Section 2 – Product Overview
2.1 – Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new TI200-PFC Ground Power Unit.
This GPU is one of Tesla™ Industries latest advancements in power technology development. This GPU
features a 6.5kW active Power Factor Correction (PFC) that is capable of pulling a current waveform identical
to the applied voltage waveform. This is the only PFC on the market that is capable of operating at 40 Hz to
450 Hz with 1% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).
What this means for the end user is that this GPU is capable of producing the same output power of one of
our three phase GPU’s while operating off of single phase power. It offers a wide versatility of power options
while effectively lowering energy consumption.
The TI200-PFC was designed to provide 100 amps @ 28.5 Volts of pure regulated flat line dc power for
vehicle ground support, avionics, battery charging, power for training facility operations, and for all 24 Volt
systems.
This manual contains the complete operating instructions and procedures for the TI200-PFC that the end
user will need to safely and efficiently operate this GPU.
