changes.

Cooling system - Standard integral set-mounted

radiator system, designed and tested for rated
ambient temperatures, simplifies facility design
requirements for rejected heat.

Alternator - Several alternator sizes offer

selectable motor starting capability with low
reactance 2/3 pitch windings, low waveform
distortion with non-linear loads and fault
clearing short-circuit capability.

Fuel Tanks - Dual wall sub-base fuel tanks are

also available.

NFPA - The genset accepts full rated load in a

single step in accordance with NFPA 110 for Level
1 systems.

Permanent magnet generator (PMG) Offers enhanced motor starting and fault
clearing short-circuit capability.

Model

Warranty and service - Backed by a

comprehensive warranty and worldwide distributor
network.
