APD016 - Military Diesel 16kVA Generator Set
Overview
In service with the Australian Defence Force
Durability
Constructed for rugged conditions and developed to stringent military requirements for the Australian Army, the APD016 has undergone comprehensive testing and survived extremes in temperature, humidity, salt laden atmospheres, vibration, and drop tests.
Power Output
The APD 016 is a skid-mounted field deployable diesel generator capable of delivering 16kVA for any application in the harshest of environmental conditions. With exceptional motor-starting capability, the APD016 is able to start 3-phase motors up to 12 kW DOL and will also provide up to 8 kVA on any single-phase.
Power Quality
The APD 016 provides exceptional power quality which exceeds the military requirements of QSTAG299 under all load conditions. Low harmonics make it ideal to for supplying power to sensitive electronic equipment such as radios and computers. Precise voltage regulation is achieved using digital technology and real RMS sensing to maintain the output voltage to within 1.0% of its preset value.
Portability
The APD 016 is compact in design with convenient lifting eye, forklift pockets, and the tube frame construction providing easy handling.
Reliability
The microprocessor based control system has proven to be a most reliable method of regulating output voltage, displaying power values and monitoring all areas of the generator. If a fault occurs the equipment is shut down before any damage is caused. A diagnostic message appears on the control panel indicating what fault caused the shutdown. A dependable diesel engine provides the highest efficiency and effortless starting.
Silent Operation
The Hatz 4-cylinder silent pack diesel engine’s noise proof capsule further reduces the engine noise levels down to 68 dB9(A) at 7 m.
Easy to Use
The APD 016 has electric start and an automatic refuelling system that tops up the on-board tank from an external bulk supply. The digital instrument panel displays voltage, frequency and load for each phase, and engine temperature, oil pressure and battery volts.
Maintenance
Modular design allows for rapid fault diagnosis and repair in the field by module replacement. Minimal servicing is required with scheduled maintenance only once every 500 hours. Non technical operators can perform all minor preventative and scheduled maintenance using only the tools supplied in the accessory box which also contains spare fuel and air filters, oil strainer, and the user manual. A complete workshop manual and spare parts book written to comply with DEF (AUST) 5629A is also available.
