APU 400 E

Product catalog summary
Application
The APU 400E is a mobile ground power unit designed for indoor use, providing 14/28VDC power for aircraft, including engine, turbine, and turboprop aircraft, as well as helicopters. It is suitable for both military and civilian sectors, supporting service and function checks, engine starts, battery charging and discharging, and powering vehicle electrical systems without a battery. It can handle up to 400A for various onboard systems.

Design
The APU 400E model HANGAR features a stabilized output voltage with two model variants: 28VDC and switchable 14/28VDC. It includes electronically controlled fixed voltage and adjustable current limitation from 10% to 100%. The unit supports two operating modes: service/engine wash and engine start. It can handle continuous operation at 400A, with overload capabilities up to 1000A for short durations and a peak of 1600A. The design includes a 230VAC Schuko socket, a user-friendly control panel, and is compliant with IEC, EN, VDE, and CE standards. The unit is mobile, with a steel housing, pneumatic wheels, and a lockable main switch with an emergency stop function.

Standard Equipment
The APU 400E comes with a 15m mains connection cable, a lockable main switch, a protected control panel with digital displays, and a 5m onboard connection cable with a robust aircraft plug. It features soft start, overload protection, and various monitoring devices. The unit is efficient, lightweight, and easy to maintain.

Ordering Data
The document provides ordering information for two models: APU 400E 1SF1-1101-11120 (28VDC) and APU 400E 1SF1-2101-11120 (14/28VDC switchable), both weighing approximately 120 kg with dimensions of 1130 x 730 x 835 mm. Options include longer mains cables, different socket outlets, and special paint finishes.

Options
Additional options include extended mains cables, various socket outlets with galvanic isolation, and special paint finishes in different colors, including MIL standard and custom specifications.
