per item
This advanced, lightweight 2kW generator has  been selected by the Ministry of Defence as the standard British Army 2kW generator for service throughout the world over the next 15 years.
Designed and built to a very demanding specification, the LFG has many advantages over conventional machines.

Trials and tests

As is standard with equipment entering MOD service, the LFG was subjected to the most exhaustive tests, ensuring that the set would excel in any conceivable environment.

Tests included:

Severe vibration and bump programmes
Extreme temperature tests at maximum output
Exhaustive reliability qualification testing over
48 battlefield mission cycles, equating to 8800 hours runtime.
EMC testing to Defstan 59-41 Class C, and no radio interference at 15 metres
Electrical performance to Defstan 61-5 (Part 2)
PMG : Permanent Magnet Generator
The LFG utilises a PMG type alternator and inverter, allowing significantly reduced weight, and vastly increased fuel efficiency over a standard alternator.
Multi-output 28V DC/110V AC/230V AC – Supplies any combination of either AC voltage and 28V DC at the same time up to 2.2kW on 10% overload
Perfect sine wave output
Highly robust

3897 Light Field Generators in active service

The Warthog vehicles are soon to enter service with the British Army in Afghanistan. The command vehicles are to be fitted with Harrington Generators International’s (HGI) 2 kW Light Field Generator (LFG). HGI’s LFG is used as an auxiliary power source when the main vehicle engine is not running.

The LFGs are fitted into the tracked vehicles using a purpose built cradle which assists the user getting it in and out of the armoured vehicle quickly. The 2kW generators are designed and built to exceed Def Stan 61-5 (part 2) in electrical performance. The sets are fully EMC compliant and are tested to withstand the harshest of environments.

Bryan Harris, Managing Director of HGI said, “This contract has successfully demonstrated our ability to produce a technically complex quality product which has not only met the customer requirements but has gone on to exceed them.”

The HGI 2kW LFG features revolutionary Permanent Magnet Technology; resulting in a generator that is extremely light weight and which provides incredible power.

The generator has the ability to output any voltage configuration at anytime; 110Volts, 240Volts AC and 28Volts DC. This set can run at multiple speeds with total voltage stability for sensitive applications, whilst delivering optimum fuel efficiency.

Warthog is a development of ST Kinetics Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier, which is a proven platform with a payload of over 5 tons. The articulated design gives it exceptional mobility across a wide range of terrain and climates. The vehicle is extensively armoured and will give troops improved protection in Afghanistan’s green zones.
