The generator sets are designed in accordance to ISO8528-5 performance class G3. The sets offers smooth running thanks to engine conception and integral vibration isolation mounts between components and skid. There is low fuel consumption thanks to a high technology common rail injection engine and a smaller footprint thanks to a high power density.

The set offers low temperature starting capability and long maintenance intervals. The genset alternator provides an industry-leading motor starting capability with an excitation system to permit sustained overcurrent > 300% In, during 10 sec.

It is built with a class H insulation and IP23. Cooling is provided by a compact and complete solution using a mechanically driven radiator fan. There is a high temperature and altitude product capacity, running without power derating.

The V550 400V is powered by a TAD1641GE-B1 VOLVO engine with a APM403 Standard Control Panel.

Key features of this genset include: electronic governor, a fully mechanically-welded chassis with antivibration suspension, a main line circuit breaker, a radiator for core temperature of 48/50°C max with mechanical fan and a Protective grille for fan and rotating parts (CE option).

The 9 dB(A) silencer is supplied separately and there is a Charger DC starting battery with electrolyte, 24V charge alternator and starter, and the genset is delivered with oil and coolant -30°C.

The TAD1641GE-engine is a powerful, reliable and economical generating set diesel engine built on the dependable in-line six design.

Designed for easiest, fastest and most economical installation, it is well-balanced to produce smooth and vibration-free operation with low noise level.

To maintain a controlled working temperature in cylinders and combustion chambers, the engine is equipped with piston cooling. The engine is also fitted with replaceable cylinder liners and valve seats/guides to ensure maximum durability and service life of the engine. www.kohlerpower.sg
