The GKD5500 is a single phase Genelite Defence diesel generator set rated at 5.5kVA / 3.5kW and powered by a Kubota Z482 engine.
Key features
- It is custom-built for military and defence applications, so it is a purpose-designed option for defence users.
- A low noise signature suits applications where noise needs to be kept down.
- Built-in diagnostics and prognostics give the operator information on the condition of the set to support maintenance.
- Single phase output covers general power circuits for lighting, tools and small equipment.
- Fuel consumption is 2.4 litres an hour at 100% load and 1.9 litres an hour at 75% load, so running costs are easy to estimate.
At those rates, every 100 litres of fuel runs the set for about 42 hours at full load or about 53 hours at 75% load.
What it will run
At 3.5kW, which is about 15A at 240V, the GKD5500 typically suits a small group of single phase loads: lighting, a fridge, small power tools and battery chargers. Motors and compressors can draw several times their running current at start, so allow headroom for the largest one. Check the compliance plate on each appliance for its running and starting load, then add them up. Where the set feeds fixed wiring, connection is through a changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help with sizing.
The GKD5500 suits defence and military power supply, and any site that needs a modest single phase supply from a diesel set.
