Abstract

The model 602 self‐propelled ground power unit which is available with the industrial version of the Perkins eight cylinder vee configuration V8.510 diesel engine has a continuous output rating of 90kVA at 0.8 power factor while the peak intermittent rating is 180kVA at 0.4 power factor. The output is 140bhp at 2,400 rev/min and both drives the unit and provides the generating power. It is directly linked to the brushless alternator to provide this output — cither directly for the ac supply, or through the optional transformer, rectifier units for the dc requirements which are either 28.5V continuous at 800 amps or 112V continuous at 300 amps.
