ITW GSE Hobart GPU-600

The ITW GSE Hobart Ground Power GPU-600 is a rugged, solid-state ground power unit engineered to deliver dependable 28.5V DC power for aircraft maintenance and engine starting applications. Providing a regulated 600 amps continuous output at a 100% duty cycle, this unit ensures stable, clean DC power for both routine servicing and demanding ramp operations.

With a maximum output power rating of 17.1 kW, the GPU-600 combines consistent performance with exceptional starting capability. The adjustable starting current ranges from 250 to 2,000 amps DC via a convenient front panel control, allowing operators to tailor output to specific aircraft requirements. A 125% overload capacity for up to seven minutes provides additional power when needed for engine start procedures without compromising system integrity.

Advanced solid-state closed loop feedback voltage control compensates for load-related voltage droop, maintaining precise voltage regulation under varying electrical demands. Automatic overvoltage protection trips at 31.5V DC, while integrated thermal overload protection safeguards internal components and extends equipment life.

Designed for global flexibility, the GPU-600 is available in multiple input voltage configurations, including 208/230/460V (60Hz), 220/380V (50Hz), and 230/460/575V (60Hz), making it suitable for international FBOs, airlines, and MRO facilities. Its compact footprint—38" × 32.75" × 34"—combined with a portable 650 lb (295 kg) design, 10-inch wheels, and swivel casters allows for easy maneuverability on the ramp. A heavy-duty steel lifting yoke enables safe crane or forklift positioning when required.

Built with durable all-steel construction and engineered for long-term reliability, the Hobart GPU-600 is a trusted, low-maintenance solution for providing consistent aircraft ground power in high-demand environments. Contact us today to learn how the GPU-600 can support your operation.
