The TLD GPU-409-E-CUP aircraft ground power unit features an optimized 1,846 RPM brushless revolving field generator that efficiently produces 90 kVA (72 kW) of 400 Hz AC power to start and service aircraft. This unit is also equipped with the 28.5VDC option, providing added versatility to support aircraft requiring DC ground power.

Designed with operators in mind, the GPU-409-E-CUP delivers full-size performance in a compact footprint, allowing for easier handling and improved mobility during aircraft maintenance and ground operations. Reduced sound levels also help enhance passenger and operator comfort.

Powder-coated aluminum and fiberglass panels surround a rugged galvanized steel chassis, providing a durable yet lightweight alternative to traditional ground support equipment designs. Mobility is enhanced by a rubber torsion axle, tight-turn-radius fifth-wheel steering, simple direct-acting brakes, and a safe no-drop towbar.

With 90 kVA 400 Hz AC power plus installed 28.5VDC capability, this GPU provides a flexible ground power solution for a wider range of aircraft and operational requirements.
