{"product_id":"18kva-able-diesel-generator-pl18x1","title":"18kVA ABLE Diesel Generator PL18X1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PL18X1 is an 18kVA single phase diesel generator rated 18kVA (18kW) prime (PRP) and 20kVA (20kW) standby (ESP) at 240V, 50Hz and a power factor of 1.0. Power comes from a FAWDE 4DW91-29D, a four cylinder, water-cooled diesel turning at 1500 rpm, which drives a four-pole brushless synchronous alternator with AVR. The set starts electrically at 12 volts, the battery is included, and protection comes from an IP67-enclosed RCD and over current protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe engine is a naturally aspirated 2.54 litre four-cylinder, so there is no turbocharger in the build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe alternator is brushless, with no brushes to wear, and its AVR holds voltage within ±0.5% as the load changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ComAp AMF controller accepts a two-wire remote start, so a switch or external controller can start the set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe canopy is sound deadened and finished in a weather-resistant powder coat, with stainless steel fittings and a lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 15A outlets are rated IP66 (dust tight and protected against powerful water jets), and hardwire terminals are fitted for a fixed connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMine site ready bunding is specified for sites that need fuel spills contained.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe set is specified for ambient temperatures from -25°C to 45°C (a coolant heater is needed below 5°C), humidity under 80% and altitude under 1000 m.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank holds 125 litres and noise is 65 dB(A) at 7 m. The design standards are CE, ISO 8528-5:2005, AS 3000-2018 and AS 3010-2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it will run\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 240V the PL18X1 has a rated current of about 75A. Typically that suits a workshop with several machines, a farm with pumps and outbuildings, a single phase commercial premises, or the essential circuits of a home. Starting current is the catch: a pump, compressor or air conditioner can draw several times its running current as it starts, so size around the largest motor. Check each appliance's compliance plate for its running and starting power, then add the figures up. Prime (PRP) allows unlimited hours on a variable load, with an average load factor below 70% per 24 hours and 10% overload for 1 hour in every 12. Standby (ESP) is limited to 500 hours a year, with an average load factor below 80% per 24 hours and no overload. Home backup needs an inlet and changeover switch fitted by a licensed electrician. If you send us your load list, we will help you size the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL18X1 suits farms, workshops, single phase commercial premises, small industrial sites and home backup. It can cover a mains outage as standby power, or run as prime power on a variable load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-position: outside; padding-left: 1.5em; margin-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18kVA (18kW) prime, 20kVA (20kW) standby @ 1.0PF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 Amps (prime)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine:\u003c\/strong\u003e FAWDE 4DW91-29D four-cylinder diesel, 1500rpm, water cooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single phase 4-pole brushless synchronous alternator with AVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eController:\u003c\/strong\u003e ComAp AMF20, two-wire remote start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volt electric, battery included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase \/ voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single phase, 240V, 50Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel use:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 L\/hr at prime load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 hrs continuous at prime load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 dB(A) @ 7m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x 15 Amp IP66 outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardwire terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCD to Australian Standards (IP67 enclosed), over current protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanopy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lockable, sound deadened, weather-resistant powder coat, stainless steel fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMine spec:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mine site ready bunding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 167 x 76 x 117 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 866 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 months or 1,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrime (PRP) limits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variable load, unlimited hours, average load factor below 70% per 24 hours, 10% overload for 1 hour in every 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandby (ESP) limits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 hours a year, up to 300 hours at a time, average load factor below 80% per 24 hours, no overload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 cylinder, 90 x 100 mm bore and stroke, 2.54 L, compression ratio 17, naturally aspirated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.0 kWm prime, 23.0 kWm standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine capacities:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil 8.0 L, coolant 8.0 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternator model:\u003c\/strong\u003e PL1G-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±0.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection class:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambient -25 to 45°C (coolant heater needed below 5°C), humidity below 80%, altitude below 1000 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating test conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25°C ambient, 100 m altitude, 30% relative humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE, ISO 8528-5:2005, AS 3000-2018, AS 3010-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the ABLE Power range at Gen4Sale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67546747928767,"sku":"PL18X1","price":9178.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7409\/5295\/files\/ABLE-PL18X1.jpg?v=1791155372","url":"https:\/\/gen4sale.com.au\/products\/18kva-able-diesel-generator-pl18x1","provider":"Gen4Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
