Overview

The SG 40 kW silent diesel generator pairs a Weichai WP2.3D48E200 4-cylinder water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine (2.3 L, 44 / 48.4 kW) with a brushless, self-excited alternator with AVR and class H insulation. It is rated 40 kW / 50 kVA, three-phase four-wire, 50 Hz, power factor 0.8 and rated current 72 A.

A SmartGen 6120 controller with auto mains failure (AMF) function monitors mains and generator values, signals a changeover switch panel and shuts the set down on faults; the engine starts electrically at 12 V DC. The set sits in an enclosed canopy on a steel base frame with anti-vibration pads and an integral 70 L fuel tank, and measures 2150 × 900 × 1200 mm with a dry weight of 850 kg. The photographs show the yellow canopy used across the 40 kW range; canopy colour is confirmed in the order.

What is the rated output of the SG 40 kW silent diesel generator?

The set is rated 40 kW / 50 kVA, three-phase four-wire, 50 Hz, at power factor 0.8 with a rated current of 72 A. Confirm the voltage and frequency you need in the inquiry; they are fixed in the quotation.

Which engine does it use?

A Weichai WP2.3D48E200 4-cylinder water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine: 2.3 L, bore × stroke 90 × 100 mm, engine power 44 / 48.4 kW, 12 V DC electric start. Fuel consumption is below 200 g/kWh at 100% load and below 206 g/kWh at 50% load.

How large and heavy is the set, and how big is the fuel tank?

The canopy set measures 2150 × 900 × 1200 mm and weighs 850 kg dry. The steel base frame carries an integral 70 L fuel tank with a level sensor connected to the controller.

Which controller and protections are included?

A SmartGen 6120 controller with auto mains failure (AMF) function: it monitors the mains, starts the set automatically, signals a changeover switch panel and records events. It shuts the set down for low oil pressure, high engine temperature, over/under speed, over/under voltage, over current, over/under frequency, fail to start and emergency stop.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the destination country, voltage and frequency, the connected load with its starting demand, standby or continuous duty, site altitude and temperature, whether you need an automatic transfer switch, the canopy colour and the quantity.
