More Than 45 Years of Experience in Aviation Ground Power

Why ELME Elektromechanik Has Been a Trusted Partner Since 1978

Reliable power. German engineering. Solutions built around your needs.

In aviation, reliability is everything. Aircraft require dependable electrical power not only during flight but also during maintenance, preparation and ground operations.

Ground Power Units (GPUs) play an essential role in providing this power efficiently and reliably.

Since 1978, RECK SOLAR & ELME ELEKTROMECHANIK has been developing and manufacturing electrical power supply solutions, building decades of experience in electrical engineering and aviation ground power.

But what makes ELME successful in such a demanding industry for more than four decades?

The answer lies in experience, technical expertise, product quality and a clear understanding of customer requirements.

Ground Power Units – Essential Power for Aircraft on the Ground

When an aircraft is parked, many electrical systems still need to operate.

Ground Power Units provide external electrical power, allowing aircraft systems to operate without unnecessarily running their engines or Auxiliary Power Units (APUs).

Depending on the application, this can help reduce fuel consumption, operating costs, noise and emissions.

For airports, aircraft operators and maintenance facilities, a reliable GPU is therefore more than a technical accessory.

It is an investment in operational efficiency.

ELME – Experience Since 1978

Over more than four decades, ELME Elektromechanik has developed extensive expertise in electrical power supply technology.

This experience forms the foundation of the company's aviation power supply solutions.

Combining German engineering with practical manufacturing experience, ELME focuses on providing reliable equipment designed around the actual requirements of its customers.

Different aircraft require different power supply solutions.

General aviation aircraft, business jets and maintenance facilities all have specific electrical requirements.

Understanding these requirements is essential when selecting the right GPU.

The Right GPU for the Right Aircraft

ELME offers Ground Power Units for different aircraft types and applications.

The portfolio includes:

28 V DC Ground Power Units for aircraft requiring direct-current power.

200 V / 400 Hz Ground Power Units for aircraft requiring three-phase aviation power.

Portable GPUs for flexible operation and maintenance applications.

High-performance systems for demanding aviation requirements.

The product range covers different power outputs, from compact portable units to powerful systems delivering high current for professional aviation applications.

This flexibility allows customers to select equipment according to their aircraft, operational conditions and required performance.

The objective is simple:

Providing the right power solution for the right aircraft.

German Engineering – Reliability You Can Depend On

Technical specifications are important when selecting a Ground Power Unit.

However, reliability, durability, ease of operation and suitability for the intended application are equally important.

ELME combines electrical engineering expertise with practical experience in power supply technology.

Its products are designed to support demanding applications where dependable electrical power is essential.

For customers, this means working with a manufacturer that understands the importance of quality, reliable operation and long-term value.

More Than a Product – A Partnership

Choosing the right GPU is an important investment.

Incorrect power output, unsuitable connections or an inappropriate configuration can create unnecessary costs and operational challenges.

This is why understanding the customer's requirements is essential.

ELME supports customers in identifying suitable power supply solutions for their aircraft and applications.

Whether you need a compact mobile GPU, a 28 V DC system or a powerful 400 Hz solution, the objective is to find equipment that meets your actual operational needs.

The right GPU is not necessarily the largest or most powerful. It is the one that delivers exactly what your aircraft requires.

Looking Ahead – Ground Power for Modern Aviation

The aviation industry continues to evolve.

Aircraft become more sophisticated, airport operations increasingly focus on efficiency and sustainability, and electrical infrastructure plays an increasingly important role.

Ground Power Units contribute to this development by providing external electrical power while aircraft are parked.

When operational conditions permit, this can reduce the need to operate onboard APUs, helping to lower fuel consumption, emissions and noise.

ELME continues to build on its experience in electrical engineering and aviation ground power to support these changing requirements.
