Criterias of choice
Of course, the power of the diesel engine driving the generator unit is of great importance, because it depends on it whether it will be possible to provide the necessary electricity generation or not. FPT-Iveco's maintenance is up to par, and this consideration can be neglected. But what cannot be ignored is the execution of the generator. Outdoor devices must be placed inside a special casing.
Further, it is important to take into account the characteristics of energy consumers. The power supply of single-phase devices is more correct and logical to conduct using single-phase generators
But such a need arises mainly at industrial facilities. The main part of household electrical equipment has a three-phase design, and for the same cottage settlements, a generator with 3 phases would be the best choice.
The difference can also be due to:
-
lighting load (typical for settlements);
-
power active load (industrial electric furnaces);
-
power inductive load (powerful electric motors);
-
thyristor type of load (found mainly at communication centers and at oil production facilities).

Features and purpose
When getting acquainted with the FPT-Iveco diesel generators, you should pay attention immediately to the increased power engine. Italian engineers have tried to ensure the maximum service life of their developments
Moreover, it is typical not for well-oiled factory conditions, but for real use, when the environment around a diesel engine is far from ideal.
FPT company carries out its own scientific and technical developments, which can significantly improve the basic properties of products.
The manufacturer claims that all products are shipped directly from Europe. At the same time, verified delivery times and optimal prices are also guaranteed. Diesel generators FPT-Iveco are declared as excellent assistants in uninterrupted power supply of the most critical facilities. They use less fuel than competitors of comparable power
And, importantly, the total price of Italian diesel generators is comparable to the price offered by the main Russian suppliers.
Model overview
The Italian company supplies some of its generators in soundproof enclosures. All of these housings reliably protect electrical components from moisture ingress. A good example of this is the GS F3230. These are the main parameters of this diesel generator:
-
fuel tank with a capacity of 120 liters;
-
fuel consumption at full load - 8.3 liters;
-
fuel consumption at half load - 4.3 liters;
-
work interval between services - 600 hours;
-
3 working phases and additional neutral;
-
power in the main (standby) mode - 30 (33) kW.
The NEF200 generator is also noteworthy. It is stated that at a distance of 7 m from it, the sound volume does not exceed 75 dB. Fuel consumption at maximum and half load is 44 and 25.6 liters per hour, respectively. The system power in the main mode is 160 kW. In the standby version, it can reach 176 kW.
If we consider the options of the GE series (on the frame, in the open version), then it is worth looking at the NEF75. The main and peak power here are equal to 60 and 66 kW, respectively. The 4-stroke diesel engine is powered by a 180 liter fuel tank and a cooling circuit that holds 18.5 liters of refrigerant. Electrical protection level - IP23. The generator supplies a current of 400 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
