75kVA ABLE Diesel Generator PL75X3

The PL75X3 is a 75kVA three phase diesel generator rated 75kVA (60kW) prime (PRP) and 82kVA (66kW) standby (ESP) at 415V, 50Hz and a power factor of 0.8. It is powered by a Xinchai AK41LD31, a four cylinder, water-cooled diesel of 4.1 litres running at 1500 rpm, and drives a four-pole brushless synchronous alternator with AVR. Starting is electric with the batteries included, and protection is an IP67-enclosed RCD plus over current protection.

Key features

• The engine has direct injection and a mechanical governor, so engine speed is regulated mechanically rather than electronically.
• The alternator is wound in 100% copper, with class H insulation, IP23 protection and voltage held within ±0.5%, so the output stays steady as loads change.
• The ComAp AMF controller has a two-wire remote start input, so a switch or external controller can start the set.
• The lockable canopy is sound deadened, with a weather-resistant powder coat and stainless steel fittings.
• Two 32A and one 20A three phase outlets and one 15A single phase outlet are rated IP66 (dust tight and protected against powerful water jets), and hardwire terminals are fitted for a fixed connection.
• Mine site ready bunding is specified, so fuel spills are contained on sites that need it.

The tank holds 420 litres and noise is 67 dB(A) at 7 m. The engine is rated 74.0 kW prime and 81.0 kW standby, and a coolant heater is needed when the temperature is below 5°C.

What it will run

At 60kW prime the PL75X3 has a rated current of about 105A per phase, and at a power factor of 0.8 the loads should be added up in kW as well as kVA. Frame the choice around the combined loads of the site rather than single appliances. Typically it suits the refrigeration, motors, pumps and lighting of a factory, a warehouse or a cold chain facility. Stagger the starts: the largest motor first, then the rest, because motors draw several times their running current as they start. Keep the three phases balanced. Check the compliance plates for each machine's running and starting power. An electrician or engineer should review the site load before the set is specified, and a licensed electrician should make the switchboard connection. Send us your load list and we will help you check the set against your site.

The PL75X3 suits factories, warehouses, cold chain facilities and mine camps, either standing by for a mains outage or supplying a site with a variable load as prime power.
