The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU is the market’s best choice for point-of-use 400 Hz solid-state ground power units (GPU).
It is small and simple, reliable and robust.
This 400 Hz frequency converter features a wealth of technical advantages, from the unique output voltage at the aircraft plug and the common ITW GSE user interface, to software update via USB and the standard overload capabilities that match all aircraft types.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU offers outstanding features such as:
ITW GSE 2400 GPUs are simply smart ground power units covering your requirements for reliable 400 Hz supplies.
Are you looking for battery-driven 400 Hz? ITW GSE 7400 eGPU a battery-driven alternative (eGPU) might be the solution!
Looking for 270 VDC power supply? Check out the ITW GSE 2400 - 270 VDC.
Looking for 28V DC? Choose between the battery driven 7400 eGPU JetEx or the solite state ITW GSE 1400 GPU.
At ITW GSE, we have always kept a close eye on market trends and worked to stay at the forefront of new developments and technologies. No surprise, then, that the 2400 Compact was designed to comply with ISO 6858, which defines standards for voltage imbalance and phase displacement at the aircraft plug In fact, we are even third-party approved.
Available ratings:
30-45-60-90-120-140-180 kVA
Combi Compact version with 28 VDC ARU
Versions
Fixed, mobile, PBB-mounted
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact meets the requirements to pass several technical tests, including:
At most airports, a given parking position must accommodate a large variety of aircraft every day. When larger aircraft are docking in the morning, a 400 Hz source is needed. Later, a 28 V is often required.
If this scenario sounds familiar, the 2400 Compact Combi, formerly sold under the AXA Power and Hobart brand names, is your answer.
The combi unit is capable of delivering 400 Hz and regulated 28 VDC power, simultaneously and independently.
The 28 V Active Rectifier Unit (ARU), available as a standard option, delivers superior voltage quality at the aircraft plug without jeopardising the 400 Hz voltage.
The 2400 Compact Combi powers everything from narrow-body aircraft to turbo-prop planes, whenever the need arises.
Available in mobile and fixed version – see the ITW GSE 2400 brochure for more information.
Fixed 400 Hz installations often include a mix of long symmetrical and asymmetrical output cables, as well as various connection boxes, making it difficult to maintain the required voltage quality at the aircraft connector. This is exactly where ITW GSE’s Plug & Play voltage compensation system makes a difference. The Plug & Play system is based on true individual phase regulation combined with a predetermined model of the actual cable installation. As a result, the 2400 provides outstanding voltage quality at the connector, ensuring on-time departures and happy customers.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU is designed to operate within EcoGate environments, delivering stable aircraft power while integrating seamlessly with other connected units.
Within an EcoGate setup, the 2400 GPU ensures aircraft demand always takes priority. When paired with EcoGate-enabled equipment such as the ITW GSE Power Share or DC Charger, available capacity can support additional electric loads — all within existing grid limits.
This creates a reliable and scalable platform for expanding electrified ground operations without compromising aircraft performance.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU is designed to handle peak aircraft loads. In daily operation, this often leaves available capacity that can be put to better use.
With ITW GSE Power Share, this capacity can be redistributed to charge eGPUs or power other AC equipment — without exceeding existing grid limits.
Power Share can be installed directly on a fixed 2400 GPU or connected independently to a GPU or PCA. Aircraft demand is always prioritized. When capacity is constrained, non-essential loads are temporarily disconnected and automatically restored once power becomes available.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU can be paired with the ITW GSE DC Charger to support high-voltage opportunity charging directly at the gate or parking stand.
By utilizing available capacity from the GPU, electric ground support equipment can be charged close to operations — all within existing grid limits. Aircraft demand always takes priority.
This integration enables practical, scalable fleet electrification without additional infrastructure investment.
Until 2018, the ITW GSE 2400 GPU was sold under the AXA Power and Hobart brands.

The 2400 Compact GPU is designed to supply 400 Hz power to all aircraft types, including narrow- and wide-body commercial aircraft, business jets, and military platforms.
Its performance is fully compliant with ISO 6858 standards and aircraft power requirements.
The 2400 features ITW GSE’s advanced Plug & Play system, which ensures the correct voltage at the aircraft plug regardless of load or cable length.
This reduces the risk of undervoltage-related faults and helps avoid costly delays.
The unit’s solid-state design significantly reduces maintenance requirements, and its high energy efficiency helps lower electricity consumption.
Combined, these factors contribute to a reduced total cost of ownership over the unit’s lifecycle.
Yes. The 2400 is fully compatible with ITW GSE’s EcoGate system, allowing it to share power intelligently with PCAs and other connected equipment, optimizing gate power usage without overloading existing infrastructure.
The unit supports a variety of configurations including stand-alone, bridge-mounted, and pit installations. For a more streamlined setup, you may also consider the ITW GSE 2400 Power Coil - a compact system that integrates power supply and cable management in a single enclosure.
