1045kW @ 1500RPM (50Hz). For on board power generation and diesel electric drives in continuous operation with varied load.
In addition to diesel mechanical engines the MTU 4000 Series engine can be offered as a complete generator for a diesel-electronic propulsion system / onboard power generation. In this case, the mechanical energy produced by the diesel engine is converted into electricity using a generator, and then transmitted to the ships propellers. The power output of the 4000 Series in this 50Hz generator configuration ranges from 760 to 1760kw (1019 to 2360hp) at 1500 rpm.
