The Power Systems International Series of mobile 28vDC power supply systems are designed for aircraft engine starting and battery charging applications.

Its applications extend to: “point of use” at aircraft parking stands, in maintenance hangars or in avionics workshops, aircraft manufacture and training simulators where a rugged heavy duty and reliable isolated DC power source is required.

This mobile power system is designed for connection to the normal 50Hz (or 60Hz) 3 phase 400V mains source. Producing an output of 28V DC to provide all types of helicopters and small aircraft with a high stability power supply for charging on board batteries.

These systems can also deliver a current-limited, short duration peak power output for engine starting.

PS SERIES GPU

The PS range is smaller and lighter and designed to be positioned as close to the aircraft as possible.

The series also comes with wheels and rugged handles for manual handling.

The unit comes with a longer 50 or 60Hz input cable, and shorter output DC cable to reduce the considerable costs and weight of DC Cable.

SP SERIES GPU

The SP range is designed to offer the most flexibility where the aircrafts could required 400Hz power or 28vDC. This also comes in static and mobile options.

All units can be offered with a stainless steel casing, for the harsher environments.

The units can also handle a wide range of operating environments, with temperature ranges of -20c to +60c, and come with IP ratings of up to IP54.
