A MODULAR POWER PACK WITH 23kW 4-CYLINDER KUBOTA ENGINE - FITTED WITH A 28VDC 270A BRUSHLESS ALTERNATOR AND 28CC SWASH PLATE HYDRAULIC PUMP
Ref no. T5 - APU
The T5 AUXILIARY ELECTRIC & HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT is a modular power pack with a 23kW 4-Cylinder Kubota engine (derated 21kW @55°C) fitted with a 28VDC 120A Brushless alternator and 28cc swash plate hydraulic pump. It supplies:
- 28VDC, 120A to charge the vehicle batteries or supply the total electrical requirement of the turret including a possible WMS system, without starting the vehicle main engine.
- To power a 28cc swash plate hydraulic pump.
The APU/HPU system does not restrict the standard operational features of the vehicle in terms of firing and mobility. Fuel and power to start the system are supplied from the vehicle.
The electrical connections, looms between the aircon, power units, electronic control panels and electrical control gear are designed and selected for operation in military environments, which include adverse temperatures, EMI/EMC as well as severe shock and vibration.
The power unit is equipped with a custom designed electronic controller, capable of all control and safety functions. The controller automatically regulates the engine speed according to load to conserve fuel, reduce noise and prolong engine life. The system has a Bluetooth login interface for remote monitoring via a smartphone app and/or laptop. Installation of the units requires minimal vehicle modifications.
