Emergency Generator Set · Emergency Power
The Volvo Penta D5 Marine Emergency is a 100 kW diesel‑generator set designed to provide compliant emergency power on board ships, featuring rapid auto‑start (≈45 s) and dual MGO/MDO fuel capability. As an Emergency Generator Set, it is normally installed in an independent emergency-generator room or other approved location separated from the main machinery space. In that role, its primary purpose is to supply essential emergency electrical loads after loss of the main source of ship power. Compared with normal auxiliary generators, the emergency set has dedicated automatic-start, starting-energy, fuel and emergency-switchboard interfaces intended to remain available after a main-space casualty. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
