The benefits of 200kVA generators

Choosing a 200kVA diesel generator gives you access to plenty of power for prime and standby applications, making them a worthy investment. However, with a range of sizes available, it’s challenging to know which aligns with your commercial, on site, industrial or residential needs.

So here’s what sets the 200kVA diesel generator apart from the rest:

Capability

As one of the larger generator sizes available, 200kVA models are reliable in a crisis and can ensure your business remains operational by delivering up to 300 Amps!

In this range, most units are manufactured with either Perkins UK engines, Doosan (South Korea) or Iveco FPT which are all widely supported engine models.

These size diesel generators are typically used to cover standby applications or used in prime to cover large industrial machinery and equipment where power is not always available such as farms or waste recycling facilities.

Affordability

Prices for a quality 200kVA generator that are designed and manufactured in Europe start from around 23k and range up to 30k for the premium brands, and this varies with specifications and features.

200kVA diesel generator running costs are not to painful either as fuel burn will be around 20L per hour @ 50% loading at this size.

Durability

Diesel generators and their components are very reliable and durable, mostly due to their sturdy construction. Along with functions that reduce noise and suit quiet working environments, they’re a suitable long-term solution for your power needs.

Usually spanning around 3000mm – 3500mm in length, most feature fork lift pockets and can be easily moved around, making them suit a variety of applications.

200kVA Diesel Generators (160kW) – common questions

FAQ

What’s the fuel consumption of 200 kVA generators?

These generators are heavy-duty machines capable of delivering prime and standby power.

When it comes to fuel consumption, the average 200 kVA generator will consume around 40 to 50 litres at full load, but it depends on the following factors:

  • Load: Running larger loads results in higher fuel usage.
  • Engine efficiency: Efficiency varies across engine types.
  • Maintenance: Well-maintained generators usually operate more efficiently.
  • Fuel quality: Opting for high-quality fuel will enhance the generator’s performance and efficiency.

What is the maximum load of a 200 kVA generator?

A 200 kVA generator should handle a maximum load of 200kVA, but this depends on the power ratings, including prime power, which measures the generator’s capacity for extended usage.

Standby power is also important, as it measures the generator’s output during power cuts.

While it depends on the generator you invest in, the maximum load usually aligns with the prime power rating.

Where can I use a 200kVA diesel generator?

Investing in a 200kVA generator gives you reliable prime and standby power for a variety of settings. These generators have diverse applications, including:

  • Commercial Buildings: Retail stores, offices and other commercial buildings can enjoy reliable backup power during outages.
  • Industrial Facilities: Opting for a 200kVA diesel generator also means you can support your industrial needs, including powering essential machinery and lighting.
  • Construction Sites: These generators can also power equipment in off-grid locations such as construction sites.
  • Data Centres: Providing backup for servers and critical systems.

Not all generators are equal, so it’s essential to purchase a 200kVA model from a reputable manufacturer. If you’re interested in streamlining your power needs, please contact our generator sales team today for support.
