The perfect synergy between the raw, dependable power of the Cummins engine and the refined, precise electrical generation of the Stamford alternator creates a gen-set of extraordinary capability, delivering power that is not only immense in quantity but also impeccable in quality.

Vibration Elimination Advanced Anti-Vibration Mounting System

The immense inertial forces produced by a 1500kVA Diesel Generator must be meticulously managed to protect both the generator’s internal components and the installation foundation from premature wear and structural damage. Excel Power engineers address this fundamental challenge through a specialized system of heavy-duty anti-vibration mounts. These professionally engineered mounts are strategically positioned between the engine-alternator core and the robust base frame, providing superior damping of vibrations. This system is critical for two primary reasons: it drastically minimises the transmission of noise and vibration, and it protects the generator’s own internal components from the damaging effects of resonance, significantly extending the operational lifespan of the entire unit. This ensures smooth, quiet operation and simplifies installation requirements.
