Diesel Ground Power UnitFDGPU-10

An exceptional small Diesel 28VDC GPU for business jets and helicopters. This FDGPU-10 is specially engineered for operation on diesel and jet fuel. An excellent solution for providing 28.5V to helicopter facilities, aviation hangers and training centers. This unit provides continuous  power and batteries for engine starting mode.

Lightweight and maneuverable unit is perfect for indoor and outdoor usage. Its relatively small size and extreme agility allows bringing the rectifier to any desired position. The intuitive interface is user-friendly, making the GPU easy to control. Equipped with highly durable chassis and mechanical braking system, this GPU is well prepared for heavy duty and harsh conditions.

* Compatible fuel types – Jet fuels with lower lubricity characteristics will prematurely wear FIE and engine components. Therefore, FIE parts are not covered under our standard warranty.

** Peak current – 2000A is a theoretical instant short circuit current across the battery terminals. The maximum amperage that will be delivered by the GPU the aircraft’s external power connection is significantly reduced with cable length, cable size and the duration of power. If due to jet fuel’s lower calorific value.
