Synopsis
Competitive variable speed diesel RV generators produce annoying noise levels that grow louder as engine speed increases. Not this diesel unit. Innovative design and prototype testing are key components of generac's success. But it doesn't stop there. Total commitment to component testing, reliability testing, environmental testing, destruction and life testing, plus testing to applicable csa, RVia, and other standards, allows you to choose generac power systems with the confidence that these systems will provide superior performance. Low rpm speed control: speed control allows the robust 1131cc engine to operate at a constant speed of 1950 rpm, eliminating annoying speed changes. Solid-state, frequency compensated voltage regulation: this state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on all generac models. It provides optimized fast response to changing load conditions and maximum motor starting capability by electronically torque-matching the surge loads to the engine. Superior fuel economy: while under typical loads, the constant rpm allows for a much more fuel efficient system when compared to variable speed alternatives. Industry standard footprint and bolt pattern: standardized air inlet and exhaust outlets, bolt patterns and wire locations allow for easy installation in any application with little or no need to modify existing enclosure accommodations.
