Pramac GDW815S/FNE | 649.5kW Diesel Generator | Three-Phase | Scania Engine

The Pramac GDW815S/FNE is a high-capacity industrial diesel generating set engineered for applications requiring dependable three-phase power.

At the heart of the generator is the Scania DC16 078A (2-44), a 16.4-litre V8 turbocharged diesel engine operating at 1500rpm. The engine features electronic speed governing, water cooling and a 24V electric starting system.

The generator delivers 811.9kVA / 649.5kW Emergency Standby Power and 750kVA / 600kW 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 750kVA / 600kW DCP output for suitable data centre and mission-critical power applications.

Scania Industrial Diesel Engine

The Scania DC16 078A (2-44) combines substantial displacement, V8 configuration and high mechanical output for demanding industrial environments.

Key engine characteristics include:

• 16,400cm³ / 16.4-litre displacement
• Eight-cylinder V configuration
• Turbocharged aspiration
• Electronic speed governor
• Water-cooled design
• 24V electric starting system
• 48-litre oil capacity
• 92-litre coolant capacity
• Maximum PRP lube oil consumption of approximately 0.2% of fuel consumption

The engine develops up to 706kWm gross mechanical power in ESP operation and 664kWm in PRP and DCP operation.

Mecc Alte Alternator

Electrical generation is handled by the Mecc Alte ECO40 VL4 C brushless alternator.

The alternator provides an 825kVA standby rating at 27°C and a 750kVA continuous nominal rating at 40°C.

It offers approximately 95.1% efficiency at full load, Class H insulation, IP23 protection and approximately ±0.5% voltage tolerance.

Fuel Consumption & Runtime

Fuel consumption is approximately:

112.01 litres per hour at 75% Prime Power

151.80 litres per hour at 100% Prime Power

A range of optional fuel tanks is available from 500 litres up to 4,500 litres.

Approximate runtime at 75% PRP ranges from 4.46 hours with the 500-litre tank up to 40.17 hours with the 4,500-litre tank.

Automatic Mains Failure Control

The optional ACP Automatic Control Panel provides Auto Mains Failure functionality for standby power installations.

The system includes full generator monitoring and protection, detailed event and performance logging, remote-control capability and optional I/O expansion modules.

Parallel Generator Operation

For larger installations, the optional MPP Modular Parallel Panel enables the GDW815S/FNE 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 installations, load sharing, redundancy and critical infrastructure applications.

Open & Canopy Versions

The GDW815S/FNE is available in open-frame and weatherproof canopy configurations.

The canopy version uses galvanized sheet-metal construction, high-quality soundproofing material and a residential silencer to provide environmental protection while reducing operating noise.

Standard canopy noise levels are approximately:

• 105 dB(A) guaranteed sound power
• 85 dB(A) sound pressure at 1 metre
• 75 dB(A) sound pressure at 7 metres

An Extra Silent enclosure option is also available for applications where further acoustic reduction is required.

Typical Applications

The Pramac GDW815S/FNE is suitable for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, large commercial buildings, construction and infrastructure projects, data centres, utilities, emergency standby systems and prime power installations.

With its combination of Scania V8 engine technology, Mecc Alte alternator performance and 649.5kW standby output, the GDW815S/FNE provides a powerful and dependable solution for demanding high-capacity three-phase power requirements.
