Engine
®
Rugged Ford spark ignited engines are designed to operate efficiently on gaseous fuels. Fuel system options
available for natural gas, LP vapor, and LP liquid. In addition, for extra system reliability combination natural gas/LP
vapor or natural gas/LP liquid with automatic changeover are available.
Electronic governing provides precise speed regulation, especially useful for applications requiring constant
(isochronous) frequency regulation such as Uninterruptible Power Supply systems, non-linear loads, or sensitive
electronic loads. Optional coolant heaters are recommended for all emergency standby installations or any
application requiring fast load acceptance after start-up.

Alternator
Several alternators are available for application flexibility, based on the required motor starting kVA and other
requirements. Larger alternator sizes have lower temperature rise for longer life of the alternator insulation
system. In addition, larger alternator sizes can provide a cost-effective use of engine power in across-the-line
motor starting applications and can be used to reduce voltage waveform distortion caused by non-linear loads.
These single-bearing alternators couple directly to the engine flywheel with flexible discs, for drivetrain reliability
and durability. No gear reducers or speed changers are used. Two-thirds pitch windings eliminate third-order
harmonic content of the AC voltage waveform and provide the standardization desired for paralleling of generator
sets. The standard excitation system is a self (shunt) excited system with the voltage regulator powered directly
from the generator set output.

Alternator Application Notes

Separately Excited Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) System - This option uses an integral PMG to
supply power to the voltage regulator. A PMG system generally has better motor starting performance, lower
voltage dip upon load application, and better immunity from problems with harmonics in the main alternator
output induced by non-linear loads. This option is recommended for use in applications that have large transient
loads, sensitive electronic loads (especially UPS applications), harmonic content, or that require sustained short-
circuit current (sustained 3-phase short circuit current at approximately 3 times rated for 10 seconds).
Alternator Sizes - On any given model, various alternators sizes are available to meet individual application
needs. Alternators sizes are differentiated by maximum winding temperature rise, at the generator set standby or
o o
prime rating, when operated in a 40 C ambient environment. Available temperature rises range from 80 C to
o
150 C. Not all temperature rise selections are available on all models. Lower temperature rise is accomplished
using larger alternators at lower current density. Lower temperature rise alternators have higher motor starting
kVA, lower voltage dip upon load application, and they are generally recommended to limit voltage distortion and
heating due to harmonics induced by non-linear loads.
Alternator Space Heater - is available and recommended, to inhibit condensation.
