Overview
500 kVA Mobile Diesel Generator Set
This XQP500 generator set is fuel consumption optimized. A unique feature is the introduction of clutch fan drive technology, where the fan no longer needs to runs continuously at full speed and power. This saves additional fuel, while also lowering noise output; an ideal feature when operating at lower loads, in cooler temperatures, or 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
