Benefits & Features

Maximised productivity

The 5000 Series delivers maximised productivity through outstanding load acceptance, achieving NFPA110 Type 10 and ISO 8528-5 G2 and G3 performance class and delivers high altitude capability. The engine build and performance have been designed with ultimate productivity and dependability in mind, so customers can be confident that power will be available when required.



Ease of integration and service accessibility

A single point customer electronics connection supports ease of integration and service accessibility is provided from a single side with two year oil and fuel service intervals.

Low daily operating costs

Excellent oil consumption through dedicated piston, ring and liner assembly and low fuel consumption deliver minimised daily operating costs.

Definitions
Emergency standby power (ESP) Limited to 200 hours usage per year with an average load factor of 80 percent of the published ESP rating over each 24 hour period.
Data centre power (DCP) Power available for variable or continuous electrical loads in a data centre application. Up to 100 percent load factor of the published DCP power is permitted for unlimited time. An overload of 10 percent is permitted for one hour in every 12 hours of operation. No overload is permitted. DCP power definition relies on ISO8528-1 2018 standard to be followed by generator set manufacturer, and will support Tier I to Tier IV classifications of data centres as per UPTIME institute guidelines.
