Product catalog summary
Overview: The Northern Lights M1066 Series marine generator sets are designed for reliability, durability, and simplicity, powered by US EPA Tier II compliant Lugger diesel engines. They offer high power density and smooth, quiet operation.
Specifications: Models range from 80 kW to 185 kW, suitable for 60 Hz and 50 Hz applications. Features include a brushless generator with a Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) for automatic voltage regulation, a 12-volt battery charging alternator, and a cupro-nickel heat exchanger for efficient cooling. All models have isochronous 0% frequency droop control and operate at a standard 3-phase with a 0.8 power factor.
Design and Construction: The generators are built for ease of maintenance and operation, featuring a welded steel base with a drip pan, hydrolastic vibration isolation mounts, and a molded belt guard. Engines have a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system for improved fuel economy and low emissions.
Cooling and Lubrication Systems: The freshwater cooling system includes a heat exchanger and a cast iron expansion tank. The lubrication system features a positive displacement gear-type oil pump and a full-flow, spin-on oil filter, with a 500-hour oil change interval.
Advanced Features: Includes an Electronic System Profiler (ESP) for real-time monitoring, options for additional control panels, and sound enclosures. The generators meet ABS and Lloyd’s standards, with a ±0.5% voltage regulation and a 300% short circuit capability.
Customization Options: Options include high HP front power take-offs, double wall fuel lines, shutdowns and prealarms, and paralleling components for multiple generator installations.
Engine Data: Lugger Marine Diesel Engines have inline 6-cylinder configurations with turbocharging and aftercooling. Displacement is 414 cubic inches (6.8 liters), with horsepower ranging from 150 HP to 286 HP at 1800 RPM.
Cooling System: Heat exchanger cooling capacity is approximately 6.5 gallons (24.7 liters). Minimum seawater inlet/discharge diameter is specified for different models.
Electrical System: DC starting voltage is standard at 12V, with an optional 24V. Minimum battery capacity is 225 amp hours/800 CCA for 12V systems.
Air & Exhaust Systems: Generator cooling air flow is 1100 cfm for 60 Hz and 915 cfm for 50 Hz. Exhaust gas volume and temperature vary by model and frequency.
Fuel System: Features a rotary electronic fuel injection pump with a maximum fuel transfer pump suction lift of 36 inches (914 mm).
Operating Angles: Continuous operation allows for a front down angle of 0-5° and rear down of 0-12°. Intermittent operation permits angles up to 30°.
Dimensions and Weight: Set dimensions and weights vary based on cooling and phase configurations. Sound enclosure dimensions and weights are also specified.
Conclusion: The Northern Lights M1066 Series is ideal for yachtsmen seeking reliable, high-performance marine generators, offering a robust power solution with a focus on quality and advanced features.

 60 Hz / 1800 rpm: 160 kW M1066 marine generator-1

Advanced simplicity. Simple to operate and maintain. Hoses, gaskets and belts have been minimized. DC control panels keep you in touch with your sets performance while safety shut-downs protect it. Special 500 hour oil changes, oil drains, one side service and owners manuals simplify maintenance. Selection without compromise. Underloaded and overloaded generators cause problems and waste money. With ve models from 80 kW to185 kW, there is an M1066, 60 Hz or 50 Hz set that is just the right size for your vessel. Tough Lugger diesels. Built for continuous duty, many Lugger powered sets have logged over 30,000 hours without a rebuild. The M1066 has the features to continue this tradition of reliability. Rugged components built from the nest materials. Multiple set power teams. Northern Lights broad range, 5 kW to 520 kW, lets you combine multiple sets aboard your vessel. Use two M1066s to simplify maintenance and parts supplies. A smaller unit can be a night set. Mix and match sets for the best, single source power solution. Silky smooth and whisper quiet. Noise and vibration abatement is a top Northern Lights priority. All M1066s have crankshaft vibration dampers. Standard equipment hydrolastic mounts isolate 98% of set vibration from your hull. A cast valve cover absorbs valve clatter and traps crankcase oil vapor for a clean engine room. The cast iron, fresh water cooled exhaust manifold absorbs combustion noise. Choose a Northern Lights super attenuated enclosure with InSep exhaust system to lower sound levels even more. An important decision. Whether you are building a new yacht or repowering, your future enjoyment depends on the generator set you choose today. It will run day and night, so smooth, quiet operation, long engine life, and fuel consumption are major considerations. With so much depending on your new set, it pays to choose one that is built up to a high standard of quality; not down to a low price. It pays to choose Northern Lights. > Reliability. Durability. Simplicity. The M1066 Series marine generator sets are powered by new, US EPA Tier II compliant, Lugger diesel engines. Each generator incorporates new features that add high power density to the Northern Lights reputation for cast-iron reliability, durability, and simplicity. The heritage continues. Four decades of marine experience stands behind every Northern Lights. Yachtsmen like you have made them standard equipment on yachts from the worldҒs premier builders. Service is handled by our international dealer network and our factory branches. > A1, A2, A3, H: two pass, cupro-nickel aftercooler. O-ring sealed, no gaskets. Easy to clean oval tubes.
