M20CRW3

20 kW sets go into commercial vessels that need continuous AC power to operate. Without power the work doesn’t get done. Unfortunately most sets this size have small displacement, light duty diesels that can’t stand up to heavy use. Some even need turbochargers to compensate for their small displacement.

The M20CRW3 is different. Powered by a naturally aspirated, four cylinder, 2.2 liter (135 cid) Lugger diesel, this set has the low end torque needed to start big electric motors without breaking a sweat.

You choose heat exchanger or keel cooling. The marinization is designed to reduce belts, hoses, gaskets and other trouble spots. The components are stoutly built from the best materials: cast-iron, cupro-nickel, stainless steel and bronze.

Strong and clean, the Lugger meets US EPA Tier III emission standards to protect the environment you depend on for your living.
An engineer’s dream, the set is simple to operate and maintain. The DC electrical system uses reliable relays instead of delicate printed circuit boards. If a failure should occur, you can simply plug in an inexpensive relay. Relay DC logic lets you have multiple control panels up to 110 feet from the set. All service points are on one side within easy reach.

Need hydraulic power? Add an optional electric clutch front PTO. At the touch of a button you have up to 30 HP at 1800 rpm to run your hydraulic equipment.

Got a big job hauling, towing, pushing patrolling or fishing? Need a simple, reliable, durable, affordable set? You’ve found it. Let your dealer put a M20CRW3 to work for you before your next trip out.

M30CW3

Commercial operators have a specific and challenging set of expectations for their power systems. Generators should be able to run at full load for extended periods. If they can’t; that equates to time lost and livelihoods threatened.

No one understands this better than Northern Lights. Our product line began in the unforgiving Alaskan fishing grounds. We have made improvements over the years, but have never forgotten the commitment to making the most reliable, durable and simple to use machines on the market.

Case in point: the M30CW. Cranking out 30 kW at 60 Hz, the M30CW is a true low-maintenance workhorse. Single side service, minimal hoses and belts, and an industry-best warranty all add up to an excellent “plug and play” power solution for the commercial operator whose bottom line depends on reliable performance.

The M30CW is engineered to withstand the rigors of commercial seagoing. Built for long life at full load, the M30CW is driven by a powerful Lugger engine and features Northern Lights’ exclusive W-Series generator end. The auxiliary stator winding provides real 300% short circuit protection and cleaner AC output than comparable generator models.

Easily customizable, the M30CW even has the ability to deliver full engine power to a front PTO, enabling the user to run winches, thrusters or deck gear at the touch of a button.

No detail has been overlooked in engineering a superior marine product. The 3.3 liter displacement provides plentiful power without the need for a turbocharger. The M30CW’s freshwater cooled exhaust manifold is sturdy cast iron with two pass cooling for even temperature control with no dry runners.

For tugs, fishing boats or passenger vessles, the M30CW is a true turn-key workhorse. You can learn more about the M30CW marine generator set by contacting your local dealer or visiting our website.

M38CR2

Don’t trust your livelihood to anything less than the best marine power products on the market.

In commercial applications, heavy duty fuel-efficient continuous duty generator sets are a must. Poorly designed, budget conscious gensets that are ill equipped to run full load day-in, day-out can literally endanger livelihoods. Answering the call of the commercial operator is the new Northern Lights M38CR2.

A turbo-charged generator set to meet the demands of the commercial marine operator, the M38CR2 is custom marinized for 38kW of continuous on-board power. The M38CR2 achieves full power at 1800 RPM and is reconnectable for either three or single phase operation.

Based on a heavy-duty tractor engine, the M38CR2 is built for long-life at full load. The cast iron, two-pass exhaust manifold provides durability and even temperature control. The exhaust manifold and turbo charger are fresh water cooled. Welded steel base frame and center bonded vibration mounts provide stability and reduce the wear and tear associated with vibration.

Despite being technologically advanced, the M38CR2 is remarkably simple to operate with a mechanical fuel system, easily accessible junction box and single-side service points. Systems are designed to save you time and money in upkeep. Troublesome belts and hoses have been engineered away.

Excellent fuel economy and unrivaled reliability make the M38CR2 an outstanding investment for the commercial operator.

Don’t trust your livelihood to anything less than the state of the art in marine power generation. Exceptional commercial vessels deserve exceptional on board power.

More C-Series

For over 50 years, Northern Lights generators have been working for people who work on the water. From Bering Sea crabbers to bayou mud boats, push boats to high speed ferries; Northern Lights has powered them all. The end result of this experience is the new C2 Series powered by US EPA Tier II compliant, Lugger diesels. C2 sets combine high tech emission controls with the cast-iron reliability, simplicity, durability and product support you expect from a Northern Lights—all at a very affordable price.

Underloaded and overloaded generators cause problems and waste money. With seven models, 20 to 175 kW, there is a Northern Lights commercial set that is right for your job (the Northern Lights full range is from 5 to 520 kW). Mix and match these compatible sets for your best, single source, power solution.

Built for continuous duty, many Lugger powered sets have logged over 30,000 hours without a rebuild. Check the features and you will see why. Replaceable wet cylinder liners, liquid cooled turbos, cast-iron exhaust manifolds, plate oil coolers, cupronickel heat exchangers, gear driven seawater pumps. Rugged components built from the fi nest materials.

Hoses, gaskets and belts have been minimized. Control panels keep you in touch with your set’s performance while safety shutdowns protect it. DC relays are used instead of printed circuit boards. Special 500 hour oil changes and one side service simplify maintenance.

“ESP” is a window to your set’s real time operating condition. The engine control unit that controls the electronic fuel injection on M65C2, M99C2 and M175C2 produces a stream of engine performance and diagnostic information that can be shown on an optional monitor.

The sea is no place for a stand-by generator. All Northern Lights have low 95°/50° temperature rise ratings, Class H epoxy insulation and ±1.5% voltage regulation

Each option is designed to integrate into a total power system custom built for your vessel. Consider a high power PTO that can supply up to 149 HP of hydraulic power at a touch of a button.

Complete load testing is done with all accessories installed. Testing is just one of the quality controls that supports your decision to choose the very best commercial generator set for your workboat.

Northern Lights’ quality reputation is a big plus when you sell your vessel. Buyers will know you cared enough to install the very best equipment.

The C-2 Commercial Series: Premium commercial generator sets, at an affordable cost. Don’t risk your livelihood to anything less.
