From gen set creation in Lincolnshire, UK to mining application in the Caribbean

When Lincolnshire, UK based global genset designer Welland Power needed 4 x Critical Standby alternators for a Mining Contractor in the Caribbean they didn’t have to look too far. Built on a reputation for quality and reliability plus a working partnership spanning over 25 years.

Specialising in worldwide export of complete generators and associated equipment, Welland looked to STAMFORD I AvK to support this project.

The alternators needed to be able to withstand a harsh corrosive environment for this Welland Power chose STAMFORD® products.

Reliability was also essential for this critical contact and confident of STAMFORD® P7 ability to deliver this. Welland were willing to work with STAMFORD I AvK to ensure that the genset enclosure was able to accommodate the alternators.

Each enclosure included a P7 alternator, with bespoke windings to meet the requirements of a 50Hz frequency at 480volts, plus a combined total of continuous 7855 kVA output; all specific requirements for the customers application. The gensets used in this project were assembled in the UK and set in a Welland Power manufactured enclosure.

“We use STAMFORD® in our products because of the exceptional quality and internationally accessible warranty.” - Owner, Charles Farrow
