Zenith Branching Out

Over the years Zenith Engineering has developed its marine generator range, powered by Isuzu, which can achieve outputs between 6KVA to 110KVA.  Throughout this period we have been able to maintain an extremely competitive position within the market thanks to a combination of Isuzu’s legendary reliability along with the level of quality control Zenith has in its manufacturing capability.

In this particular application the end user required 120Kw of hydraulic power off the front crank shaft power take off while maintaining 90KVA of electrical power from the rear.  This was achieved by converting the Isuzu genuine marine propulsion unit UM6SD1TCX to a marine generator incorporating a Stamford UCI274G alternator rated to 170KVA.  This Isuzu propulsion engine is mechanically injected however by converting the unit to Woodward electronic governing; we are able to operate the propulsion unit as a marine generator engine.  The result has been outstanding with the tested unit achieving the required results to satisfy a well-known fisherman in Adelaide.

Since the development of this latest project in satisfying the end users unique requirements and using the above mentioned methodology we are now capable of converting an Isuzu genuine marine propulsion unit to an Isuzu marine genset achieving an output of 220KVA.
