When you’re turning aircraft fast or maintaining avionics with precision, clean, dependable power is non-negotiable. That’s where the Jetall 60 KVA ground power unit steps in—a sweet spot of capacity, portability, and efficiency for modern flight lines and MRO facilities. Backed by a manufacturer whose engine-driven and plug-in GPU models (with the JTL prefix) have been on the market since 2003, Jetall units meet or exceed the existing published standards and deliver rock-solid performance in real-world conditions. Whether you’re powering narrow-body commercial aircraft, business jets, or advanced trainers, the Jetall 60 KVA GPU brings the right blend of power and protection to every turn.
Why 60 KVA Hits the Operational Sweet Spot
A 60 KVA rating gives you ample headroom for most start-up and servicing needs without the bulk of ultra-high-capacity carts. In day-to-day ops, that translates into:
- Versatility for mixed fleets: enough capacity for popular business jets and regional aircraft while still right-sized for efficiency on the ramp.
- Electrical stability to protect sensitive avionics and cabin systems during ground checks and software loads.
- Reduced fuel or energy consumption compared to oversized units when you don’t need 90–140 KVA every day.
For operators juggling quick turns, scheduled maintenance, or avionics updates, the Jetall 60 KVA ground power unit threads that needle between capability and cost-effectiveness.
Designed to Meet (and Often Exceed) Standards
Jetall’s commitment is simple: meet or exceed the existing published standards for ground power performance and safety. That long-standing focus shows up in voltage regulation, frequency stability, and total harmonic distortion (THD) controls—key parameters that keep your equipment safe and your maintenance team confident. It also means smoother integration with existing ground support infrastructure and fewer surprises during audits or OEM inspections.
Built on a Proven JTL Platform
Since 2003, the Jetall team has produced engine-driven and plug-in GPUs under the JTL model prefix in both 28.5 VDC configurations and AC models ranging from 38 KVA to 140 KVA. That breadth of experience translates into refinements you can feel on day one:
- Mature control logic and safeguards refined over two decades of field feedback.
- Serviceable architecture with widely available parts and straightforward maintenance procedures.
- Consistent user interface across the family, limiting training time when crews move between units.
The 60 KVA unit fits right in the middle of this proven lineup, benefiting from the same engineering DNA that powers more than two decades of ramp operations.
Engine-Driven vs Plug-In: Choose What Your Ramp Demands
Jetall offers the Jetall 60 KVA ground power unit in two primary configurations:
Engine-Driven (Mobile GPU)
- Go-anywhere power for remote stands, hardstands, and out-of-bay turnarounds.
- Independent operation when grid access is unavailable or unreliable.
- Ruggedized design with weather protection, filtration, and high-duty cooling to handle temperature extremes.
Plug-In (Fixed or Towable eGPU)
- Lower operating cost when grid power is available, with reduced noise and emissions on the ramp.
- Ideal for hangar work, avionics updates, and extended ground servicing.
- Consistent power quality with advanced regulation and protection features.
Not sure which way to go? Many operators deploy a hybrid strategy—plug-in units for hangar and gate usage, engine-driven units for remote stands and irregular ops—standardizing on 60 KVA to keep training and spares simple.
Power Quality That Protects Your Aircraft
Clean power is about more than just hitting KVA numbers. The Jetall 60 KVA ground power unit is engineered to deliver:
- Tight voltage and frequency regulation to protect FADEC, FMS, and cabin electronics.
- Low THD output to minimize heat and noise in sensitive systems.
- Soft-start and overload protection that prevent nuisance trips and component stress.
- Line drop compensation for longer cable runs without sag at the aircraft connector.
The result: fewer anomalies during BITE tests, smoother software loads, and less wear on expensive airframe components.
Feature Highlights You’ll Actually Use
- Intuitive operator interface: Large, legible readouts for volts, amps, frequency, and fault codes.
- Data logging: Track usage patterns, fault histories, and maintenance intervals for audit-ready documentation.
- Smart cooling: Variable-speed fans and optimized ducting to maintain output quality during hot-day operations.
- Robust connectors and cables: Built to withstand repeated connects/disconnects and harsh apron conditions.
- Compact footprint: Easy maneuvering in crowded ramps or tight hangar aisles.
- Remote-ready options: Network or hard-line monitoring for fleet-level visibility across multiple gates and bays.
Where a Jetall 60 KVA GPU Shines
- Airline and regional ops: Reliable power for fast turns, cabin refresh, and galley restock without APU burn.
- Business aviation FBOs: Power for a diverse mix of midsize and large-cabin jets while safeguarding premium cabin systems.
- MRO & line maintenance: Stable voltage for avionics updates, diagnostics, and extended ground checks.
- Military training fleets: Consistent output for mission systems and ground rehearsals, with rugged mobility for field use.
- OEM and completion centers: Repeatable power quality during integration and certification processes.
Maintenance: Keep It Simple, Keep It Running
A GPU that’s easy to maintain is a GPU that stays in service. The Jetall 60 KVA ground power unit is designed with fast access panels, clear service guides, and common-sense intervals:
- Routine inspections: Visual checks of cables, connectors, filters, and cooling paths.
- Scheduled service: Engine oil (for engine-driven models), belts, filters, and battery health checks at standard hour milestones.
- Electrical integrity: Periodic verification of output regulation, frequency, and insulation resistance to keep power clean.
- Recordkeeping: Use onboard logs to align preventive maintenance with actual duty cycles, not guesswork.
Safety First—For People and Aircraft
Safety isn’t an afterthought—it’s engineered in:
- Emergency stop and interlock circuits to halt output instantly.
- Ground fault and overload protection to shield aircraft systems and operators.
- Thermal monitoring with automatic derating or shutdown in extreme conditions.
- Clear status indicators so crews can diagnose at a glance.
These measures complement training and SOPs to reduce risk and maximize uptime.
Sustainability and Cost Control
With fuel costs and emissions under scrutiny, a right-sized 60 KVA unit is a strategic choice:
- Lower fuel burn than larger engine-driven GPUs when full capacity isn’t required.
- Reduced APU usage, cutting noise, emissions, and operating costs.
- Plug-in efficiencies for hangar work, leveraging grid power and minimizing local pollutants.
- Smaller footprint that helps airports meet environmental and community noise goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 60 KVA enough for my mixed fleet?
For many FBOs, regionals, and MROs, yes. It comfortably supports common avionics loads, cabin prep, and most ground tests for business jets and regional types. For heavier draws or simultaneous loads, Jetall’s higher-capacity options—up to 140 KVA—are available.
Q: Can I get 28.5 VDC from the same platform?
Jetall also manufactures 28.5 VDC GPUs. Depending on your needs, you can deploy AC and VDC units side-by-side under the same JTL family for consistent operation and service.
Q: What about power quality during hot weather or long cable runs?
The unit’s smart cooling and line drop compensation help maintain stable delivery. Proper cable gauge and routine connector care further ensure clean power at the aircraft plug.
Q: Engine-driven or plug-in—how do I pick?
Choose engine-driven for mobility and remote stands. Choose plug-in where grid access is reliable, especially for hangar work and prolonged servicing. Many operators use both
