Power solutions for maritime services in Panama
PROJECT
A company that offers storage and handling services for oil and petrochemical products selected PRAMAC to join in the project of 3MW power plant composed by 1.260 kVA gensets at 60 Hz, 480 volts running in parallel 7/24 h, supplying energy to the island of Taboguilla, a service point for all the ships waiting for their turn to pass the Panama Canal. The required gensets had to be equipped with marine engines at 900 rpm to avoid rusting problems. PRAMAC offered an alternative standard 1.500 rpm gensets, but with a stainless steel radiator to avoid rusting problems.
