GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Baudouin 400kVA Diesel Generator

High-Capacity Energy Security for Intensive Demands

This 400kVA diesel generator delivers the high volume electrical output required to keep commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, and large properties fully operational. It integrates directly into your main distribution board, preventing costly downtime, data loss, and operational disruptions.

Engineered for Sustained Performance and Fuel Management

At the core of this unit is a heavy duty, inline six-cylinder Baudouin engine designed to handle sudden, large electrical loads smoothly. The integrated 860-litre fuel tank provides up to 13 hours of continuous operation at 75% load capacity, allowing your facility to navigate extended power outages without requiring frequent refueling shifts.

Weatherproof Shielding with Integrated Noise Reduction

The unit is housed within a heavy-gauge, mild steel enclosure built specifically for outdoor installation. The internal acoustic insulation effectively dampens engine operating decibels to comply with standard site noise regulations, while lockable side access doors secure the internal components against unauthorised interference.

400kVA Baudouin Generator Key Features

  • 440kVA Standby Capacity: Provides stable, continuous 3 phase electricity to run heavy machinery, central HVAC units and large computer networks.
  • Acoustic Engineering: High density soundproofing material lines the canopy shell to lower operational noise.
  • 860-Litre Onboard Tank: Large capacity fuel cell delivers up to 13 hours of continuous runtime at 75% load.
  • Lockable Mild-Steel Canopy: The weatherproof exterior protects internal components and mechanical parts from rain, dust and vandalism.
  • Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS): Detects utility failure instantly and automatically shifts the facility's electrical load over to the generator.
  • Automated System Safeguards: Programmed with immediate safety shutdowns for high coolant temperatures, low oil pressure levels and electrical overloads.
  • Digital Diagnostics Interface: The integrated control panel provides technicians with real-time visibility over voltage tracking, fuel consumption and diagnostic alerts.
  • Industrial Manufacturing Standards: Built with ISO 9001 quality standards and backed by a comprehensive 24 month or 1,000-hour warranty.
Engineered for Performance and Easy Maintenance

Premium Build Features

  • Smart Power Management: Equipped with an intuitive controller that automates your backup cycles and lets you monitor engine vitals and performance in real time.
  • Advanced Sound Attenuation: Built with a highly insulated canopy and optimised ventilation slots that keep engine noise to a strict minimum without risking overheating.
  • Extended Runtimes: Features a long-range fuel tank built right into the bottom base frame, allowing the generator to run through prolonged grid failures without requiring immediate refills.
  • Hassle Free Servicing: Designed with quick access maintenance doors, easy to reach service filters and clear connection points so technicians can handle installation and maintenance.
  • Site Ready Security: The heavy duty enclosure features lockable handles to protect internal assets, stainless steel structural mounts and dedicated rigging points for safe transport.
  • Maximum Operational Safety: Features a prominent external emergency stop button to instantly shut down the system if needed, alongside automatic safety protections for high temperatures.
  • Factory Tested and Ready: Every generator arrives 100% inspected, fully tested and complete with a heavy duty battery and charger setup so it is ready for immediate site installation.
