Puma Generators
Puma generators are available with either manual or automatic control and a large range of options. Equipment can also be custom built to individual specifications.

Arrangement
The engine and alternator are close coupled, mounted on a robust steel fabricated base plate.

Engine
Water cooled, four stroke compression ignition diesel engine with integral injection, aspiration, filtration starting system and constant speed governor. Engine instrument panel comprising oil pressure, water temperature gauges and battery charging ammeter.

Starting
Battery/electric system, with starter motor, charge alternator and voltage regulator.

Battery
Lead acid type, dry charged with tray and leads.

Alternator
Screen protected, drip proof, salient pole, self-regulating, brushless type. Class H insulation throughout with Class H temperature rise.

Regulation
+/- 112% steady state, no load to full load, at any power factor between unity and 0.8 lagging. Rapid transient response.

Coupling
The alternator is flange mounted to the engine flywheel housing, forming a rigid arrangement allowing precision alignment to be maintained. The standard configuration utilises a single bearing machine which has the alternator drive end flanged and the drive taken through flexible discs.

Fuel Tank
Each set is provided with a fuel tank which is gantry mounted over the alternator. Fuel pipework is provided to and from the tank to the engine fuel pump. It incorporates a filler cap, on/off tap, breather, fuel level gauge and drain plug.

 

 

Testing
All equipment is test run on full load and overload. All control panel functions are tested.

Painting
All sets are de-greased, painted with etch primer/undercoat and two top coats in an oil proof enamel. The standard paint specification is to BS381C Shade 631 Grey), but any colour can be provided to customers requirements.

Accessories
Each set is supplied with an industrial exhaust silencer, flexible section and a set of anti-vibration mountings. One set of operating and maintenance instructions, spares lists, engine and alternator manuals and circuit diagrams. Further optional equipment is available.

Control Panel
Enclosures are constructed of heavy gauge sheet steel and provided with front access and bottom cable entry. These can be arranged for either set mounting or free standing, according to size of customer’s requirement.

Panels for the manual start
Models include: voltmeter, ammeter, volt/amps phase selector switch, current transformers, engine on/off start switch, moulded case circuit breaker with overload trip, engine protection with indicating lamps for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and engine overspeed.

Panels for auto-mains failure
Include: voltmeter, ammeter, volt/amps phase selector switch, current transformers, control and monitoring equipment, 3 pole mechanically and electrically interlocked changeover contactors, engine protection with indicating lamps for low oil pressure, high coolant temp, engine overspeed, fail to start, overload and alternator under voltage, battery trickle charger with on/off indicator lamp.
