GE Dual IGBT AC Electric Drive System
Invertex
®
AC control system offers independent control of
the rear wheelmotors, which in turn provides outstanding
traction-ability during wet and slippery conditions, thus
improving tire wear and operator confidence.
The air cooled Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
inverter system technology provides the highest available
reliability. The IGBT inverter is more compact and much
simpler than the design of its predecessor, the Gate Turn
Off (GTO) inverter, which improves serviceability and
routine maintenance.
Komatsu SSDA18V170 High Horsepower Engine
Komatsu’s new SSDA18V170 engine was designed and
developed by the Industrial Power Alliance (IPA) technical
joint venture between Komatsu and Cummins
®
. This
2610 kW 3,500 HP engine will operate in today’s mining
applications without power derate. Fuel efficiency is
maximized due to optimized air handling with 2-stage
turbocharging. A standard pre-lube system is designed to
eliminate start-up wear and increase overhaul life. Standard
features include:
• CENSE
®
on board monitoring of engine performance
for each cylinder
• CENTINEL
®
Advanced Engine Oil Management
System
• ELIMINATOR
®
filtration system reduces oil and filter
changes by one third
6,000 Horsepower Continuous Retarding
Capability
The 6,000 HP retarding system provides state of the art
braking capacity for navigating today’s mining applications
which contain steep continuous descents and sharp
switchbacks.
Continuous retarding capacity enhances the productivity
and confidence of the vehicle operator, while eliminating
the need for excessive mechanical braking effort.
