ITW GSE 7400 eGPU
A battery-powered 400 Hz eGPU in 90, 140, and 180 kVA variants — eliminating diesel or pit-power dependency for commercial aircraft ground power.
The ITW GSE 7400 eGPU is a battery-powered 400 Hz ground power unit designed as a direct APU replacement at gates and remote stands. Available in 90, 140, and 180 kVA variants, the unit covers the full range of narrow-body and wide-body commercial aircraft without any connection to a pit power infrastructure. The 90 kVA model carries a 160 kWh battery pack, supporting up to approximately 16 narrow-body turnarounds on a single charge under standard demand. The unit delivers 400 Hz AC power — and optionally 28.5 VDC — immediately from switch-on with no warm-up cycle.
With no combustion engine or rotating generator, the 7400 eGPU produces zero direct CO₂ emissions and operates at significantly lower noise levels than diesel GPUs, a meaningful advantage in noise-sensitive terminals, enclosed hangars, and night-turn operations. Charging is possible from any standard 50/60 Hz supply and can be scheduled for off-peak periods; the unit can also be topped up via ITW GSE's Power Share or DC Charger infrastructure.
Like all ITW GSE products, the 7400 uses a common icon-based touchscreen interface shared across the product range, reducing training requirements when a fleet already includes 2400-series GPUs. The solid-state power output section is derived from the proven 2400 Compact converter. The eGPU is the natural choice for airports under pressure to reduce gate-level emissions and APU noise, and for operators adding ground power capability to remote stands, cargo aprons, or existing gates that lack pit power.
