    787 Electrical

    The 787 utilizes two forward and one mid-aft ground power receptacles, each rated at 90 kVA. Each receptacle can support continuous 90 kVA power and up to 112 kVA peak power for 5 minutes. For normal gate operations, the 787 can use two 90 kVA ground power units, but Boeing recommends a third 90 kVA unit be available in case of an inoperative APU. The 787 uses electrical rather than pneumatic power for engine starts. If the APU is inoperative, engine start can be done with a minimum of two 90 kVA units, though three are recommended to minimize impact on cabin systems during start.

    787 Electrical Requirements

    There have been many questions from airports and engineering firms requesting the electrical
    requirements for the 787. The following description of the 787 electrical requirements should answer
    these questions.

    The 787 airplane utilizes two (2) forward ground power receptacles and one (1) mid-aft ground
    power receptacle. Each receptacle is rated at 90 kVA, as is standard on all Boeing current production
    widebody airplanes. By design each receptacle can support continuous 90 kVA and a peak power
    consumption of 112 kVA for up to five (5) minutes regardless of the output capacity of the Ground
    Power Unit (GPU). For continuous supply, the airplane will draw less than 90 kVA from any
    receptacle. Although the 787 is designed to perform a normal gate turn with two 90 kVA GPUs,
    Boeing recommends that a third 90 kVA GPU be available for non-normal engine start due to an
    inoperative Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).

    Similar to existing airplanes, the 787 utilizes power from the APU for normal engine start. The
    787 is different in that it uses electrical power for engine start rather than pneumatic power used on
    existing airplanes. If the APU is inoperative, an engine start can be performed using a minimum of
    two 90 kVA external ground power units. Boeing recommends the use of three 90 kVA ground power
    sources to minimize the impact on cabin load shedding of ventilation, In Flight Entertainment (IFE)
    and cabin lighting.
