General Description

1 General Description
1.1 Power Plant

 ISO 40‘ high cube container

 50 Hz / 60 Hz generator set (engine with generator mounted on a base frame)
 Radiators with electric fans for engine cooling
 Generator output field including customer connection
 Symap ECG for system control, monitoring, and protection

The construction of the container ensures the following:

 Full transportability of the system (Road, Sea)
 Container type is CSC-certified (Convention Safety Container) for trouble-free conventional
transport (Road, Sea) and stackable storage of the modules
 Plug & Play solution. Easy "on-site“ installation and operation
 Versatile use of the generator sets (different operating conditions)
 Minimum external dimensions
 Complete and fully tested design. Extensive testing of prototypes for standard products
 Combinable options packages
 Environmentally-friendly operation due to protective equipment (e.g. container floor sealed
against leaking oil)
 Easy to service and maintain due to proven access concepts

 General Description

1.2 Generator Set

The generator set consists of the following components:

 Turbocharged MTU diesel engine, fuel optimized:

- 50 Hz: 16V 4000 G63
- 60 Hz: 16V 4000 G83

 Generator:
- Self-regulating, brushless rotating-field type synchronous generator with integrated exciter
- Digital, Solid State, Volts-per-Hertz Regulator

 Engine and generator are flexibly coupled. Flanged via SAE00 housing and elastically supported
on a rigid base frame fitted with lifting lugs.

 Generator anti-condensation heating

 Manually operated oil pump for draining the oil sump

For precise performance data, types, and further information, refer to technical description (CTB) of
generator sets used.
