Have you guys also seen my feature on the Jenbacher 612? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4a4eHyLZdylh9U

[@sgtellioman]

Used to care for two of these bad boys in a major hospital. Helluva feeling standing next to them while they are running.

[@RossPerryProductions]

It sure is, in this building there were 4no in line but each one in separate containers.

[@ralphaverill2001]

Several years ago I worked as an electrician on a project to install facilities for eleven Cat V16 gen-sets for ESPN generating at 13.8 kv. I don't know if they were this model, but they were Cat V16's. Very complicated, and very impressive at the end to see eight of these engines in a row.

[@RossPerryProductions]

I bet, should of made a video of them all running, there seems to be a good following on here, thank you for your comment :)

[@ralphaverill2001]

I never got a chance to see testing with all of them running in parallel and carrying the ESPN Bristol campus. The Russelectric controls were incredible, and the 15 kv buss duct and switching gear were impressive as well. I just never got to see the end result. When your job's done, you don't hang around, you get re-assigned.

[@ianm432]

This is so satisfying. The fit and finish of everything I can see in the video is excellent. Worked on a power generation project with main details I can't discuss but diesel fired (no spark plugs to maintain) natural gas fueled power generation. It was originally designed to reduce electricity costs for a factory but they've figured out that they can shut the plant down and sell power back to the grid when the price goes up and make more money.

[@RossPerryProductions]

Yea right. Cat got put out of the trucking industry because they where afraid to deal with emissions components. Cummins is the only one that survived albeit pos paccar engines.

[@junaidahmed7]

The place is so congested to do maintenance work in future,

[@brockm808]

Those enclosures are for environmental control and air intake control/filtration for the engine. Over sizing it would be counter intuitive since it would make control more difficult and require more material which means more money. And if you consider how much maintenance is done on this engine it would make no sense to spend the money. Change filters, top up oil, and do routine checks while its running (i.e. poke your head in and make sure its not too hot, has oil and sounds normal). Other than that these engines are built to last and any major repairs would be few and far between, and if major repairs are required there will be access points and disconnects so they can do work on any part of the engine. Also note the enclosure is meant to reduce the incredibly high and constant noise levels generated, so this man should have hearing protection at all times near this while it's running.

[@RossPerryProductions]

There is enough room to be able to fully disassemble the engine in place.

I see 7 main power cables, 6 red and one smaller cable which means this genset is 6 phase

[@RossPerryProductions]

Hi there, thank you for your comment. No that is incorrect: Its 3 Phase but the star point is External, so 3 phases out (3 cables), and the other 3 are the end of the windings, which are joined externally. This is done through a Currernt Transformer (CT). There is also another matched CT at the switchgear end, between them they form a protection zone. We do this after the alternator so that the main windings are "within the protected zone". The additional cable is the Earth.

[@rrknl5187]

Here in the US, this is called 'Differential Protection'. Generally speaking, our highest 'low voltage' is 277/480 and our lowest 'medium voltage' is 2400/4160. It's fairly rare to see differential protection on 480 but it's very common on 4160 and higher. Good video, I've never seen a 175 but I've worked with a lot of 3512s and 3516s.

thanks for your comment

[@nickparfait8179]

can i fit this in a pickup truck?

[@RossPerryProductions]

yes of course, you must might have to sit on the roof.

[@jaswingnut]

Built in Caterpillar Northern Ireland?

[@RossPerryProductions]

Hi there Jaswingnut, I am not 100% if I am honest, sorry.

[@jaswingnut]

@@RossPerryProductions used to work there wiring containerised gensets like that. I'm sure quality has dropped to all time lows since I left. 😂. It would scare you if you knew some of the people that worked on them though. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

[@RossPerryProductions]

@@jaswingnut I bet!!

[@dimmacommunication]

What is this engine used for ? fuel consumption ?

[@RossPerryProductions]

Hi there, this one in particular was a bank of four on the roof providing 100% back up to a laboratory. The fuel consumption vastly changes depending on the load of the engine.

these also came in Peterbult truck but rare

[@oldmateize]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[@markarmstrong3394]

88driver243 they had 3408 which was a V8 also had a V12 back in the 70's-80's . But nothing this big.

+Mark Armstrong The 3408 may not be as big, but you can't tell me it's not a beast of an engine. The crane company I work for uses Grove cranes for everything above 30 tons, and they all have 3408s in them, even the 90 ton and 300 ton behemoths we have in the yard. My favourite part of any year would be when they're doing overhauls on the Cats and then test-run them without the mufflers. It's like the most badass big-block sound I've ever heard in person. Sounds just like a muscle car on steroids. Matter of fact, if I could figure out how to get a 3408 to fit between the rails in my Impala, I would most-certainly do it.

[@gm16v149]

I've got a 3408 in my Kenworth truck, it's done huge hours and been ultra reliable. You can't go past Caterpillar.

[@RossPerryProductions]

There are a few different sizes within the range, would probably be a smaller unit.
