Overview

3000 - 3500 kVA Generator Set

The 3516E diesel generator sets have been developed to meet your standby and mission critical applications and match your power standards. Producing reliable power (3000 - 3500 kVA at 50 Hz), each generator set has been designed to meet ISO 8528-5 transient response requirements, accept 100 % rated load in one step and accept >50% block road recovering within G2 limits. The generator is certified Tier 2 Equivalent, US EPA Stationary Emergency / Low NOx (1/2 TA Luft).
