32 ALTERNATORS P7
Ambatovy Project deployed generator sets equipped with P7 alternators
STAMFORD P7 alternators currently play a vital role in delivering the 37.5 MVA prime power requirements for a US$15 million combined Nickel-Cobalt mining and processing project operating in Madagascar, reports WIP.
T
he largest capital project in the history of Madagascar, the
Ambatovy Project, has deployed generator sets equipped with STAMFORD P7 alternators to help meet its requirement for prime power. They play an essential role as part of a US$15 million combined mine and processing project which is responsbile for a substantial contribution to the country’s future prosperity. “In total, 30 generator sets using STAMFORD P7 alternators were installed at the site, and have since ensured the supply of power that is crucial to this project, which has the potential to sustainably boost the economy of Madagascar and the standard of living for its
“The STAMFORD P7 alternators used on the project are from a range of modern & versatile alternators which have become a popular choice for applications requiring reliable power in harsh environments.”
people,” reports Nicola Morgan-Evans, General Manager for Commercial Power Systems at Cummins South Africa, an official STAMFORD | AvK distributor. The generator sets into which the STAMFORD P7 alternators are fitted are a rental-spec design. However, thanks to the durability of their

components and their ability to operate reliably in the harsh environmental conditions of the project, the customer felt confident in purchasing the generator sets outright. Support, service and a commitment to delivering and setting up in a short time frame were further key factors in the decision to purchase. The 1,250 kVA generator sets,
equipped with Cummins KTA50-G3 engines, provide 37.5 MVA of power and operate 24/7 from two plants, each supplying 18.75 MVA. Each plant is equipped with 15 x C1250 D2R units for prime power, 15x 0.4 kV/11 kV step-up transformers, two 20ft containerised MV cells including Digital
Management Control system DMC300s and MV switchgear. The Ambatovy Project is a
large tonnage nickel and cobalt project with annual production capacity estimated at 60,000 tons of nickel, 5,600 tons of cobalt and around 190,000 tons of ammonium sulphate. The Ambatovy project has an
estimated project life of 27 years, and is regarded as one of the world’s biggest lateritic nickel mines.
