Ground Power Units
Our ground power units provide reliable electrical supply for aircraft, military vehicles, and industrial applications. Available in 24V-28V DC configurations with power ranges from 25-7000 amps. The solid-state design offers silent operation, reduced maintenance costs, and environmental benefits through lower emissions and fuel consumption.
Aircraft Connectors
Specialized aircraft connectors ensure safe power transfer between ground units and aircraft systems. We manufacture 3-pin connectors and 28VDC interfaces to strict aviation standards. These components enable efficient ground operations while minimizing engine wear during maintenance and boarding procedures.
Transformer Rectifier Units
Transformer rectifier units convert AC power to regulated DC output for aircraft systems. Designed for reliable performance in challenging environments, these units meet demanding aerospace specifications while integrating seamlessly with existing ground support infrastructure.
Battery Carts
Battery-powered carts provide portable energy solutions for aviation maintenance operations. Engineered for durability and safety, these units deliver consistent power to aircraft systems during ground maintenance. The mobile design offers flexibility across different aircraft types and maintenance scenarios.
Static Frequency Converters
Static frequency converters ensure precise power frequency regulation for sensitive aircraft systems. Designed for stable performance in fixed installations, these units maintain correct electrical parameters during ground power operations. Essential for maintaining aircraft system integrity in various maintenance environments.
