| Q1: What is the difference between this Ground Power Unit and a standard 400Hz power supply? |
| A: This 115V 400Hz Ground Power Unit is a complete, ruggedized system designed specifically for harsh airport environments. It includes features like a heavy-duty enclosure, cable reel, aircraft connector, towable trolley, and safety interlocks that a standard lab power supply does not have. |
| Q2: How is it connected to the aircraft? |
| A: It is connected via a standardized 400Hz aircraft power cable, which plugs into the GPU's output socket on one end and the aircraft's ground power receptacle on the other. |
| Q3: Can it power all types of aircraft? |
| A: It is designed to power aircraft that require 115V/200V 400Hz power, which includes most commercial jet aircraft and many military aircraft. Always confirm the specific power requirements of the aircraft. |
| Q4: Does it require special facility power connection? |
| A: It requires a standard industrial three-phase power connection (e.g., 400V/50Hz or 480V/60Hz). The input range is wide to accommodate various airport electrical supplies. |
| Q5: What maintenance does it require? |
| A: As a solid-state unit, it requires minimal maintenance compared to diesel GPUs. Routine checks include cleaning air filters, inspecting cables and connectors, and verifying system performance as per the maintenance manual. |
