SPECIFICATIONS & OPTIONS
STANDARDS
Newage Stamford industrial generators meet the
requirements of BS EN 60034 and the relevant section of
other international standards such as BS5000, VDE 0530,
NEMA MG1-32, IEC34, CSA C22.2-100, AS1359.
Other standards and certifications can be considered on
request.
VOLTAGE REGULATORS
AS440 AVR - STANDARD
With this self-excited system the main stator provides
power via the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) to the
exciter stator. The high efficiency semi-conductors of the
AVR ensure positive build-up from initial low levels of
residual voltage.
The exciter rotor output is fed to the main rotor through a
three-phase full-wave bridge rectifier. The rectifier is
protected by a surge suppressor against surges caused,
for example, by short circuit or out-of-phase paralleling.
The AS440 will support a range of electronic accessories,
including a 'droop' Current Transformer (CT) to permit
parallel operation with other ac generators.
MX341 AVR
This sophisticated AVR is incorporated into the Stamford
Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) control system.
The PMG provides power via the AVR to the main exciter,
giving a source of constant excitation power independent
of generator output. The main exciter output is then fed to
the main rotor, through a full wave bridge, protected by a
surge suppressor. The AVR has in-built protection
against sustained over-excitation, caused by internal or
external faults. This de-excites the machine after a
minimum of 5 seconds.
An engine relief load acceptance feature can enable full
load to be applied to the generator in a single step.
If three-phase sensing is required with the PMG system
the MX321 AVR must be used.
We recommend three-phase sensing for applications with
greatly unbalanced or highly non-linear loads.
MX321 AVR
The most sophisticated of all our AVRs combines all the
features of the MX341 with, additionally, three-phase rms
sensing, for improved regulation and performance.
Over voltage protection is built-in and short circuit current
level adjustments is an optional facility.
2
WINDINGS & ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE
All generator stators are wound to 2/3 pitch. This
eliminates triplen (3rd, 9th, 15th …) harmonics on the
voltage waveform and is found to be the optimum design
for trouble-free supply of non-linear loads. The 2/3 pitch
design avoids excessive neutral currents sometimes seen
with higher winding pitches, when in parallel with the
mains. A fully connected damper winding reduces
oscillations during paralleling. This winding, with the 2/3
pitch and carefully selected pole and tooth designs,
ensures very low waveform distortion.
TERMINALS & TERMINAL BOX
Standard generators are 3-phase reconnectable with 12
ends brought out to the terminals, which are mounted on
a cover at the non-drive end of the generator. A sheet
steel terminal box contains the AVR and provides ample
space for the customers' wiring and gland arrangements.
It has removable panels for easy access.
SHAFT & KEYS
All generator rotors are dynamically balanced to better
than BS6861:Part 1 Grade 2.5 for minimum vibration in
operation. Two bearing generators are balanced with a
half key.
INSULATION/IMPREGNATION
The insulation system is class 'H'.
All wound components are impregnated with materials
and processes designed specifically to provide the high
build required for static windings and the high mechanical
strength required for rotating components.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Generators are manufactured using production
procedures having a quality assurance level to BS EN
ISO 9001.
The stated voltage regulation may not be maintained in
the presence of certain radio transmitted signals. Any
change in performance will fall within the limits of Criteria
'B' of EN 61000-6-2:2001. At no time will the steady-state
voltage regulation exceed 2%.
NB Continuous development of our products entitles us
to change specification details without notice, therefore
they must not be regarded as binding.

- Frequency
Engine data
- Starting battery voltage
- Engine speed
- Engine temperature
- Engine oil pressure
- Engine oil temperature
- Intake manifold temperature
- Comprehensive Full Authority Engine (FAE) data
(where applicable)
Service adjustments - The HMI includes provisions for
adjustment and calibration of generator set control
functions. Adjustments are protected by a password.
Functions include:
- Engine speed governor adjustments
- Voltage regulation adjustments
- Cycle cranking
- Configurable fault set up
- Configurable output set up
- Meter calibration
- Display language and units of measurement
Engine control
SAE-J1939 CAN interface to full authority ECMs (where
applicable). Provides data swapping between genset and
engine controller for control, metering and diagnostics.
12 VDC/24 VDC battery operations - PowerCommand will
operate either on 12 VDC or 24 VDC batteries.
Temperature dependent governing dynamics (with
electronic governing) - modifies the engine governing
control parameters as a function of engine temperature.
This allows the engine to be more responsive when warm
and more stable when operating at lower temperature
levels.
Isochronous governing - (where applicable) Capable of
controlling engine speed within +/-0.25% for any steady
state load from no load to full load. Frequency drift will
not exceed +/-0.5% for a 33 °C (60 °F) change in ambient
temperature over an 8 hour period.
Droop electronic speed governing - Control can be
adjusted to droop from 0 to 10% from no load to full load.
Remote start mode - It accepts a ground signal from
remote devices to automatically start the generator set
and immediately accelerate to rated speed and voltage.
The remote start signal will also wake up the control from
sleep mode. The control can incorporate a time delay
start and stop.
Remote and local emergency stop - The control accepts
a ground signal from a local (genset mounted) or remote
(facility mounted) emergency stop switch to cause the
generator set to immediately shut down. The generator
set is prevented from running or cranking with the switch
engaged. If in sleep mode, activation of either
emergency stop switch will wakeup the control.
Sleep mode - The control includes a configurable low
current draw state to minimize starting battery current
draw when the genset is not operating. The control can
also be configured to go into a low current state while in
auto for prime applications or applications without a
battery charger.
Engine starting - The control system supports automatic
engine starting. Primary and backup start disconnects
are achieved by one of two methods: magnetic pickup or
main alternator output frequency. The control also
supports configurable glow plug control when applicable.

