Engine Performance You Can Count On

The MTU 18V2000G85E at the heart of this generator is a proven powerhouse. With 18 cylinders arranged in a V configuration, a displacement of 35.84 cubic inches, and a bore and stroke of 130 x 150 mm, it produces a maximum standby output of 1,310 kW at rated RPM. 

The turbocharged air inlet and Air/Air DC cooling system optimize combustion efficiency, while exhaust gas temperatures reach 510 degrees C with a flow rate of 4,000 L/s. The engine also maintains low emission levels, including CO output of just 0.52 g/kW.h and particulate matter at 0.03 g/kWh, reflecting a commitment to responsible power generation.

X1200UC2 Alternator and Electrical Specifications

The Leroy-Somer LSA 50.2 M6 alternator is a direct-coupled, brushless, single-bearing unit with Class H insulation and AVR regulation. It delivers a continuous nominal rating of 1,560 kVA at 40 degrees C and a standby rating of 1,720 kVA at 27 degrees C, with efficiency reaching 95% at full load. 

Total harmonic distortion is held below 3.5% both at no load and on load, ensuring clean, stable power delivery suitable for sensitive equipment. Protection is rated at IP 23, and the alternator is capable of maintaining short circuit current at 3 ln for 10 seconds, providing an added layer of electrical safety.

X1200UC2 Control Panel Options

Three control panel options are available to match your operational needs. The M80 is a straightforward dual-function unit combining a terminal block with direct-read instrument displays for essential engine parameters including oil pressure, coolant temperature, and a working hours counter. 

The TELYS panel steps up with a full suite of electrical measurements, alarm monitoring, and communication features including USB and PC connectivity, all navigated through an intuitive scroll wheel interface. For the most demanding power plant environments, the APM802 offers a fully touch-screen human-machine interface designed for hospitals, data centers, banks, and industrial facilities, with PLC communication functions and customization compliant with IEC 61131-3.

Built for Serious Power Applications

Whether configured in the compact open version or housed in an ISO 20 or CIR 20 Ssi container enclosure, the X1200UC2 is engineered to perform in the most demanding environments. 

Container options include a 500-liter fuel tank and acoustic pressure ratings as low as 89 dB(A) at 1 meter in the super-silent configuration. This is a generator built without compromise, and it is ready to power your facility when it matters most.
