 - October 21, 2013, 2:00 AM

Carolina GSE (Booth No. C7621) now serves as the exclusive corporate and FBO distributor in the U.S. and other territories for JBT AeroTech, the manufacturer of 400-Hz diesel and electric ground power units, preconditioned air units and 28.5 VDC rectifiers, the New Bern, N.C. ground support equipment supplier announced here.

JBT now offers a redesigned JetPower system with a multi-tap transformer providing 208/230/460 VAC (and any voltage in between) for hangar applications. Another recent introduction, the JBT JetPower III/28, is a compact 28-VDC ground power supply designed to provide aircraft with power from a standard 50- or 60-Hz source. The unit comes in 200-, 400- and 600-amp versions and features a four-wheel cart for easy, single-person transport.

JBT has also recently introduced the JetPower mobile TR (transformer/rectifier). The TR provides 28 VDC from an existing 400-Hz system and supplies a fully regulated 28.5-VDC output with an optional current limit. Billed as a handy solution to support regional aircraft in environments already equipped to supply 400 Hz, the compact TR can support multiple locations because of its ease of transport.
