The M2850 Mini-GPU is a specialized switching-mode power supply designed to provide pilots and aviation maintenance professionals with a portable, affordable source of stable, high-current, noise-free DC power that replicates the in-flight electrical environment. Its rated output is 28-volts up to 50-amps (approximately 1500 watts). The GPU’s intended purpose is to energize an aircraft’s main electrical bus without using the ship’s battery or engine. It will safely provide continuous power for the most delicate electronics and airframe systems up to its full rated output. |

No, this is used for maintenance and avionics/electrical testing. This GPU delivers power to the bus and bypasses the battery.
Per the manufacturer, "a gear swing would be okay, so long as there were not a number of other stacked functions going on (thereby requiring more amps)."
