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 cupro-nickel heat exchanger, and a gear-driven seawater pump. All models have isochronous 0% frequency droop control and are available in 3-phase with a 0.8 power factor or single-phase with a unity 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 cast iron expansion tank. The engines use a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system for improved fuel economy and low emissions.
Advanced Features: The M1066 Series includes an Electronic System Profiler (ESP) for real-time monitoring, a robust DC electrical system, and an isochronous electronic governor for precise frequency control. They meet ABS and Lloyd’s standards for reliability and safety.
Customization Options: Options include sound enclosures, high HP front power take-offs, and additional control panels, allowing integration into a tailored power system for specific vessel requirements.
Conclusion: The Northern Lights M1066 Series is ideal for yachtsmen seeking a high-quality, reliable power solution, focusing on advanced technology and ease of maintenance.
Engine Data: The Lugger Marine Diesel Engine features inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engines with a displacement of 414 cid (6.8 liters) and horsepower ranging from 150 HP at 1800 RPM to 286 HP. Oil capacity with filter is 20 to 34 quarts (19 to 32.5 liters).
Cooling System: Heat exchanger cooling capacity is approximately 6.5 gallons (24.7 liters). Freshwater pump capacity is 60 gpm (227 lpm) at 60 Hz and 50 gpm (189 lpm) at 50 Hz. Seawater pump capacity is 24 to 42 gpm (91 to 159 lpm) at 60 Hz and 20 to 35 gpm (76 to 133 lpm) at 50 Hz.
Electrical System: The DC starting voltage is 12V (optional 24V), with a minimum battery capacity of 225 amp hr/12V CCA (570 for 24V CCA). Starter rolling amps are 920 at 12VDC (600 at 24VDC).
Air & Exhaust Systems: Generator cooling air flow is 1100 cfm at 60 Hz and 915 cfm at 50 Hz. Exhaust gas volume ranges from 851 to 1317 cfm at 60 Hz and 600 to 1112 cfm at 50 Hz. Maximum exhaust back pressure is 30 inches H2O (762 mm H2O).
Fuel System: The fuel injection pump is rotary electronic. Maximum fuel transfer pump suction lift is 36 inches (914 mm). Specific fuel consumption at max load is approximately 0.351 to 0.377 lbs.hp.hr at 60 Hz and 0.347 to 0.355 lbs.hp.hr at 50 Hz.
Operating Angles: Continuous operation allows for a front down angle of 0-5° (0-10°) and rear down of 0-12°. Intermittent operation allows for up to 30° in any direction.
Dimensions and Weight: Set dimensions vary slightly by model, with lengths around 87 inches (2215 mm), widths around 32 inches (812 mm), and heights around 45 inches (1146 mm). Dry weight ranges from 2791 lbs (1266 kg) to 3646 lbs (1643 kg).
Additional Information: Contact the factory for specific data on heat rejection, freshwater pump capacity, and other parameters. Dimensions and specifications are subject to change without notice.

M1066 Sries NORTHERN LIGHTS Reliability. Durability. Simplicity. The M1066 Sries marine generator sets are powered by new, US EPA Tier II compliant, Lugger diesel engines. Selection without compromise. Underloaded and overloaded generators cause problems and waste money. With five 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. 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. 99-185 kW 60 Hz / 1800 RPM 80-155 kW 50 Hz / 1500 RPM Each generator incorporates new features that add high power density to the Northern Lights IlER <CE> reputation for cast-iron reliability, durability, and simplicity. 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. 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 world's premier builders. Service is handled by our international dealer network and our factory branches. Advanced simplicity. Simple to operate and maintain. Hoses, gaskets and belts have been minimized. DC control panels keep you in touch with your set's performance while safety shut-downs protect it. Special 500 hour oil changes, oil drains, one side service and owners manuals simplify maintenance. 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 finest materials. 驕 Junction box contains AC terminal strip, automatic AC voltage regulator with fuse, DC relays and DC breaker.
