Perkins has boosted its 4000 Series Electric Power line-up with the introduction of a powerful new 16 cylinder power unit.

The 4016-61TRG diesel engine offers outstanding power density and compactness and has been developed to provide cost-effective prime and standby power.

The new engine series extends the power range upwards by ten per cent compared to the 4016TAG2A, providing customers with greater engine choice, and is available as an ElectropaK or Elecrounit specification.

Its premium features of exceptional power to weight ratio and good load acceptance for both prime and standby power, aligned to overall cost of ownership and reliability characteristics make this engine the power generation industry’s first choice of power.

Making use of direct injection combustion technology, the compact family of three 61 litre air to water chargecooled engines provide optimum power density for ease of installation, offering tangible benefits to both genset packagers and end users.  

The 4016-61TRG range is available at both 50 and 60Hz with standby powers from 2000 -2500KVA at 1500rpm and 1650 -2000KWe at 1800rpm. (Full details below)

The introduction of the 4016-61TRG further strengthens Perkins’ presence as a full range supplier to the Electric Power market and represents a cost-effective solution to market requirements.”
