Spare parts 6 kVA generator
Unique Genverter Technology
Our 6 kVA generator, Genverter, embodies a unique fusion of a diesel engine, integrated alternator, and inverter technology. This innovative design allows our 6 kVA generator to deliver exceptional power output quality while also possessing impressive surge power capability. By leveraging the PMG within a specific range of the diesel engine’s rotating speed, our generator ensures the provision of reliable power for a diverse range of electrical equipment, including tools, compressors, washing machines, air conditioners, electric cooking devices, and various other AC equipment.
Ready to install
Our 6 kVA generator includes a comprehensive set of fittings essential for seamless connectivity. These fittings encompass everything from connecting the generator to the fuel tank, attaching hoses to link the engine with the cooling system, establishing connections between the starter engine and the starter battery through cables, to wiring the 6 kVA generator with the onboard power system using appropriate wires.
Why inverter technology
To enhance efficiency and performance, electronic control is frequently employed for equipment like air conditioners and electric motors. However, traditional generators may struggle to operate these appliances seamlessly. That’s where our 6 kVA generator stands out. Designed with a PMG module (Power Module Genverter©), this model guarantees precise voltage and frequency regulation, staying perfectly within the optimal rotating speed range. This ensures uninterrupted operation of all connected devices. Additionally, the PMG generates surge power for our 6 kVA generator, enabling it to handle increased inductive loads with ease.
Stage V Certified, low emission indirect water-cooled engine
Exclusively employing top-notch 2-cylinder engines, our 6 kVA generator exemplifies durability, reliability, and quiet operation. These engines adhere to stringent standards such as EPA/Tier 4 (U.S. standards) and Stage V (European standards). To ensure optimal performance, the engine and PM alternator back-end are seamlessly integrated into a single cooling circuit, maintaining a consistent temperature through the utilization of a heat exchanger. This innovative cooling system guarantees efficient operation and longevity for our 6 kVA generator.

Quiet & vibration free
Vibration can be just as bothersome as excessive noise from a diesel engine. However, our 6 kVA generator tackles both issues with a specially designed construction that prioritizes quietness and minimizes vibrations. This is achieved through a combination of customized shock mounts and a sound enclosure, resulting in an ultra-quiet operation with virtually no vibration. Moreover, for ease of maintenance, all the serviceable parts are conveniently positioned on one side of the Genverter. By effectively mounting the engine within the enclosure, we have achieved an impressive audible noise level of less than 60 dBA, ensuring a peaceful environment while the generator operates.
