This setup describes a 20 kW generator set consisting of a Ford engine coupled to a Stamford alternator.
Key Technical Specifications
* Prime Mover (Engine): Ford industrial diesel or natural gas/LPG engine (commonly models like the Ford 2.3L, 2.5L, or CSG-649 depending on fuel type) rated to output ~30–35 hp to produce 20 kW net electrical power.
* Alternator (Generator End): Stamford (Cummins Generator Technologies) brushless AC alternator (typically models such as PI044H, P0, or S0 series).
* Electrical Power Rating: 20 kW / 25 kVA (0.8 power factor).
* Operating Speed / Frequency:
* 1800 RPM for 60 Hz (standard in North America).
* 1500 RPM for 50 Hz (standard globally).
* Voltage Output: Typically reconnectable 12-wire winding (120/240V 1-phase, or 208V/480V 3-phase).
* Voltage Regulation: Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) like the Stamford SX460 or AS440 for tight output stability.
