Check Out the Tronair ATA-24 Lineup

Want to know more about our aircraft electrical power systems? At Tronair, we offer high-quality solutions that adhere to ATA-24 standards, including ground power units (GPUs), solid-state rectifiers, battery carts, and chargers. Let's take a closer look at what this equipment can do.

Ground Power Units (GPUs)

Ground Power Units (GPUs) are critical aircraft electrical power components. They supply external power to aircraft while on the ground, ensuring their electrical systems remain operational without depleting their batteries. External power is crucial for running onboard systems, performing pre-flight checks, and performing maintenance tasks.

  • Pre-Flight Preparations: GPUs provide the power to run diagnostic checks and ensure all electrical systems function properly before a flight.

  • Maintenance Operations: During routine maintenance or repairs, GPUs power various aircraft systems, allowing technicians to work without relying on the aircraft's internal power.

  • Reducing Engine Use: Using a GPU prevents the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) from running, saving fuel and reducing wear and tear on the aircraft's engines.

Battery Carts and Chargers

Battery carts and chargers are designed to maintain and service aircraft batteries, integral to an aircraft's electrical systems. These units ensure that batteries are always charged and ready for use, supporting regular operations and emergency power needs.

  • Battery Charging and Maintenance: Battery carts and chargers keep aircraft batteries in optimal condition, ensuring they are fully charged and operational when needed.

  • Routine Checks: Regular battery maintenance prevents unexpected power failures and ensures reliable performance.

  • Emergency Readiness: Properly maintained batteries are essential for emergency situations, providing backup power if primary systems fail.

Solid-State Rectifiers

Solid-state rectifiers are an integral part of aircraft electrical power systems. They are designed to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) power, which most aircraft systems require. Rectifiers ensure a stable and reliable power supply to the aircraft's electrical systems during ground operations.

  • Power Conversion: Solid-state rectifiers convert AC power from ground power sources into the DC power required by the aircraft. This conversion is crucial for operating various electrical systems on the aircraft.

  • Stable Power Supply: They provide a steady and regulated DC power output, essential for properly functioning sensitive electronic systems on the aircraft.

  • Maintenance and Testing: During maintenance and testing, solid-state rectifiers ensure that the aircraft's systems receive the correct type of power, allowing technicians to perform accurate diagnostics and repairs.
