500kW Diesel Generator Set

A 500kW diesel generator is priced by engine platform, configuration and alternator choice. At this rating H&C builds the Cummins R-CC625D5/S (KTAA19-G6A engine), rated 500 kW / 625 kVA prime and 550 kW / 687.5 kVA standby at 50Hz (1500 rpm). The price moves with the enclosure (open skid, soundproof canopy or containerized), the alternator (Stamford S5L1D-F4 or Leroy-Somer TAL-A473-F for the R-CC625D5/S), the controller and options such as ATS, and with the destination country and freight terms. Send your voltage, frequency and destination country and we will confirm the R-CC625D5/S price within 24 hours.

At 75% load a 500kW diesel generator consumes 96.4 L/h; at 100% load it rises to 128.6 L/h. The KTAA19-G6A engine in the R-CC625D5/S works out at 216 g/kW·h per ISO 3046-1. Actual consumption on the R-CC625D5/S varies about ±5% with ambient conditions, load profile and fuel quality. At a diesel price of $1.0/L, running at 75% load costs roughly $96 per hour.

A 500kW set is used in heavy commercial and industrial facilities: hospitals, manufacturing plants, large commercial buildings, cold storage and mid-size data centers. Standby is 550 kW / 687.5 kVA, which leaves starting margin for motor loads on top of the base load. Tell us your connected load and the largest motor you need to start and we will confirm whether 500kW or the next rating up fits better.

H&C supplies the 500kW rating on one engine platform: Cummins (R-CC625D5/S with the KTAA19-G6A engine, 216 g/kW·h). Units ship as open skid, weatherproof silent canopy or 20ft/40ft container; the silent canopy for the R-CC625D5/S holds ≤75 dB(A) at 7m. All R-CC625D5/S units are built to 50Hz (1500 rpm) as standard, with custom controls and ATS available on request.
