Ricardo 40 kW diesel generator FAQ

What are the prime and standby electrical ratings?

The listing gives 40 kW / 50 kVA prime and 44 kW / 55 kVA standby at 50 Hz and a power factor of 0.8. The engine section separately mentions 46.2 kW; confirm that engine value’s rating basis. It is not the published generator electrical standby rating. Request the approved duty and load profile before using the standby output for your application.

Which engine is listed and how do I confirm its specification?

The listed engine is Ricardo ZH4100ZD, described as four-cylinder, four-stroke, direct-injection and water-cooled, at 1500 rpm. Request the actual engine nameplate and current data sheet to establish displacement, intake arrangement, governor, installation dimensions and applicable operating limits.

Can I order a different voltage or 60 Hz configuration?

The listed voltage choices are 440 V, 415 V, 400 V or 380 V at 50 Hz. Confirm voltage and phases for the ordered unit. For 60 Hz or another voltage, request a separately approved engine-alternator configuration and corresponding ratings; do not apply the 50 Hz reference values unchanged.

Does 221 g/kW·h tell me the hourly diesel consumption?

No. The published figure is specific fuel consumption at the stated 100% prime power load, rather than a litres-per-hour value. Request the measurement basis and complete generator-set L/h consumption at your intended loads, with fuel specification and test conditions, before estimating operating cost or fuel-tank capacity.

Are IP23, ATS and a soundproof enclosure included?

Confirm the supplied alternator’s protection rating in the agreed specification. ATS and different enclosure formats are listed as options, so confirm the actual scope of supply. For a soundproof unit, request noise data stating load, enclosure type and measurement distance.

What warranty and certification information should I request?

Ask for written warranty terms with a clear start date, time and running-hour limits, coverage and exclusions. Request the manuals, factory test report and model-specific conformity or emissions documents required for your destination, plus the agreed spare-parts and support arrangements.

Load and installation information for selection

For industrial equipment, site power or backup-power enquiries, send the actual loads and installation conditions so the proposed 40 kW generator can be assessed 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, daily operating hours, load steps and permitted voltage or frequency variation.
  4. Site altitude, ambient temperature, cooling and ventilation, intake and exhaust routing, installation space and noise limit.
  5. ATS, remote controls, paralleling, enclosure or trailer, fuel tank and project-documentation requirements.

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