Diesel Power Station E179

We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here
 

The purpose of the Diesel Power Station is to provide  AC 220V/50Hz power supply to the 1000W lighthouses. The  220V/50Hz mains  and, the diesel generator  will be  used as energy sources. The station is fully automated and, its  operation can be   be controlled remotely by the  monitoring system. The AC controller of the station is continuously testing the voltage of the mains. When the voltage  will become  less  of an acceptable  level, the diesel generator will be started and it will take  over the power supply.  When the voltage level of the mains will be restored, the diesel generator will be stopped and, energy will be taken from the mains  again.
 

System components

  • Diesel Generaator “Yanmar”
  • AC controller E176
  • Diesel Generator Interface E177, controlling the electromechanical interface “Servo”
  • Local Area Networks “Echelon” and “A-Bus”
  •  RS-485 Input Module  E363
  • Equipment cabinet


Features

  • Continuous testing of voltage of the mains. When the mains voltage  will be  less than an acceptable level or zero,  the  diesel      generator will be started and the users will be switched over to it. Switching the  users back to the mains and stopping the diesel generator when the mains voltage will be restored.  The starting and stopping procedures can be initiated after a time delay,   depending on the charge rate of the batteries in  the user.
  • Automatic heating of the diesel engine in the case, the temperature of will be below the acceptable level in winter conditions.
  • Oil pressure drop below 1 bar stops the diesel engine.
  • Setting up  the control parameters:
            - minimal acceptable level of the voltage of mains (up to 200V)
            - time delays (0...900min) of starting and stopping of the diesel generator;
            - temperature of switching ON of the diesel heating, (-30°C …0°C).
  • Getting following diagnostic information in case, the station is integrated into the remote monitoring system
            - warning: no voltage of the mains
            - voltages of the mains and of the diesel generator
            - temperature of the diesel engine
            - emergency messages about the failures of the station
