Pramac GDW420V/FS2 | 335.4kW Diesel Generator | Three-Phase | Volvo Engine
The Pramac GDW420V/FS2 is a professional industrial diesel generating set engineered for applications where reliable high-capacity three-phase power is essential.
At the heart of the generator is the Volvo TAD1343GE, a 12.8-litre six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine operating at a low 1500rpm. The engine features electronic speed governing, water cooling and a 24V electric starting system.
The generator provides 419.2kVA / 335.4kW Emergency Standby Power and 382.7kVA / 306.2kW Prime Power, making it suitable for both emergency backup installations and extended operation under variable electrical loads.
An optional Data Centre Power configuration is also available, providing 382.7kVA / 306.2kW DCP output for suitable data centre applications.
Volvo Industrial Diesel Engine
The Volvo TAD1343GE combines strong power output with proven industrial durability and dependable operating performance.
Key engine characteristics include:
- 12,780cm³ / 12.8-litre displacement
- Six cylinders in-line
- Turbocharged aspiration
- Electronic speed governor
- Water-cooled design
- Stage II emissions level
- 24V electric starting system
- 36-litre oil capacity
- 44-litre coolant capacity
The engine develops up to 366kWm gross mechanical power in ESP operation and 335kWm in PRP and DCP operation.
Mecc Alte Alternator
Electrical generation is handled by the Mecc Alte ECO40 1S4 C brushless alternator.
The alternator provides a 440kVA standby rating at 27°C and a 400kVA continuous nominal rating at 40°C.
It offers approximately 94.2% efficiency at full load, Class H insulation, IP23 protection and approximately ±0.5% voltage tolerance.
Fuel Consumption & Runtime
Fuel consumption is approximately:
58.19 litres per hour at 75% Prime Power
76.58 litres per hour at 100% Prime Power
A wide range of optional fuel tanks is available with capacities from 500 litres up to 4,000 litres.
Depending on the selected tank, approximate runtime at 75% PRP ranges from 8.59 hours to 68.74 hours.
Automatic Mains Failure Control
The optional ACP Automatic Control Panel provides Auto Mains Failure functionality for standby installations.
The system offers full generator monitoring and protection, detailed event and performance logging, remote control compatibility and optional I/O expansion.
Parallel Generator Operation
For larger installations, the optional MPP Modular Parallel Panel enables the GDW420V/FS2 to operate in parallel with other generating sets.
Up to 32 generator sets can be configured for parallel operation, making this model suitable for larger industrial systems, load sharing and redundancy applications.
Open & Canopy Versions
The GDW420V/FS2 is available in both open-frame and weatherproof canopy configurations.
The canopy version uses galvanized sheet-steel construction and quality acoustic insulation to protect the generator from demanding environments while reducing operating noise.
The standard canopy provides approximately:
- 97 dB(A) guaranteed sound power
- 78 dB(A) sound pressure at 1 metre
- 68 dB(A) sound pressure at 7 metres
An Extra Silent canopy is also available with a guaranteed sound power level of approximately 94 dB(A).
Typical Applications
The Pramac GDW420V/FS2 is suitable for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, commercial buildings, construction projects, data centres, utilities, infrastructure, agriculture, emergency standby systems and prime power installations.
With its combination of Volvo engine technology, Mecc Alte alternator performance and 335.4kW standby output, the GDW420V/FS2 provides a dependable high-capacity solution for demanding three-phase power requirements.
