5) Installation
A ITW GSE GPU requires no additional preparation in order to supply power to an aircraft. It needs only
to have its input cable connected to an appropriate source of power and its output cable connected to an
aircraft. Proceed as follows for putting the GPU unit into service.
WARNING
The method of installation, conductor size, and over-current protection shall conform
to the requirements of the local electrical code, the national electrical code, or other
national codes, as applicable. Qualified persons shall do all installation wiring and
machine reconnection.
WARNING
Electric shock can kill! Open the disconnect switch, or breaker, and determine that no
voltage is present before removing top canopy and connecting wires between the
input service and power supply or working on the power supply.
a) Locate the Cable Entry Locations
Input and output cable entrance shall be made through the cable entrance holes provided in the GPU
cabinet.
The GPU has an 1.75” diameter entry hole for the input cable on the rear of the unit. The customer is
responsible for supplying a suitable cable clamp.
The GPU canopy has slots on the side for the output cable. A cable clamp holds the output cable to
the unit base.
