DIESEL GENERATOR SETS mtu SERIES 4000

Providing mission-critical power for 25 years // POWER RANGE 60 Hz: 1,125 – 3,250 kWe

Reliable energy supply: Anytime, anywhere

No matter how different the requirements for distributed energy supply are,  mtu  systems will always give you the best solution. Our Series 4000 diesel-powered generator sets can be designed flexibly depending on the application and location. They are available in six different ratings — including Standby, Prime and Data Center Continuous Power and the performance range runs from 1,125 to 3,250 kWe (60 Hz).

No matter which design you choose, our generator sets meet the highest demands in terms of quality, performance and fuel efficiency. Wherever and whenever they are needed, they ensure reliable power supply in the event of a grid failure – in hospitals, data centers, airports, healthcare, waste water treatment plants, industrial manufacturing plants, residential buildings, public facilities, decentralized power stations, microgrids and hybrid solutions.

Superior power

Mission-critical systems require fast-start capability and one-step load acceptance. That’s why we have designed our systems to offer more available power within only a few seconds. We offer industry leading load factors up to 100% for data centers and up to 85% for standby applications. This exceeds the established industry norms such as ISO 8528-1 and allows even more operating hours for prime, emergency

standby and data center applications. With the recent introduction of the Data Center Continuous Rating our  mtu  Series 4000 products are also in compliance with the high requirements of the Uptime Institute’s Tier I-IV certification levels. This way, we can deliver sophisticated power solutions with even more actual available power than other manufacturers with the same nominal power — regardless of the circumstances.

Highest power quality

In case of an emergency, our  mtu  Series 4000 generator sets will provide their full electrical power within a few seconds – synchronized to the grid, to another power source or to other gensets in parallel. They are capable of accepting extremely high load steps without having significant frequency and voltage deviations and sacrificing the power quality. All  mtu  Series 4000 generator sets overachieve ISO 8528-5 performance class G2 and G3 and their respective performance and power quality requirements for dynamic loading application, removal and recovery time. Even while keeping all performance limits for G3,  mtu  Series 4000 generator sets can accept more than 50% load in the first step and 100% block load acceptance according to NFPA 110 requirements.

Extremely fast load acceptance

Higher load steps possible for fast availability

Minimal frequency and voltage deviations

Maximum resilience

Our  mtu  Series 4000 gensets operate trouble-free with the highest power quality even under extreme conditions. They have proven their resilience again and again in continuous operation and with full loads in the heat, cold, and dust, as well as with frequent load changes. In addition to their well-known longevity, their low-maintenance construction and long service intervals also ensure cost-effectiveness. They minimize expenses and downtime and ensure that all equipment is fully operational again in record time.

Highly robust against derating

even under extreme ambient conditions

Full lifecycle services

With  mtu  products you get the power, performance and peace of mind to focus on what matters most — your business. Our digitally connected power systems, wrapped in  mtu  ValueCare Agreements, make it easy to optimize lifecycle costs, maximize uptime and devote more time and resources to your core business, with tailored solutions to move your business forward.

Further service products such our manufacturer’s certified Lifetime-Based Overhauls (LTBO) sustain the operation of the equipment for another lifecycle and significantly reduce the risk of failure due to aging or corrosion.

Additionally, our Extended Coverages provide warranty of unexpected repair cost beyond your standard warranty, tailored specifically to meet your needs.

Clean technology

Helping clients to achieve the ambitious emissions reductions targets laid out in the Paris Agreement requires solutions that are both innovative and individually adaptable. More than anything, it calls for a corporate commitment aimed at continually pioneering ever cleaner and more sustainable technological advancements.

In addition to meeting highest standards in fuel efficiency, our Series 4000 generator sets can now also be operated with renewable drop-in fuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) or synthetic fuels such as Gas-to-Liquid (GtL) in accordance with the EN15940 standard. The use of renewable fuels alone can lead to significant C02 reductions over the complete lifecycle. Renewable fuels such as HVO are one crucial step to combine proven and reliable diesel generators for mission-critical backup power with your journey to net-zero.
