28V DC Aircraft GPU – The Tronair Advantage

Tronair 28V DC Aircraft Ground Power Units

  1. SCR system – reacts much faster to sudden inrush of current, especially during a start
  2. Closed loop voltage control – very steady consistent power, less than 0.2 V RMS ripple, without any dips or uctuations in voltage under varying loads, newer aircraft are very sensitive to ripple, noise and harmonics, exceeds the MIL-STD-704 requirement
  3. One Transformer – helps keep system in balance
  4. Large 25kva transformer – more power for high amperage engine starting and less losses in
    steady state conditions
  5. More value for your dollar – start all aircraft and run the air conditioning
  6. We use two printed circuit boards to control the entire unit – one board controls the SCR ring
    and the other controls the unit voltage and current
  7. Our unit uses a thermocouple temperature probe in the main system transformer to control a
    variable speed cooling fan system – keeps the unit cooler and quiet – it only comes on as needed
  8. Long lasting control panel LED lamps – LED’s also act as fault code indicators for
    easy troubleshooting
  9. Easy input voltage selection on the main transformer – factory setup and easy to put into service
  10. GPU uses an emergency stop shunt-trip main input circuit breaker for the emergency
    shutdown system – improves safety
  11. Output contactor – safety, preview applied voltage, can’t drain aircraft batteries when off
  12. Output monitoring, warning, and shutdown including noti cation
  13. Outlet that matches local power – standard
  14. 20 ft DC output cable
  15. Safety controller monitors input and output voltages, phases, temperatures, and currents
  16. Current limiting (soft start) and current limit adjustment – standard
  17. 115VAC (220V international version) 20A receptacle – standard
  18. Shipping container – standard
  19. Built for indoor and outdoor use – standard
  20. Casters are designed for easy movement – standard

Available Model Numbers:

  • 112860S0100 – 60 HZ Voltage – 50′ Input Cable
  • 112860S0200 – 60 HZ Voltage – 100′ Input Cable
  • 112850S0100 – 50 HZ Voltage – 50′ Input Cable
  • 112850S0200 – 50 HZ Voltage – 1000′ Input Cable
  • 112860D0100 – 60 HZ Voltage – 50′ Input Cable – Dual Output

What is Soft Start on Aircraft Ground Power Units?

Soft Start on Ground Power Units – What is it and do I need this option?

This is a limiter that can be either added into the power cart during manufacturing or at a later date. It limits the output current of the unit and will allow the voltage to automatically decrease as more current is drawn from the unit.

Its purpose is to soften the inrush of current when the starter of a turbine engine is first engaged to protect the starter from being over torqued and the solenoid contacts from arcing. Starting current will be limited to approximately 1000 amps when using the “soft start”.

On inrush, the “soft start” drops the voltage as needed to limit the current to around 1000 amps in order to stay connected. As the engine spools up, the voltage will return to 28 volts. On some aircraft, the battery must be turned on in order to be able to inject external power into the start system. In this type of arrangement the aircraft batteries and power cart are in parallel. On a start, the engine draws power from both the batteries and the power cart. If the “soft start” is switched on the batteries will furnish about 80% of the power and the power cart about 20%. With the “soft start” switched in normal position, or out of the circuit, the reverse is true, 80% will come from the power cart and 20% from the aircraft batteries as it should. On aircraft where the start can be supplied from external, the power cart will supply 100% of the power.
