Diesel generator sets
3516E (50 Hz)
The 3516E diesel generator sets have been developed to meet your standby and mission critical applications and match your power standards. Producing reliable power (3000 - 3500 kVA at 50 Hz), each generator set has been designed to meet ISO 8528-5 transient response requirements, accept 100 % rated load in one step and accept >50% block road recovering within G2 limits. The generator is certified Tier 2 Equivalent, US EPA Stationary Emergency / Low NOx (1/2 TA Luft).
