Pramac GDW560V/FS3A | 448.4kW Diesel Generator | Three-Phase | Volvo Engine
The Pramac GDW560V/FS3A is a professional industrial diesel generating set engineered for applications requiring dependable high-capacity three-phase power.
At the heart of the generator is the Volvo TAD1651GE, a 16.1-litre six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine operating at 1500rpm. The engine features electronic speed governing, water cooling and a 24V electric starting system.
The generator delivers 560.5kVA / 448.4kW Emergency Standby Power and 509.5kVA / 407.6kW Prime Power, making it suitable for emergency backup installations as well as extended operation under variable electrical loads.
An optional Data Centre Power configuration is also available, providing 509.5kVA / 407.6kW DCP output for suitable data centre applications.
Volvo Industrial Diesel Engine
The Volvo TAD1651GE combines substantial displacement with strong industrial performance and proven durability.
Key engine characteristics include:
- 16,120cm³ / 16.1-litre displacement
- Six cylinders in-line
- Turbocharged aspiration
- Electronic speed governor
- Water-cooled design
- Stage IIIA emissions level
- 24V electric starting system
- 34-litre oil capacity
- 60-litre coolant capacity
- Maximum PRP lube oil consumption of approximately 0.1% of fuel consumption
The engine develops up to 484kWm gross mechanical power in ESP operation and 441kWm in PRP and DCP operation.
Mecc Alte Alternator
Electrical generation is handled by the Mecc Alte ECO40 1L4 C brushless alternator.
The alternator provides a 601kVA standby rating at 27°C and a 550kVA continuous nominal rating at 40°C.
It offers approximately 94.8% efficiency at full load, Class H insulation, IP23 protection and approximately ±0.5% voltage tolerance.
Fuel Consumption & Runtime
Fuel consumption is approximately:
81.22 litres per hour at 75% Prime Power
103.94 litres per hour at 100% Prime Power
A wide range of optional fuel tanks is available with capacities from 500 litres up to 4,500 litres.
Depending on the selected tank, approximate runtime at 75% PRP ranges from 6.16 hours to 55.41 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 power installations, the optional MPP Modular Parallel Panel enables the GDW560V/FS3A to operate in parallel with other generating sets.
Up to 32 generator sets can be configured for parallel operation, making this model suitable for large industrial systems, load sharing and redundancy applications.
Open, Canopy & Extra Silent Versions
The GDW560V/FS3A is available in open-frame, weatherproof canopy and Extra Silent canopy configurations.
The standard canopy uses galvanized sheet-steel construction and acoustic insulation to protect the generator in demanding environments.
The standard canopy provides approximately:
- 105 dB(A) guaranteed sound power
- 85 dB(A) sound pressure at 1 metre
- 75 dB(A) sound pressure at 7 metres
The Extra Silent version reduces this to approximately:
- 102 dB(A) guaranteed sound power
- 82 dB(A) sound pressure at 1 metre
- 72 dB(A) sound pressure at 7 metres
Typical Applications
The Pramac GDW560V/FS3A 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 448.4kW standby output, the GDW560V/FS3A provides a dependable high-capacity solution for demanding three-phase power requirements.
