Output signals from ground power units can be combined to supply more energy for aircraft to use for starting a jet engine. The combining can be possible when the outputs from the ground power units are synchronized. In a synchronization process, a first ground power unit may be started so that its first output signal serves as a reference for the synchronization. Then, an interconnect on a second ground power unit can be toggled to start and stop the generation of a second output signal at different times until the signals are in phase (i.e., synchronized).
