Product Name: RBC5000 High Current GPU

Product Description

When there is a requirement for 28.5 volt continuous power for heavy work on base, or for larger aircraft, Red Box provides Transformer Rectifier Units (TRU) which can produce up to 600 Amps continuously and 2000 amps peak power for starting. Also available in 200-600, 400-1500, 600-2000 models

 

These units convert direct from AC mains supply to 28.5 Volts DC using the latest technology, providing stable outputs capable of rapid response to a change in load. Together with remote voltage sensing, this provides high quality heavy DC at the aircraft.
 

They can be provided in both static and mobile formats and are ideal for supplying aircraft which require high levels of DC power during turn-around, whether for powering lighting, galley equipment or climate control. Units for fixed installation can be in a variety of configurations; however these units tend to be mobile, keeping heavy cable runs and therefore voltage drops to a minimum.
