400Hz Aircraft Ground Power Cable for Airport GPU Systems
400Hz aircraft ground power cable for airport GPU and GSE systems, with 4 x 70 mm2 tinned extra-flexible power conductors, 4 x 1 mm2 control wires and a halogen-free PUR sheath. Send voltage, size, length, movement duty and connector requirements for a technical quotation.
TEBAOFLEX 400Hz aircraft ground power cable for airport GPU systems, apron power supply, passenger boarding bridges and related ground support equipment. The SII 4x1x70 + 4×1 construction combines four 70 mm2 tinned extra-flexible power conductors with four 1 mm2 tinned control wires in a halogen-free, PUR-sheathed cable. It is intended for projects that need power and control functions in one flexible aviation ground-power cable. The reference construction is rated 600/1000 V, with a stated 207 A per phase at +30 C ambient temperature and a 388 mm minimum bending radius for quad conductors. Confirm the ordered size, connector arrangement, installation movement, colour and documentation scope before procurement.
400Hz Ground Power Cable Construction
The reference SII construction combines four power cores and four control cores under halogen-free PUR layers. The integrated control conductors keep GPU control or monitoring wiring with the power route, while the extra-flexible tinned conductors support handling around airport GSE and apron connections.
| Layer or element | Verified reference construction | Selection meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Power conductors | 4 x 70 mm2 tinned extra-flexible copper, IEC 228 Class 6; 2205 tinned wires, 0.20 mm wire diameter | Flexible four-phase power path for aircraft GPU service |
| Control wires | 4 x 1 mm2 tinned flexible conductors; black, red, yellow and green | Routes control and monitoring conductors with the power cores |
| Control insulation | XLPE 90 C, halogen-free, according to EN 50363-5 | Defined insulation system for the control elements |
| Inner and outer sheath | PUR, halogen-free; outer sheath orange or yellow | Specify colour and handling requirements with the RFQ |
The supplied product set also includes a 4 x 95 mm2 reference image. Confirm whether that size, the 4 x 70 mm2 construction, or another conductor size is required for the project before production.
400Hz Aircraft GPU Cable Applications
Use this cable family where an airport ground-power route must carry 400Hz aircraft power and associated control wiring together. The PUR jacket and high-flexibility construction are intended for equipment and apron environments, subject to the ordered construction and installation conditions.
- Aircraft 400Hz ground power supply systems and GPU cable assemblies
- Mobile ground power units and airport ground support equipment
- Passenger boarding bridge and grounded-pit power routes
- Apron, hangar and MRO aircraft power connection systems
- Cable harnesses or connector-ready assemblies for GSE projects
Buyer selection checks
Send voltage, conductor size, control-core arrangement, cable length, quantity, connector type, reel or routing method, minimum bend requirement, sheath colour and required inspection or documentation scope. Continuous reeling, drum-retriever and fixed routes can require different constructions; confirm the movement duty before substitution.
