A power unit for producing both alternating current and direct current includes a switcher connected to a direct current source, wherein the switcher includes circuitry configured to produce both alternating current having first characteristics and direct current having second characteristics, wherein the circuitry comprises a plurality of insulated gate bipolar transistor circuits and drive circuits connected to the insulated gate bipolar transistor circuits. The switcher may receive variable voltage and frequency or constant voltage and frequency. In either case, the switcher circuitry is able to provide power of the desired characteristics. The power unit may be used to power aircraft when the aircraft is on the ground.
