Pramac GDW405V/FS3A | 325kW Diesel Generator | Three-Phase | Volvo Engine

The Pramac GDW405V/FS3A 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 TAD1352GE, 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 406.2kVA / 325kW Emergency Standby Power and 369.7kVA / 295.8kW 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 369.7kVA / 295.8kW DCP output for suitable data centre applications.

Volvo Industrial Diesel Engine

The Volvo TAD1352GE combines strong power output with proven industrial reliability and efficient operation.

Key engine characteristics include:

• 12,780cm³ / 12.8-litre displacement
• Six cylinders in-line
• Turbocharged aspiration
• Electronic speed governor
• Water-cooled design
• Stage IIIA emissions level
• 24V electric starting system
• 36-litre oil capacity
• 24-litre coolant capacity
• Maximum PRP lube oil consumption of approximately 0.1% of fuel consumption

The engine develops up to 356kWm gross mechanical power in ESP operation and 325kWm 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 a tight voltage tolerance of approximately ±0.5%.

Fuel Consumption & Runtime

Fuel consumption is approximately:

59.75 litres per hour at 75% Prime Power

75.84 litres per hour at 100% Prime Power

A wide range of fuel tank configurations is available with capacities from 500 litres up to 4,000 litres.

Depending on the selected tank, approximate runtime at 75% PRP ranges from 8.37 hours to 66.95 hours.

Automatic Mains Failure Control

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

The control 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 systems, the optional MPP Modular Parallel Panel enables the GDW405V/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 Versions

The GDW405V/FS3A 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 in 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 GDW405V/FS3A is suitable for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, commercial buildings, construction projects, data centres, infrastructure, utilities, agriculture, emergency standby systems and prime power installations.

With its combination of Volvo engine technology, Mecc Alte alternator performance and 325kW standby output, the GDW405V/FS3A provides a dependable high-capacity solution for demanding three-phase power requirements.