S-1568c (5/10) Page 3 of 7
Cycle cranking - Is configurable for the number of
starting cycles (1 to 7) and duration of crank and rest
periods. Control includes starter protection algorithms
to prevent the operator from specifying a starting
sequence that might be damaging.
Time delay start and stop (cooldown) - Configurable for
time delay of 0-300 seconds prior to starting after
receiving a remote start signal and for time delay of 0-
600 seconds prior to shut down after signal to stop in
normal operation modes. Default for both time delay
periods is 0 seconds.
Alternator control
The control includes an integrated three phase line-to-
line sensing voltage regulation system that is compatible
with shunt or PMG excitation systems. The voltage
regulation system is a three phase full wave rectified and
has an FET output for good motor starting capability.
Major system features include:
Digital output voltage regulation - Capable of regulating
output voltage to within +/-1.0% for any loads between
no load and full load. Voltage drift will not exceed +/-
1.5% for a 40 ºC (104 ºF) change in temperature in an
eight hour period. On engine starting or sudden load
acceptance, voltage is controlled to a maximum of 5%
overshoot over nominal level. The automatic voltage
regulator feature can be disabled to allow the use of an
external voltage regulator.
Droop voltage regulation - Control can be adjusted to
droop from 0-10% from no load to full load.
Torque-matched V/Hz overload control - The voltage
roll-off set point and rate of decay (i.e. the slope of the
V/Hz curve) is adjustable in the control.
Fault current regulation - PowerCommand will regulate
the output current on any phase to a maximum of three
times rated current under fault conditions for both single
phase and three phase faults. In conjunction with a
permanent magnet generator, it will provide three times
rated current on all phases for motor starting and short
circuit coordination purpose.
Protective functions
On operation of a protective function the control will
indicate a fault by illuminating the appropriate status LED
on the HMI, as well as display the fault code and fault
description on the LCD. The nature of the fault and time
of occurrence are logged in the control. The service
manual and InPower service tool provide service keys
and procedures based on the service codes provided.
Protective functions include:
Battle short mode
When enabled and the battle short switch is active, the
control will allow some shutdown faults to be bypassed.
If a bypassed shutdown fault occurs, the fault code and
description will still be annunciated, but the genset will so that downstream protective devices have the
not shutdown. This will be followed by a fail to shutdown maximum current available to quickly clear fault
fault. Emergency stop shutdowns and others that are conditions without subjecting the alternator to potentially
critical for proper operation are not bypassed. Please catastrophic failure conditions. See document R1053 for
refer to the Control Application Guide or Manual for list of a full size time over current curve.
these faults.
Derate
The Derate function reduces output power of the genset
in response to a fault condition. If a derate command
occurs while operating on an isolated bus, the control will
issue commands to reduce the load on the genset via
contact closures or Modbus.
Configurable alarm and status inputs
The control accepts up to four alarm or status inputs
(configurable contact closed to ground or open) to
indicate a configurable (customer-specified) condition.
The control is programmable for warning, shutdown or
status indication and for labeling the input.

Emergency stop
Annunciated whenever either emergency stop signal is
received from external switch.
Full authority electronic engine protection
Engine fault detection is handled inside the engine ECM.
Fault information is communicated via the SAE-J1939
data link for annunciation in the HMI.
General engine protection
Low and high battery voltage warning - Indicates status
of battery charging system (failure) by continuously
monitoring battery voltage.
Weak battery warning - The control system will test the
battery each time the generator set is signaled to start
and indicate a warning if the battery indicates impending
failure.
Fail to start (overcrank) shutdown - The control system
will indicate a fault if the generator set fails to start by the
completion of the engine crack sequence.
Fail to crank shutdown - Control has signaled starter to
crank engine but engine does not rotate.
Cranking lockout - The control will not allow the starter to
attempt to engage or to crank the engine when the
engine is rotating.
Alternator protection
AmpSentry Protective relay - A comprehensive
monitoring and control system integral to the
PowerCommand Control System that guards the
electrical integrity of the alternator and power system by
providing protection against a wide array of fault
conditions in the generator set or in the load. It also
provides single and three phase fault current regulation
High AC voltage shutdown (59) - Output voltage on any
phase exceeds preset values. Time to trip is inversely
proportional to amount above threshold. Values
adjustable from 105-125% of nominal voltage, with time
delay adjustable from 0.1-10 seconds. Default value is
110% for 10 seconds.
Low AC voltage shutdown (27) - Voltage on any phase
has dropped below a preset value. Adjustable over a
range of 50-95% of reference voltage, time delay 2-20
seconds. Default value is 85% for 10 seconds. Function
tracks reference voltage. Control does not nuisance trip
when voltage varies due to the control directing voltage
to drop, such as during a V/Hz roll-off during
synchronizing.
Under frequency shutdown (81 u) - Generator set output
frequency cannot be maintained. Settings are adjustable
from 2-10 Hz below reference governor set point, for a 5-
20 second time delay. Default: 6 Hz, 10 seconds.
Under frequency protection is disabled when excitation
is switched off, such as when engine is operating in idle
speed mode.
Over frequency shutdown/warning (81o) - Generator set
is operating at a potentially damaging frequency level.
Settings are adjustable from 2-10 Hz above nominal
governor set point for a 1-20 second time delay. Default:
6 Hz, 20 seconds, disabled.
