The ITW GSE Hobart JetEx5D is a powerful, diesel-driven ground power unit engineered to deliver 800 amps of regulated 28.5V DC power for aircraft maintenance and engine starting operations. Its advanced "Soft-Start" current limiting feature protects aircraft starter components by controlling inrush current during engine starts — a critical safeguard recommended by most engine manufacturers. The continuously adjustable current limit allows operators to dial in the perfect starting current for any aircraft type, from light helicopters at 300 amps to heavy wide-body jets requiring the full 2,000 amp capability. Available with your choice of Deutz or Cummins diesel engine to match your operational and maintenance preferences. Contact us today to add the reliable JetEx5D to your ground power fleet.
