P Series – High Voltage Generators

Powered by Perkins® 4000 Series | The British Standard of Power (884kVA – 2250kVA)

The Enerzip® P Series High Voltage line represents the convergence of British engineering heritage and modern high-efficiency transmission. Powered by the legendary Perkins® 4000 Series engines, these units are designed for facilities that demand massive power over long distances. By generating electricity directly at 3.3kV, 6.3kV, 10.5kV, or 11kV, the P Series eliminates the need for step-up transformers and drastically reduces cabling costs. Enerzip® integrates these robust engines with VPI-insulated alternators and professional switchgear to create High Voltage Generators that set the industry standard for reliability and ease of maintenance. For platform comparison and selection guidance across Enerzip’s full High Voltage Generators portfolio, you may also explore the High Voltage Generators Sets Series.

1. The Power Core: Perkins 4000 Series

The heart of the P Series is the Perkins 4000 Series engine (6, 8, 12, and 16 cylinders), a masterpiece of industrial design. For general reference on the engine platform behind this series, buyers may also review the Perkins 4000 Series.

• Individual Cylinder Heads: Unlike most engines, the Perkins 4000 Series features individual cylinder heads. This unique design allows for exceptional ease of maintenance; a single cylinder can be serviced without dismantling the entire engine, drastically reducing downtime for High Voltage Generators in critical applications.

• Stable Power Output: With a slow piston speed and large displacement, these engines offer superior load acceptance and frequency stability, making them ideal for powering sensitive high-voltage grids in hospitals and data centers.

• Durability: Proven in thousands of installations worldwide, the cast-iron crankcase and gear-driven camshafts ensure a service life that often exceeds 20 years.

2. Starting Systems: Guaranteed Ignition

• Heavy-Duty Electric Start: We utilize dual 24V electric starters on larger models to ensure redundancy.

• Cold Weather Performance: Equipped with high-CCA maintenance-free batteries (VARTA/Camel) and integrated jacket water heaters. This ensures the engine block remains at the optimal temperature for instant starting, even when ambient temperatures drop below freezing.

• Smart Charging: Intelligent battery chargers monitor voltage levels continuously to prevent battery failure.

3. HV Alternator: The Art of Insulation

Generating 11,000 Volts requires specialized engineering.

• Form-Wound Coils: Our High Voltage Generators utilize alternators from LEROY SOMER, STAMFORD, or ENGGA featuring Form-Wound Coils. These pre-formed, rigid coils provide superior mechanical strength and thermal endurance compared to standard random-wound low-voltage coils.

• VPI Technology: Every stator undergoes Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI). This process forces resin into every crevice of the winding, creating a solid, void-free insulation barrier that is impervious to moisture, dust, and salt spray.

• Anti-Condensation: Heaters are installed to keep the windings dry during standby.

4. Control & Switchgear: Grid-Level Protection

Safety is non-negotiable for high-voltage systems.

• Integrated HV Switchgear: The P Series includes a professional switchgear cubicle housing a Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) from ABB or Siemens. VCBs are essential for High Voltage Generators as they provide rapid arc quenching and safe fault isolation.

• Advanced Logic: Utilizing ComAp (InteliGen) or DEIF controllers, the system offers comprehensive protection (Overcurrent, Earth Fault, Reverse Power) and automatic grid synchronization capabilities.

• Remote Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and engine health via Modbus or Ethernet ensures operators have full visibility.

5. Cooling Systems: 50°C Tropical Grade

• Oversized Radiators: We standardize on radiators designed for 50°C ambient temperatures. This ensures the Perkins engine can deliver its full rated power even in the hottest tropical climates or desert environments.

• Robust Construction: Radiator cores are mechanically bonded and coated to resist corrosion from industrial pollutants.

6. Frame & Fuel Tank: Engineered for Stability

• Rigid Base Frame: Manufactured on Enerzip’s robotic welding line, the chassis is reinforced to support the heavy Perkins engine and HV alternator without flexing.

• Vibration Isolation: High-efficiency anti-vibration mounts decouple the engine from the frame, protecting the sensitive HV switchgear and ceramic insulators from mechanical stress.

• Integrated Tank: A daily service fuel tank is integrated into the base frame for standalone operation.

7. Containerized Solutions: The “Power House”

For outdoor HV applications, the P Series is available in Enerzip® ISO Containers.

• Separate HV Room: The container features a partitioned, air-conditioned room specifically for the HV Switchgear and Control Panel. This ensures operator safety and component longevity by isolating them from engine heat and noise.

• Cable Marshalling: Dedicated high-voltage cable entry boxes facilitate the safe and easy termination of heavy armored cables.

8. Exhaust & Emission: Clean & Quiet

• Acoustic Silencing: We install high-attenuation industrial silencers to bring noise levels down to acceptable standards.

• Emission Standards: Perkins 4000 Series engines are optimized for low oil consumption and clean combustion, complying with relevant international emission standards for stationary power.

9. Silent Canopy: Weather Defense

• Corrosion Protection: Our enclosures use an advanced multi-stage powder coating process, offering superior durability against UV rays and rain compared to wet paint.

• Super Silent: Lined with high-density acoustic foam, the canopy effectively suppresses mechanical noise, making these High Voltage Generators suitable for urban installations.

Power Ratings (kVA)

The P Series covers a wide range of outputs to suit various high-voltage requirements:

• Standard Range: 884, 900, 1000, 1125, 1250, 1350 kVA

• Heavy Duty Range: 1500, 1650, 1700, 1705 kVA

• Ultra-Large Range: 1845, 2050, 2250 kVA
