Flood protection in Golling<br />

New era for alternators<br />

After heavy floods in the years 2002 and 2005 the county of<br />

Salzburg enforced wide-ranged flood protection projects. The<br />

showpiece project is the protection concept for the village<br />

Golling, which has been finished this year after a construction<br />

time of five years.<br />

During flood and in order to prevent a power cut, three stateof-the-art<br />

emergency power supply aggregates with 200, 300<br />

und 400kVA were integrated by Hitzinger.<br />

Hitzinger has received an order for an alternator at the end of the third quarter, which marks<br />

the start for a new era – here are a few key data to portray the specialty of this alternator: 333<br />

rpm, 1,100 kVA, vertical design, with a hollow shaft of 105 mm for the impeller adjustment. At<br />

the end of the shaft a kaplan turbine with 2,700 kg is clamped, which creates a force of 17 tons<br />

which is collected by the alternator. Special focus is also set on sound emissions, in order not to<br />

bother the residents. The shipment of the 16 ton colossus shall be effected by end of next year.<br />
