GPU Power Supply & Starting Unit
Model 3324

These GPUs are designed for ground use in performing starting and maintenance functions. The 3324 has a large battery capacity (78AH) with a 58-amp power supply when connected to 110 Volt or 220 Volt AC. This unit can be used in remote ramp locations using battery power alone and give extended time for maintenance checkout. When connected to AC power, the depleted batteries of this ground power unit can be charged in a matter of hours with the built-in portable power supply/battery charger.

We also custom manufacture units in various combinations of batteries and power supplies to meet the customer’s exact requirements (e.g. a 24 volt power supply).

START PAC MODEL 3324
SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION

The Model 3324 GPU is a combination power supply and battery pack.

Batteries	78 Amp Hours at 10 hour rate 24 Volt DC - 25.5 Volts at rest Sealed cells non- hazardous Valve regulated high amperage output lead acid 3200 Peak Amps
Power supply / charger	Multi- unit 58 Amp DC continuous output 28 - 28.5 Volt output from 0 - 58 amp load Battery recharge time from fully discharged - 2 hours AC Input - 110 Volt or 220 Volts (only 1)
Limitations	200 amps maximum DC load NOTE- When using more than 58 continuous amps, the batteries will make up the difference until they become depleted. On most aircraft, a low voltage relay will drop the GPU offline when the voltage drops below a preset level. Once the GPU is dropped off, it’s voltage will rise and will be accepted again by the aircraft, then will immediately drop off again. This oscillation can cause damage to aircraft components.

The following dimensions apply to each of the 3300s:
38"x21"x20" Handle Height 48".

Features- The GPU is rated at 3200 peak starting amps and a continuous 58 Amp DC output when connected to a 110 Volt or 220 Volt AC source. This airplane starting unit has a large battery capacity (78 Ah) that will allow extended usage time when no AC power source is available.

The 3324 weighs 215 lbs. and is pulled by hand or tug. Locking the handle in an upright position sets the GPU brake.

Always recharge the GPU until green charger light appears. Once charged, it is not necessary to leave the unit turned on. If a heater is installed, leave unit plugged in.

Avoid discharging the batteries completely as damage can result.

We also carry portable starting units powered by lithium batteries, other GPUs, and power supplies.

NOTE-- PLEASE USE #12 or Larger AC EXTENSION CORD

*** There are approximately 30 110 volt and 30 220 volt NEMA plugs in use. ***
Also, customers have various receptacle at their hangars and MRO facilities
and may require specific AC cord length to meet their requirements.
Due to these facts, we do not automatically provide AC power cords.
If you provide the NEMA plug number and specify the AC power cord length
you require we will build a cord to be shipped with your unit for a small fee.
