Overview
550 kVA Mobile Diesel Generator Set
The XQP550 generator set is EU Stage V emission standard capable. A unique feature is the introduction of clutch fan drive technology where the fan no longer needs to run continually at full speed and power. This saves additional fuel, while lowering noise output; an ideal feature when operating at lower loads, in cooler temperatures and, most importantly, in evenings when noise levels are most noticeable.
Benefits
Selectable 50/60Hz Operation
Easy frequency switch via terminal link eliminate geographical limitations allowing generator set to be used wherever it is needed
Flexible 3-way fuel valve
Extended run time provided by changeover from base tank to external bulk tank
Standard 500 Hour oil change intervals
Maximizes run time before routine service is required
