The V350C2 is designed to meet ISO 8528 performance standards and is rated at Performance Class G3, making it well-suited for critical power installations. Whether deployed as a primary power source or emergency standby, this generator is built to perform.

Engine Performance and Efficiency

At the heart of the V350C2 is the Volvo TAD1341GE, a six-cylinder inline turbocharged engine with air-to-air intercooling and a 18.1:1 compression ratio. Running at 1,500 RPM, the engine produces a brake mean effective pressure of 17.59 bar and delivers a maximum standby output of 308 kW. Fuel efficiency is a notable strength, with consumption dropping to just 33 L/h at 50% load and climbing to 69 L/h under 110% overload conditions. 

An electronic governor maintains tight frequency regulation within plus or minus 0.5%, ensuring stable output even as loads fluctuate. The cooling system handles up to 107 degrees Celsius maximum water temperature using a glycol-ethylene coolant with a thermostatic range of 82 to 92 degrees Celsius.

Alternator Specs for the SDMO V350C2

The AT02260T alternator is a brushless, single-bearing, directly coupled unit rated at 318 kVA continuous at 40 degrees Celsius and 350 kVA standby at 27 degrees Celsius. Total harmonic distortion is kept below 2.5% under both no-load and full-load conditions, making this generator suitable for sensitive electrical equipment. 

The AVR (automatic voltage regulator) provides stable voltage output, while the transient dip at full load with a 0.8 power factor is held to just 12.9%. With an efficiency rating of 93.7% at full load and an unbalanced load acceptance ratio of 100%, the alternator is engineered to handle real-world power demands without compromise.

Enclosure Options and Noise Control

The V350C2 is available in multiple configurations to suit different site requirements. The open compact version measures 3,160mm in length and keeps acoustic pressure to 77 dB(A) at one meter. For installations requiring weatherproof protection and greater noise attenuation, the M228 canopy enclosure extends the footprint to 4,475mm x 1,410mm x 2,430mm, with noise reduced to 67 dB(A) at seven meters and a guaranteed sound power level of 97 Lwa. 

A double-walled containment variant (M228 DW) is also available, featuring an expanded 1,368L fuel tank and an acoustic pressure of 76 dB(A) at one meter, making it ideal for environmentally sensitive or noise-restricted sites.

Control Panels for the SDMO V350C2

The standard TELYS control panel provides intuitive access to all critical generator functions, including electrical measurements, engine parameters, and fault alarms, all navigated via a scroll wheel interface with USB and PC connectivity for remote monitoring. 

For more complex power plant environments such as hospitals, data centers, and industrial facilities, the optional APM802 offers a fully touch-screen human-machine interface with PLC communication, load regulation, and compliance with IEC 61131-3. Both panels give operators comprehensive visibility and control, ensuring the V350C2 remains dependable across any application.
