New electric power generation components from Vert Energy
January 2017
Electrical Power & Protection
New to Vert Energy’s range of electric power generation components are NSM synchronous alternators, welding sets, permanent magnet generators and PTO generators, which provide reliable, clean and stable power.
NSM single- and three- phase 2-pole brushless synchronous alternators with a capacitor are suitable for basic power supply applications. For more complex applications, for example, units with electronics like UPS systems, single- and three- phase 2-pole brush synchronous alternators with automatic voltage regulators are recommended. AVR units ensure voltage regulation is consistent, which is critical for units that are sensitive to voltage ripples and spikes.
Solutions for dependable portable power in the agricultural sector include NSM Tractorwatt PTO generators. These three-phase brush generators, which provide reliable power take off from the propshaft of a tractor, are available with a capacitor or an AVR.
NSM has also launched a new range of permanent magnet generators for wind energy production. Features for high performance and low cogging ensure the wind turbine spins, even with minimum wind speed. This range supplies continuous output power from 0,5 to 6 kVA with a high overload capacity for a limited time span.
Other components in Vert Energy’s range include Leroy Somer alternators, DEIF controllers; ASCO automatic transfer switches; API Covrad radiators and Avtron and Froment load banks, as well as customised control panels. AllightSykes MSGEN2 lighting towers, which offer over 50 000 hours of light per unit, are also new to Vert Energy.
