Drivetrain for generator set, generator set, and method of producing drivetrain for generator set

A generator set comprising:

• a generator;
• a drivetrain coupled to the engine, the drivetrain comprising:
• a gearbox structured to transfer power from the engine to the generator, the gearbox comprising:
• an input shaft coupled to an input gear and configured to receive an input power;
• an output shaft coupled to an output gear and configured to transfer an output power;
• a first layshaft and a second layshaft, each of the first layshaft and the second layshaft coupled to a pair of splitter gears, and each of the first layshaft and the second layshaft arranged parallel to both of the input shaft and the output shaft;
• and
• wherein the input power is split between the first layshaft and the second layshaft.

A method of producing a generator set, the method comprising:

• coupling an input gear to an input shaft;
• coupling an output gear to an output shaft;
• coupling a first pair of splitter gears to a first layshaft;
• coupling a second pair of splitter gears to a second layshaft;
• arranging the first layshaft relative to the input shaft such that a first of the first pair of splitter gears meshes with the input gear and a second of the first pair of splitter gears meshes with the output shaft;
• arranging the second layshaft relative to the input shaft such that a first of the second pair of splitter gears meshes with the input gear and a second of the second pair of splitter gears meshes with the output gear;
• and
• arranging the input shaft to be coaxial with the output shaft.
