QSX15-G8

Emissions Compliance:
Non-Certified or "Flex" program for EU Mobile applications.
Formerly EU Stage2 @ 50Hz.

Description
The QSX15-Series is the first heavy-duty diesel with 24-
valve dual overhead camshaft technology. Yet it has an
impressive 30% fewer parts than comparable diesels and
a utilised design, which eliminates external lube, coolant
and fuel lines, leading to higher reliability for such a high
power output.
The 15 litre, six-cylinder QSX15 engine is ideally suited
to both open and containerised applications in static or
portable genset equipment. It can be matched to meet
specific duty cycle and operating conditions of any
genset.
Features
Holset HX82 Turbocharging - Wastegated design optimizes
operation. Improved transient response and low fuel
consumption.
Integrated Block Design - Integrated fluid circuits replace
hoses and eliminate potential leaks.
High-Pressure Fuel Injection - Capable of over 1,900 bar
(28,000 psi) for cleaner, more fuel-efficient combustion.
24-Valve Cylinder Head – Four valves per cylinder for
increased power with faster response at every rpm.

This engine has been built to comply Coolpac Integrated Design - Products are supplied complete
with CE certification. with cooling package and air cleaner kit for a complete power
package. Each component has been specifically developed and
This engine has been designed in
rigorously tested for G-Drive products, ensuring high
facilities certified to ISO9001 and
performance, durability and reliability.
manufactured in facilities certified to
ISO9001 or ISO9002.
Controls - Fitted with Power Generation Interface (PGI) to
improve emissions.

Service and Support - G-Drive products are backed by an

uncompromising level of technical support and after sales
service, delivered through a world class service network.

SPECIFICATIONS & OPTIONS
STANDARDS
Newage Stamford industrial generators meet the
requirements of BS EN 60034 and the relevant section
of other international standards such as BS5000, VDE
0530, NEMA MG1-32, IEC34, CSA C22.2-100, AS1359.
Other standards and certifications can be considered on
request.
VOLTAGE REGULATORS
SX440 AVR - STANDARD
With this self-excited system the main stator provides
power via the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) to the
exciter stator. The high efficiency semi-conductors of
the AVR ensure positive build-up from initial low levels
of residual voltage.
The exciter rotor output is fed to the main rotor through
a three-phase full-wave bridge rectifier. The rectifier is
protected by a surge suppressor against surges
caused, for example, by short circuit or out-of-phase
paralleling.
The SX440 will support a range of electronic
accessories, including a 'droop' Current Transformer
(CT) to permit parallel operation with other ac
generators.
If 3-phase sensing is required with the self-excited
system, the SX421 AVR must be used.
SX421 AVR
This AVR also operates in a self-excited system. It
combines all the features of the SX440 with,
additionally, three-phase rms sensing for improved
regulation and performance. Over voltage protection is
provided via a separate circuit breaker. An engine relief
load acceptance feature is built in as standard.
MX341 AVR
This sophisticated AVR is incorporated into the
Stamford Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) control
system.
The PMG provides power via the AVR to the main
exciter, giving a source of constant excitation power
independent of generator output. The main exciter
output is then fed to the main rotor, through a full wave
bridge, protected by a surge suppressor. The AVR has
in-built protection against sustained over-excitation,
caused by internal or external faults. This de-excites
the machine after a minimum of 5 seconds.
An engine relief load acceptance feature can enable full
load to be applied to the generator in a single step.
If three-phase sensing is required with the PMG system
the MX321 AVR must be used.
We recommend three-phase sensing for applications
with greatly unbalanced or highly non-linear loads.
2
MX321 AVR
The most sophisticated of all our AVRs combines all the
features of the MX341 with, additionally, three-phase
rms sensing, for improved regulation and performance.
Over voltage protection is built-in and short circuit
current level adjustments is an optional facility.
WINDINGS & ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE
All generator stators are wound to 2/3 pitch. This
eliminates triplen (3rd, 9th, 15th …) harmonics on the
voltage waveform and is found to be the optimum
design for trouble-free supply of non-linear loads. The
2/3 pitch design avoids excessive neutral currents
sometimes seen with higher winding pitches, when in
parallel with the mains. A fully connected damper
winding reduces oscillations during paralleling. This
winding, with the 2/3 pitch and carefully selected pole
and tooth designs, ensures very low waveform
distortion.
TERMINALS & TERMINAL BOX
Standard generators are 3-phase reconnectable with 12
ends brought out to the terminals, which are mounted
on a cover at the non-drive end of the generator. A
sheet steel terminal box contains the AVR and provides
ample space for the customers' wiring and gland
arrangements. It has removable panels for easy
access.
SHAFT & KEYS
All generator rotors are dynamically balanced to better
than BS6861:Part 1 Grade 2.5 for minimum vibration in
operation. Two bearing generators are balanced with a
half key.
INSULATION/IMPREGNATION
The insulation system is class 'H'.
All wound components are impregnated with materials
and processes designed specifically to provide the high
build required for static windings and the high
mechanical strength required for rotating components.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Generators are manufactured using production
procedures having a quality assurance level to BS EN
ISO 9001.
The stated voltage regulation may not be maintained in
the presence of certain radio transmitted signals. Any
change in performance will fall within the limits of
Criteria 'B' of EN 61000-6-2:2001. At no time will the
steady-state voltage regulation exceed 2%.
NB Continuous development of our products entitles us
to change specification details without notice, therefore
they must not be regarded as binding.
