The SPP500BSC is a robust diesel generator engineered for industrial standby and continuous duty. It combines a Baudouin 6M16G500/5 engine with a Stamford S4L1-D1 alternator to produce 455 kVA prime and 500 kVA standby output at 50 Hz.
Housed in a weatherproof, soundproof canopy, the generator produces 77.5 dB(A) at 7 metres. Its integrated 450-litre base fuel tank delivers up to 8 hours of runtime at full load. The turbocharged, water-cooled engine with electronic governor ensures efficient fuel use and reliable performance under varied operating conditions.
The SPP500BSC is equipped with a Deep Sea controller offering auto mains failure (AMF), remote operation, and comprehensive engine protections. Forklift slots, lifting hooks, and secure service doors ensure easy handling, installation, and maintenance.
