6LC7.1-50Hz

The Caterpillar 6LC7.1-50Hz is a medium‑speed, 6‑cylinder diesel engine coupled to a generator set delivering approximately 285 kW (356 kVA) at 1500 rpm for shipboard auxiliary power; source-listed power 300.0 kW. The supplied category identifies it as Auxiliary Engine (Generator Set), and it is normally installed in the engine room as a generator prime mover or other ship-service auxiliary engine. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide mechanical power for electrical generation or another auxiliary shipboard duty. Generator-set versions are integrated with an alternator and electrical protection, while standalone auxiliary engines may drive other machinery; both use the same core diesel support systems. Within the supplied list, this entry is distinguished from neighbouring variants by its model designation and the explicitly listed power; no further model-specific difference is stated in the source. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
