THREE 1,500 KVA DIESEL GENSETS FOR A DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE IN SOUTH AFRICA

ES (Diesel Electric Services) of South Africa has supplied three 1,500 kVA diesel gensets powered by Perkins engines and Mecc Alte alternators. The equipment forms the core of a backup power generation farm serving a distribution warehouse. The three 1500kVA Perkins/Mecc Alte generators come with Ynd1 ONAN transformers, each system housed in a  specifically-modified 12m ISO container. Each Perkins 1500 kVA generator includes a high-quality assembly enclosure with strong steel plate providing stiffness, rigidity and low vibration transfer. The gensets feature powder-coated paintwork to minimise corrosion. They are described as being compact and robust, offering a long service life.

 Perkins 4012-46TWG3A: The Perkins 4012 range packs a real performance punch, with 12 cylinders and 46-litre displacement providing all the power you need. The range's diesel ElectropaK engines are supplied complete with radiator and air cleaner, or as engine only. They provide 989-1600 kVA generator output, with exceptional power-to-weight ratios. The compact design of the engines makes them easy to transport and install, reports the company. Economic and durable, the engines have excellent power-to-weight ratios, as well as outstanding load acceptance and improved emissions. Commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series makes replacing parts or upgrading an easy process. The ElectropaK diesel engines in the 4012 range come complete with radiator and air cleaner. Models in the range are either turbocharged and air-to-air charge-cooled or turbocharged and air-to-water charge-cooled.  Giving 989-1880 kVA engine power, the 4012 range diesel engines include a model to suit a wide spectrum of power generation needs – prime or standby.
