NACC has also teamed with Hobart to offer GPU's for our airport customers. This unit can be mounted under the passenger boarding bridge and we have the expertise to work with airport engineers and maintenance staff to ensure smooth project management for this important power access. Operation of aircraft APU with its low efficiency rate of 8-14% is subject to gaseous emissions and noise, thus often contributing significantly to the local air quality impacts and site noise impacts. To mitigate emissions and noise, fixed energy systems such as Hobart equipment can be employed to provide electrical energy to aircraft, eliminating the emissions produced by parked aircraft using its APU.

The Hobart 2400 Power Coil offers a highly reliable and robust design including a front plate in stainless steel. The 2400 Power Coil has an improved cable guidance system that ensures easy and smooth cable handling.

As a standard, the 2400 Power Coil comes with 79 ft (24 m) of cable (useable length).  The cable is rolled completely into the housing after use. The rolling cable automatically stops when the plug head is level with the lower edge of the Power Coil thus leaving the apron clear. 

Advantages of the Hobart system include:

• Weight reduction compared to the traditional solution with a separate converter and a cable coil
• Space saving
• One complete, tested and adjusted system
• Requires only mounting and mains input cable installation
• No cable compensation / adjustment needed
• Simplified mechanical installation
