A Ground Power Unit (GPU) supplies electrical power to aircraft on the ground for engine starts, avionics testing, and air conditioning without using the aircraft’s Auxiliary Power Unit. GPUs range from small mobile units to high-capacity fixed installations, available in diesel, gas, or electrically powered models. They’re essential for efficient turnaround, maintenance shops, and remote stands where gate power isn’t available.
Verify voltage and frequency output (e.g., 115/200 VAC 400 Hz), kVA rating, phase type, and compatibility with your aircraft fleet.
Inspect run hours, maintenance records, load-test reports, visual wear, cooling system condition, and electrical insulation tests.
Account for weight, dimensions, hazardous fuel or batteries, crating, forklift access, and transport permits for oversized loads.
Yes—declare fuel systems and batteries, provide compliance paperwork, and check country-specific certifications and import duties.
Follow scheduled engine and alternator inspections, oil and filter changes, cooling system checks, load testing, and electrical connection inspections.
