FAQ |
|---|
| Q1: What is the difference between 90kVA and 120kVA for narrow-body aircraft? |
| A: Most current Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft require 90kVA. The 120kVA rating is becoming more common for newer, more electrically demanding models (like the 737 MAX or A320neo with more electric systems) and provides future-proofing for fleet upgrades. |
| Q2: Can one GPU unit power two narrow-body aircraft at the same time? |
| No. Each aircraft requires its own dedicated GPU connection. The power system is designed to connect to one aircraft at a time to ensure proper power quality and safety. |
| Q3: How long does it take to install a fixed pit unit? |
| A: With proper site preparation (concrete pit, power conduit), installation and commissioning typically take 3-5 days with our technical supervision. |
| Q4: What maintenance is required? |
| A: Regular maintenance includes visual inspections, cleaning of air filters, checking electrical connections, and annual performance verification. We provide a detailed maintenance schedule. |
| Q5: Can this GPU be used with a 400Hz cable reel? |
| A: Yes, it is compatible with standard aircraft 400Hz cable reels. We can provide the unit with an integrated reel or interface with your existing apron infrastructure. |
