GPU 1500/40
28V DC Power Supply and Aircraft Start Unit

Product Information

The GPU1500/40 was originally developed in 2001 to provide continuous power for avionics use and starting medium sized helicopters and Air-Force PT6 turbine EMB110 Bandeirante aircraft.

This hand portable GPU only weighs 26kg (57lbs), yet incorporates an internal 40A continuous 28V DC output using split 20A power supplies. The modular design allows easy swap out and field servicing and also allows two GPUs to be paralleled to double the continuous output and battery capacity (GPU1500/40 Twin).

Each GPU is supplied with a power supply LED output monitor for load monitoring and diagnostics, and can be re-charged via its accessory port by any 24–28V DC aircraft power source, including the aircraft 28V DC bus connector.

The GPU 1500/40 is fitted with solid state voltmeter with ‘push to view’ button to monitor battery voltage. A spring-loaded output cover ensures the aircraft start unit is cleared for air transportation. Supplied with Nato lead set, input lead and heavy- duty canvas protective jacket.
