Use the complete generator’s 30 kW prime and 33 kW standby electrical ratings when discussing loads. The 34.5 kW reference in the original mechanical section does not establish a 34.5 kW generator electrical rating. Request separate engine shaft-power and generator electrical-output data with their applicable duty definitions.

ATS, enclosure and equipment options

Include the required options in your enquiry and confirm compatibility and the items included in the quotation:

  • Controls and switching: remote control panel, automatic transfer switch (ATS) and paralleling system are listed as options. Specify standalone, backup or parallel operation and the required functions.
  • Starting and electrical accessories: engine heater, battery charger, air preheater, alternator heater and PMG excitation require confirmation for the supplied assembly.
  • Installation format: rainproof, soundproof or trailer configuration. Provide installation dimensions, the noise limit and measurement distance.
  • Fuel and maintenance: request the daily fuel-tank capacity and spare-parts package for your operating schedule.

The existing description includes a belt-driven radiator fan with safety guard, vibration isolation, dry-type air filter, fuel filter and oil filter. Confirm the final bill of materials, installation drawing and service-access requirements.

Ricardo 30 kW diesel generator FAQ

What are the prime and standby electrical ratings?

The listing gives 30 kW / 37.5 kVA prime and 33 kW / 41.25 kVA standby at 50 Hz and a power factor of 0.8. The mechanical section also mentions 34.5 kW, whose rating basis requires confirmation. It should not replace the listed 33 kW electrical standby value. Confirm the approved duty and load profile; standby output should not be assumed suitable for continuous operation.

Which voltage and frequency can I order?

The published voltage options are 440 V, 415 V, 400 V or 380 V, three-phase, 50 Hz, with the engine listed at 1500 rpm. For another voltage or a 60 Hz requirement, request a separately approved engine-alternator configuration and corresponding ratings rather than reusing the 50 Hz data.

How much diesel does the generator consume per hour?

The published reference is 238 g/kW·h at the stated 100% prime power load, a specific fuel-consumption figure rather than a litres-per-hour value. Ask for the measurement basis and complete generator-set L/h data at your intended loads, with fuel specification and test conditions, before estimating fuel cost or tank capacity.

How do I confirm current and power quality for my equipment?

The listed maximum current of 56.98 A is not a fixed value for every voltage. Request the nameplate current for the ordered configuration and voltage/frequency performance data with load steps and test conditions. Include motors, starting sequence and sensitive equipment in the load list so the proposed alternator, governor and controller can be assessed together.

Are ATS, IP23 and a soundproof enclosure included?

Confirm the supplied alternator’s protection rating and complete scope of supply. ATS, paralleling and enclosure formats are listed as options. For a soundproof unit, request noise data stating the enclosure type, operating load and measurement distance.

What warranty and documentation are listed?

The existing listing states 12 months from the date of sale or 1000 running hours, whichever comes first. Confirm these terms in the quotation, including coverage, exclusions and service arrangements. Request manuals, a factory test report and model-specific conformity or emissions documents needed for your destination.

Information for generator selection

For site power, machinery or backup-power enquiries, provide the actual loads and operating conditions so the proposed 30 kW generator can be checked for your project:

  1. Application, destination, quantity and desired delivery date.
  2. Required kW and kVA, voltage, phases, frequency, load list and largest motor starting load.
  3. Prime or standby duty, operating hours, load steps and permitted voltage or frequency variation.
  4. Site altitude, ambient temperature, cooling and ventilation, exhaust routing, installation space and noise requirements.
  5. ATS, remote controls, paralleling, enclosure or trailer, fuel tank, spare parts and project-documentation requirements.

The Cummins generator-set selection guide provides general background on ratings, load assessment and site conditions. Confirm this Ricardo assembly’s specification using its own approved data sheet.
