed in aviation for lighter generators). Your home has either 50Hz or 60Hz frequency on AC. There are aircraft that use Alternating Current or AC and others that use Direct Current or DC There are many types of aircraft and many of them have different power systems and characteristics at different loads that make them in part common and unified, but sometimes also, quite unique.įrom the type of current to the type of aircraft and all other aspects to consider here, we will cover most of them along with the operational details you need to take into account to help you find the correct Ground Power Unit for your aircraft needs.
