Import an t reasons for selection of these generator sets have b ee n:
light weight, co mpact size, smooth and quiet operation, superior
design and equi
pm en t, quick and unfailing starts, and excellent
performance records.
Today's sophisticat
ed electrical equipment requires closely regu-
lated frequency and voltage to operate correctly and for protec-
tion as:ainst sudden surges. WPDS static-excited generator se ts
are unique
in this respect. Voltage is regu lated electronically and
restored to rated value almost instantly. Voltage fluctuations w
it h
load changes are insignificant compared to those of inherently
regulated machines. T
he frequency is regulated by a precise
mechanical governor
so that over the full range of loads, fre-
quency is maintained at ::!:: 1 %. When you use sophisticated elec-
tronic equipment, you need this dependably constant source of
electricity power.

Close voltage regulation by static-excited
generators protects delicate electronic
eQuipment and gives better service.
Test results made
on a fast chart show
the remarkable voltage regulation under
severe instantaneous load changes of up
to 150% of normal maximum load. This is
an actual tape from the test of a Wester-
beke Model WPDS 30 KW marine diesel
generator. Horizontal lines are spaced at
sill seconds. Vertical lines are spaced at
two volts.

Th e Weste r beke DYNA - MONITOR is a heavy duty de-
mand contr ol wi th features which ma ke it unique
among con troller s. Its contactor, the load carrying co m-
ponen t, is ex tra large for long life. Ci rcuitry is basically
a simple t wo-wi re co ntr ol sys tem ope rating on full
battery voltage. Th e react or component has been ca r e-
fully designed to allow a high differential in wattage
between starting
and ru nning relays. Both starting and
runn ing re lays are single function units, hermetically
se al ed against dirt or m ois ture.
T
his co mb ination of parts fo rm s a demand swi tch
which,
when u sed with Westerbeke gen erat ors , will
start th e ge nerator when a load is applied, st op the
ge nerator when a loa d is rem oved, and pr event annoy-
ing false start s.
DYNA - MONITOR goes to wo rk instantly, automatically,
if a light is turned on, or if a refr ige rat or calls for elec-
tricit y, or when you plug in th e coffee maker for that
first cup of coffee. It
stops t he se t automatically as soon
as the cu rrent is no longe r req ui r ed.
An ot he r feature for th ose who prefer times of absolute
si lence is the abi li ty to cut out the automatic featu re

The Westerbeke diesel generator set
was first introduced in 1960 as
a 10 KW model, WPD-I0, and rapidly established a world-wide repu-
tation for design excellence and reliable operation_ Since its intro-
duction, improvements have been made upon the original model,
expanding the line from 10 KW to 30 KW and culminating in the
static-excited
WPDS series_ Since their introduction, Westerbeke
diesel generators have been recognized as superior units for diesel
powered yachts_Many of the finest modern yachts have their electri-
cal requirements satisfied by Westerbeke generators_ In addition to
shipboard installations, Westerbeke generators have been used in
aids to navigation and in many shoreside locations where depend-
ability and fuel economy count These shoreside units are radiator
cooled and are made to special order.
