Reliable 30kVA Perkins Generator for Bus Maintenance Facility
Project Details:
In September 2024, Target Power delivered a custom TP33 30kVA Prime Generator to A1 Coaches, a bus maintenance facility in the North West of England. The generator, equipped with bespoke three-phase and single-phase sockets, was designed to power the facility’s bus lifting equipment. This solution allowed the site to move away from a costly rental generator, providing a more permanent and cost-effective power supply.
Company Name:
A1 Coaches, North West England. A1 coaches service and repair coaches, at their large facility.
Products Included:
TP33 30kVA Prime Generator, with Perkins UK 1103A-33G engine. With custom sockets – 2x 32 Amp Three-Phase Sockets
1x 16 Amp Single-Phase Socket
Application:
To power motors for bus lifting equipment used in maintenance operations.
The generator replaces a rental unit due to its long-term cost efficiency.
Challenges Overcome:
Delivered a custom solution within an expedited timeframe of just three days. Fitting and certifying additional sockets alongside testing and delivery in the same timeframe. Each socket was fit with an additional mini circuit breaker and RCD protection, as per BS regulations.Â
Why This Product Was Selected:
The TP33 generator was chosen based on precise calculations of motor kW requirements provided by the customer. Its 30kVA prime output was determined to be the ideal size for powering the equipment reliably.
Services Provided:
- Supply and delivery of the generator.
- Installation and certification of bespoke sockets.
- On-site testing to ensure the generator could handle the motor load effectively.
Project Completion Timeline
The entire project was completed in just three days, showcasing Target Power’s ability to deliver high-quality, custom-built solutions on a tight schedule. This included:
Day 1: Mounting and installing the bespoke three-phase and single-phase sockets.
Day 2: Certifying and testing the generator to ensure compliance with operational requirements.
Day 3: Delivering the fully operational generator to the client’s site, followed by on-site testing to confirm the generator could power the bus lifting equipment.
Why Choose the TP33 Generator?
The TP33 30kVA Prime Generator, powered by a Perkins engine, offers exceptional reliability and durability, making it an ideal choice for powering critical equipment like bus lifts. Key features of the TP33 generator include:
Robust Performance: The generator’s 30kVA prime output ensures stable and consistent power for the motors operating the lifting equipment.
Custom Configuration: The addition of two 32 Amp three-phase sockets and one 16 Amp single-phase socket tailored the generator to meet the unique power requirements of the facility.
Fuel Efficiency: The Perkins engine is renowned for its economic fuel consumption, minimizing operational costs over the long term.
Cost-Effective Solution: By investing in a permanent generator, A1 Coaches significantly reduced costs compared to continuing with a rental unit. The Perkins 1103A-33G engine used in the TP33, uses just 7.1 Litres of fuel per hour, at 100% load.
Customer Benefits
The delivery of the TP33 generator provided A1 Coaches with several key advantages:
Elimination of Rental Costs: Switching from a rental generator to a purchased unit saved the facility substantial costs in the long run.
Quick Turnaround: The ability to deliver a fully functional generator in just three days ensured minimal disruption to their maintenance operations.
Custom Power Solution: The tailored socket configuration and on-site testing guaranteed the generator was ready to meet the demands of their equipment immediately.
Conclusion
The successful completion of this project highlights Target Power’s expertise in delivering customized diesel generator solutions within challenging timelines. A1 Coaches now benefits from a reliable and cost-effective power source that supports their essential maintenance activities, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
