General Specifications

Three Phase Industrial Backup Power

The Baudouin 500kVA Three Phase Diesel Generator delivers high volume standby power for manufacturing facilities, commercial blocks and large scale industrial plants. It integrates directly with main distribution boards to prevent operational downtime during prolonged grid outages.

Efficient System Operations

This unit uses an inline six cylinder engine configuration engineered for stable power distribution under high load conditions. The fuel system and electronic governor optimise consumption rates to manage operating costs during emergency operations.
