Whisperpower's new Genverter range

Whisperpower has introduced its Genverter range of variable rpm diesel generators for yachts.

The Genverter M-GV 4 Basic is a variable rpm 3.8 kVA, 230 V diesel generator in which the rpm is adjusted to power demands. The higher the requirements, the higher the rpm; the lower the demand, the lower the rpm. Variable Speed Technology applies a Permanent Magnet flywheel alternator making the system more compact and virtually silent. The Permanent Magnet generator - integrated in the flywheel of the motor - has a much higher output than traditional fixed rpm generators (94%). Combined with the variable rpm concept this results in considerable fuel savings (25% average) compared to conventional systems, as well as less maintenance and a longer lifespan.

The Genverter M-GV 7i hybrid model combines the Genverter Basic technology with a sine wave inverter and a 3-stage battery charger. The total capacity of the system is 7 kW with a peak capacity of over 10 kW, while the diesel generator only runs to charge the battery, or feed larger AC consumers, switching off when loads are low. When connected the 230 V equipment continues to operate, without pause, on the 3.5 kW (7 kW peak) sine wave inverter, which is connected to the 24VDC board battery. For 12 Volt systems the inverter supplies 2 kW of continuous power. There is also a 48 VDC model available.

The system is supplied with WhisperPower Gel or AGM batteries, which are charged when the Genverter is connected to shore power. Once the battery approaches a certain discharge level and no shore connection is available, the diesel motor automatically switches on to supply the consumers and recharge the battery. A low shore power or amperage is automatically compensated for by the battery/inverter.
