Marine classification: Construction and acceptance test acc. to classification, without
certificate, acc. to BV, DNV, LRS, GL, RINA, ABS, CCS or others
R.I.S. degree N acc. VDE 0875

(If temp. rise limitation according class „B“ should be requested, the
listed ratings have to be reduced to 85 %)
Ambient air temperature Max. 45 °C according to classification rules (at air cooled machines IC01)
Max. 55 °C according to classification rules (at IC81W and cooling water

Construction:
• The alternators is self excitated brushless machine consisting of main stator, main field and internaly
implemented exciter.
For power supply to the automatic voltage regulator the alternators are equipped with an auxiliary winding.
• Stator:
A welded design is used for the stator housing. The stator core pack consists of hydraulically pressed, low-loss
dynamo laminations. It is pressed together with the housing via pressure plates to form a compact unit. This
ensures a stiff construction appropriate for the special operating conditions for Diesel generating sets.
The stator winding is insulated in accordance with insulation class F or H (see type and price list) acc. to VDE
0530 / IEC 34.
The winding heads and wirings are supported by suitable fastening elements and firmly linked together by
mechanical means to guard against electrodynamic loads caused by current forces.
• Rotor:
The rotor consists of the shaft the main revolving field, exciter rotor and rotating rectifier with rectifier protection
elements.
The main revolving field in salient pole design consists of hydraulically pressed lamination sheets or of steel
plates. A damper cage is installed as standard, with the bars electrically connected within the pole shoes as
well as from pole to pole.
The main rotor windings are made of flat copper and are protected against centrifugal forces by suitable
components.
As standard the rotor is dynamically balanced with half key acc. to VDE 0530 / IEC 34, part 14. Other shaft
designs are available on request.
• Bearing plates:
Bearing plates are welded. The alternator feet are integrated in the bearing plates or located as near as
possible to the bearing plates in order to grant optimum vibration stiffness.

5 %, according VDE 0530 / IEC 34.
Unbalanced load capability: Alternator is suitable for unbalanced load up to 20 % of rated current
between line-neutral; without exceeding the rated current.

Parallel operation: Alternator suitable for parallel operation with other alternators.
Damper cage: Damper cage and droop transformer are built-in.
Sustained short circuit current: 3 x rated current for 3 s. at 3-pole terminal short-circuit
Overload: 10 % for 1 h, within 6 hours.
or: Acc. to IEC 34/VDE 0530, i.e. 50 % for 30 sec.
“THF” The requirement laid down by the EN 60034-1 (IEC 34) standard is easily
maintained.
Harmonic content: The harmonic content is ≤ 2 % measured between phases at no load up
to nominal load and power factor of cos phi 0.1 … 1 under symmetrical
and linear loads.
The winding is optimised in order to keep the 5th and 7th harmonics
measured between the phases as low as possible.
Non-linear loads: The alternators are thermically suitable for a high content of non-linear
loads:
6-pulse converters: Up to 85 % of rated load,
12-/18-/24-pulse converters: Up to 90 % of rated load.
The actual values of waveform deviation have to be calculated after
information by the customer about the current deviation (amount of
harmonics) of his consumers.
