FEATURES

2.3.1

General

The WhisperPower two and three cylinder Genverters combine
2 and 3 cylinder engines with highly efficient Permanent Magnet
alternators. The voltages and frequencies produced, however,
require Genverters to be connected to WhisperPower
PowerCubes or Power Modules producing clean DC or AC output,
as applicable. This is an original concept, which is cost-effective
as wells as easy on installation.
2.3.2

Construction

The Genverter incorporates a diesel engine which has a
permanent magnet alternator in the flywheel. The engine is
mounted on a steel base frame and mounted securely on a
double set of anti-vibration mounting pads in a sound attenuated
canopy. The output of the power from the alternator will be from
zero to 300V-400Hz and 400V-500Hz, depending on the engine
speed. The engine speed is set to strike a balance between fuel

efficiency and comfort. All cables and hoses are guided through
the capsule's sides.
2.3.3

Control

The Digital Control system of the Genverter is based on
microprocessor technology. Several operating modes and
automatic start/stop functions can be programmed and
monitored (refer to Digital Diesel Control user's manual).
All functions can be set from the remote control panel, which
comes as standard with the Genverter, including a 15 m cable.
