What is the FoxCart 1200?

The FoxCart 1200 is a single-phase power input unit and should only be considered if three-phase power is not available. It will deliver the rated DC power but with less efficiency and regulation than the other three-phase models. It can handle starts on helicopters and other light aircraft and will greatly assist a battery start on heavier aircraft.

This unit is capable of producing 600 amps continuous for hangar/ramp use or 1200 amps max for starting.

18" Riser Option

Foxcart 1200 Riser Option
Please request this option at the time of the quote.

What Is the 18" Riser Kit Option?

The new 18" riser kit is to be fully compliant with the safety regulations of the hangar environment. This well-known "18-inch rule" requires there be no electrical connection allowed within the 18" area above the hangar floor known as a Class 1, Division 2 area. This area is considered to be hazardous because fumes from spilled jet fuel may not yet have dispersed sufficiently to avoid ignition if an arch were to occur – in this context, from a loose electrical connection within a mobile power unit (GPU or Cart). For a more thorough explanation of this ruling, one can reference Article 513 of the NEC and EN 60079-10 of the European Standard.

Warranty

Flextronics/Unitron warrants each new FoxCart Mark II Series to be free of defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service for one year from the date of shipment. Warranty subject to change.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Question:
I need a 3-phase input voltage rectifier. Will this unit work?
Answer:

No. The FoxCart 1200 GPU is designed exclusively for single-phase input voltage. If you need a 3-phase input voltage rectifier, you will need to upgrade to a FoxCart 1600 or FoxCart 2000 GPU.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
Is there a plug on the input cable for this GPU?
Answer:

No, the FoxCart 1200 does not include a plug on the input cable. You will need to install the correct hangar plug that matches your facility’s electrical outlet. If you need help determining the proper plug for your setup, our team is happy to assist.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
What amp service is required for using the FoxCart 1200 during starter assists?
Answer:

FoxCart recommends operating the FoxCart 1200 GPU on a 200-amp service during starter assist applications to ensure proper performance.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
What is the main difference between this unit and the FoxCart 1600?
Answer:

The key difference is power output. As a single-phase ground power unit, the FoxCart 1200 provides 600 amps of continuous power and 1,200 amps of peak power. The more powerful FoxCart 1600 provides 800 amps of continuous power and 1,600 amps of peak power, making it better suited for aircraft requiring higher starting or continuous power.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
How will this ground power unit ship?
Answer:

The FoxCart 1200 GPU ships via standard LTL freight and arrives fully crated from the factory or our facility. You will need a forklift to unload the crate upon delivery. If you do not have a forklift and require a liftgate, please notify us at the time of quotation.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
What kind of maintenance does the FoxCart 1200 require?
Answer:

Routine maintenance is minimal because the FoxCart 1200 has only two moving components: the wheels and the fan motor. Periodic upkeep should include inspecting the oil-fan motor and movable parts, cleaning dust and debris with compressed air and a dry cloth, tightening any loose hardware, and checking all cables and plugs for wear, cuts, or deterioration. Please refer to the included manual for the most up-to-date maintenance guidance.

Asked August 3, 2023
Question:
Is the FoxCart 1200 CE marked?
Answer:

No. The FoxCart product line is not offered with a CE mark. If you need a CE-marked aircraft ground power unit, Unitron offers compliant models such as the UDC-420M and UDC-620M.

Asked August 31, 2023
Question:
What plug comes with this unit?
Answer:

The FoxCart 1200 includes a 100-foot (30.5 m) input cable, but it does not include a hangar plug. An electrician will need to install the appropriate plug on-site once the unit arrives at your facility.
