Test Equipment

ENSURING HIGH AVAILABILITY

The ability to safely test the functioning of the ground power system is critical to maintaining a high level of availability.

Whippendell Marine has developed the “AGSS Test Box”, a compact and portable unit for testing the functional operation of the AC and DC supplies and providing a safe means of measuring voltage.

The unit simulates an aircraft plugged into the system, and is compatible with all systems, providing both Civilian and Military interlock options. It is currently deployed on all UK aviation capable platforms.

Whippendell is also able to supply a range of AC and DC load banks

Cables and Stowage

Whippendell Marine is able to supply a range of aircraft connection cables suitable for use in the marine environment.

Both AC and DC cables are available, at various current ratings. We can supply standard commercial specification cables or special cables to UK Def-Stan 02-642.

Def Stan cables are provided with round sockets at one end for connection to the ship supply (3 pin DC and 7 pin AC). These are available as straight or right angle.

To complement the cables we also manufacture cable stowage reels. These are available as single or double reels for stowage of 1 or 2 cables up to 25m in length.
