Compact GPU with extra high capacity for Turbine Aircraft.

Available in Mobile & Statically Installed varietys

A compact highly manouverable GPU which is supplied with separate high capacity charging unit. A weight-balanced design on pneunatic tyres with optional towbar, this GPU is fully all-weather operational and is specially designed for heavy duty starting of turbine and turbo prop aircraft. (3 Capacities are available).

For use at fixed bases or on remote stations, these units can operate in extremes of temperature, their power cells have excellent standby characteristics and do not need cycling or have any memory effect. The essentially dry lead batteries are maintenance free and are replaceable on condition.

The largest unit in this range is the TC400/28 which is a genuine 28Volt unit using 14 x 2 volt lead acid cells. This extra 4 Volts can be vital on some airframes which are particularly sensitive to the voltage of the ground supply, espescially during a heavy start or in arduous operating conditions.

Each TC400 unit is fitted with a digital voltmeter for voltage monitoring and low voltage audible warning device to advise when the cells have reached a Low State Charge / Flat Condition. A separate powerful 20Amp DC charger is provided with the GPU and is available in 110v or 230v AC, Power for feeding these chargers can be supplied from fixed mains or portable generators.

The units are delivered as standard with 2.5 metre heavy-duty aircraft power cable, fitted with a 3 Pin NATO connector. A 50mm, 'pin through', towbar is optional and units are ready to use out of the box.
