About this file

This document is a product brochure for the ITW GSE 2400 Compact Ground Power Unit (GPU), which offers solid-state GPUs ranging from 30-180 kVA for aircraft ground power. The product features a patented Plug & Play voltage compensation system that meets ISO 6858 standards, providing unique voltage quality with less than 4V phase unbalance and a phase angle of 120° ± 2.5°. Key technical specifications include a 400% overload capability, power factor of 1, operation from -40°C to 56°C, and compatibility with various aircraft types from narrow-body to wide-body models like B787/A350/A380.

The brochure highlights several distinctive features, including a user-friendly operator interface, maximum personal safety protections, easy cable connections, and software updateability via USB. An optional Combi version is available that can simultaneously deliver both 400 Hz power and regulated 28 VDC, with current ratings from 600-2400A. The units are offered in fixed and mobile configurations, with protection classes of IP55, and come in various power ratings (30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 140, and 180 kVA). The product is manufactured by ITW GSE and marketed through Aviation Ground Equipment Corp. in Melville, NY.

At ITW GSE, we monitor the market and are at the forefront of new aircraft requirements and market developments. This has been an objective since we introduced our first 400 Hz unit to the market. And it still is ! Therefore, the ITW GSE 2400 Compact is designed to fulfil the ISO 6858 standard regarding voltage imbalance and phase displacement at the aircraft plug.

SMALL, SIMPLE, RELIABLE AND ROBUST

The 2400 series is the market’s best choice when it comes to solid-state, point-of-use units. It is small and simple, reliable and robust. It has all kinds of outstanding technical qualities from the unique output voltage, the smart ITW GSE user interface, soft-ware update via USB and the standard overload capabilities that matches all types of aircraft.

UNIQUE VOLTAGE QUALITY AT THE PLUG

MEANS ON-TIME DEPARTURES

Fixed installations often include a mix of long symmetrical and asymmetrical output cables as well as connection boxes that makes it difficult to keep the required voltage quality at the aircraft connector. This is exactly where ITW GSE’s patented Plug & Play voltage compensation system makes a difference. The Plug & Play system is based on a true individual phase regulation combined with a predetermined model of the actual cable installation. Therefore, the 2400 GPU provides an outstanding voltage quality at the connector thus ensuring on-time departures and happy passengers!

UNIQUE VOLTAGE QUALITY

The output voltage quality of the ITW GSE 2400 Compact is unique due to the patented Plug & Play system. The ITW GSE 2400 is designed to fulfil the ISO 6858 standard that requires max. phase unbalance of less than 4 V and a phase angle of 120° 2.5°.

The example to the right shows the voltage of the 3 phases at 35% unbalanced load @ PF 0.8 by use of a typical cable consisting of 65 m of 7x35 mm2 installation cable and 26 m of 4x70 mm2 flexible cable.

SUPPLY ALL AIRCRAFT INCL. PF1

The ITW GSE 2400 Compact is a true Power factor 1 ground power unit that allows for 400% overload meaning that it can be used for all types of aircraft from the narrow-body to the wide-body incl. B787/A350/A380.

THE ITW GSE OPERATOR INTERFACE

The ITW GSE operator interface is easy and intuitive. This is your guarantee for correct operation and on-time aircraft departures.

The operator interface is common from one ITW GSE product to another. Therefore, airport staff familiar with one ITW GSE product can easily switch to another as the icons and display are the same.

The operator only has to press the combined start/stop button.

Also, he can monitor various parameters such as voltage and current at the display screen. For easy set-up and maintenance purposes, there is a deeper level dedicated for the technician.

MAXIMUM PERSONAL SAFETY

• �Protective covers behind access doors to prevent accidental exposure to “live” parts

• �Supervision of neutral conductor rupture & leakage current

• �Supervision of neutral voltage

• �Detection of hazardous voltages at aircraft frame (by supervision of interlock voltage)

• �Avoidance of hazardous voltages in control wires through prevention of insulation failures in cable or plug

EASY CABLE CONNECTION

Connection of the rigid in- and output cables is easy since there is room for a very good manoeuvrability at the bottom of the cabinet. Further, we have integrated a robust bar at the bottom for cable relief. Access to the vital parts of the converter is extremely easy since those parts have all been positioned right behind the front door in a well-arranged way.

DOWNLOADS AND UPDATES

The software-based control system means your ITW GSE 2400 Compact can be updated and given additional capabilities in the future, simply by transferring new software from a USB stick/flash drive. Service log files and maintenance data can also be transferred the same way for analysis and to help ensure more efficient back-office procedures and more effective facility management.

ITW GSE

The ITW GSE 2400 Compact fulfils the ISO 6858 standard

Often, the same parking position accommodates a large mix of aircraft during a day. Typically, a parking position would require a 400 Hz source in the morning where the bigger aircraft are docking – but 28 V during other times of the day. Is this your requirement, the 2400

Compact Combi unit is the answer.

The combi unit is capable of delivering 400 Hz and regulated 28 VDC power, simultaneously and independently! The 28 V Active Rectifier Unit (ARU)

- available as a standard option - delivers superior voltage quality at the aircraft plug without jeopardising the 400 Hz voltage. It goes without saying that the

ITW GSE 2400 Compact Combi will power your aircraft, whether a narrow body or a turbo prop, whenever you need it!

Output Specifications, 28 VDC ARU

• Voltage: 28 VDC

Max. output power for complete unit is limited to the nominal rating of the 400 Hz part of the unit

• Current: 600 A (400 A) continuously

• Voltage regulation: < 0,5%

• Voltage ripple: < 2%

• Voltage transient recovery

Complies with ISO 6858 / MIL-704F

• Overload capability: 600 A (400 A)

1200 A (800 A) for 30 seconds

1800 A (1200 A) for 10 seconds

2100 A (1400 A) for 5 seconds

2400 A (1600 A) for 2 seconds

To protect the aircraft, the output voltage is decreased by 2 V per 600 A (400 A) in the overload range

600-2400 A (400-1600 A)

Complies with ISO 6858

Setup:

• Output voltage: 19-33 V

• Voltage compensation: 0-3 V (600/400 A)

• �Current limit: 300-2400 A in steps (600 A units)

200-1600 A in steps (400 A units)

Protection

• Rectifier temperature too high

• Short circuit at output

• Over and under voltage at output

U < 20 VDC for more than 4 seconds

U > 32 VDC for more than 4 seconds

U > 40 VDC for more than 150 ms
