The M1276A1 series of Northern Lights generator sets are built to be run at high loads. Based on the solid reliability of a four-valve Lugger diesel engine, the M1276A can produce reliable on-board power, with a kilowatt range of 235 kW at 60 Hz (1800 RPM) or 200 kW at 50 Hz (1500 RPM).
Northern Lights engineers its generators around its very important core principles. At the forefront is a commitment to creating high power in a reliably efficient package. The cast iron exhaust manifold combines with the expansion tank and heat exchanger housings on the M1276 series into a durable, robust jacket water cooling system.
Advanced engineering has minimized the number of hoses, belts and gaskets and most service points are conveniently located on one common side to allow for easier maintenance. M1276A1’s are also designed to allow for longer time between oil changes than comparable models.
The ultra high pressure electronic fuel injection on the M1276A1 series allows for quick and smokeless starts – even when cold – and improves fuel economy. The electronic control unit promotes protection by self-diagnosis.
Safety and peace of mind also come standard with your Northern Lights generator set. Northern Lights DC Logic System continually monitors vital engine functions. The automatic AC voltage regulator keeps voltage to +/- 1% to help protect the most sensitive instruments and electronics from possible power dips and/or surges. Automatic safety shutdowns for low oil pressure and high coolant temperature are additional standard features of the M1276A1 family.
Compact and high powered, the M1276A1 is also engineered for comfort with features like isolation mounts to reduce vibration. The closed-loop crankcase vent, intake silencers and cast valve covers help keep any engine room extremely quiet and clean. Optional Northern Lights innovations like InSep and our super attenuated sound enclosures can dramatically reduce the generator set’s sound signatures.
With Northern Lights’ famous commonality in parts, and easy customization, your M1276A1 series generator set can be as unique as your vessel. You have enough worries on the high seas, so your power generation system shouldn’t be one of them. And thanks to the reliability, durability and simplicity of Northern Lights’ M1276A1, it doesn’t have to be.
