kVA
Atlas Copco has expanded its QES portable generator range up to 500 kVA with the
addition of four models that offer a predictable source of electrical power for the
world’s most demanding worksites. The latest models in the range are the QES 250,
QES 325, QES 400 and QES 500, which are all Stage 3A emission compliant and
available in 50 Hz or 60 Hz versions.
QES generators come equipped with user-friendly Qc series controllers that provide power
within two clicks and take just six seconds to be fully operational. With the models from
250 kVA upwards, it is possible to connect and deploy multiple generators in a modular
power plant format if paralleling, load sharing or power export is required. To realise this,
users can choose between either a Qc 3012™ multiple gensets synchronisation controller
or Qc 3111™ Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) synchronisation controller.
The new 250-500 kVA models are fitted with high quality Volvo engines. Like other
models in the range, the latest QES generators feature waterproof, corrosion-treated
canopies that repel all liquids, including heavy rainfall. They are able to perform
continuously for up to 500 hours in extreme high (+50°C maximum) and low (-25°C
minimum) temperatures.
“Our QES generators provide a constant source of power in even the harshest weather
conditions,” said Sergio Salvador, product marketing manager for rental and construction
generators. “The new additions to the range offer even more flexibility for contractors in
the construction and rental sector, particularly those looking for generators with
exceptional plug-and-play capabilities.”
All QES generators include a fuel-efficient power pack, sound attenuated steel enclosure
and spillage-free frame with integrated forklift slots and lifting beams for ease of
transportation. They also include a lifting frame structure that can withstand up to four
times the weight of the generator, as well as a heavy-duty base frame to cope with regular
mobilisation. In addition, all models in the range require only 1-hour of maintenance
every 500 operating hours and have large doors for easy access during servicing.
Moreover, the QES range includes a standard Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator
(DAVR) and a 300 per cent short-circuit capability, meaning the generators can be used to
start any electrical motor within 20 seconds.
