Heavy-Duty Container Construction
The 1600 kW package arrives as one unit with the enclosure, base frame and control panel already assembled, so installation work on site is limited to positioning, cabling and commissioning.
Container type silent generator set is designed to deliver reliable power with low noise, high efficiency, and strong durability. Built with a modular containerized structure, it integrates advanced soundproofing technology, ventilation optimization, and anti-vibration design to ensure stable operation even under harsh working environments. With a power range of1000kw-2500kw, this generator is suitable for continuous and emergency applications, providing dependable performance for industrial, commercial, and large-scale projects.

Rated 1600 kW prime and 1760 kW standby at 2000 kVA, supplied as a 40HQ container package unit for utility-scale and multi-unit project power.
Where it is installed — mine and port power stations, gas engine power plants, district energy and CHP schemes — the 1600 kW set works at base-load duty, often in multi-unit parallel configuration. Distribution is usually through MV switchgear interface for the 1600 kW installations and multi-unit busbars.
Each 1600 kW set is assembled and load-tested in our own works. Outevo has produced diesel and gas sets including this 1600 kW rating generating sets since 2006 from a 20,000 m² manufacturing facility with a fully automatic line, and has delivered more than 2,000 sets to over 100 countries.
IP23 or higher protection is standard on the 1600 kW set, with higher grades available for dust, humidity, rain or heat.

The 1600 kW package arrives as one unit with the enclosure, base frame and control panel already assembled, so installation work on site is limited to positioning, cabling and commissioning.

Design duty at 1600 kW prime and 1760 kW standby is standby operation with a hard step load, which is why the alternator is matched against starting kVA rather than running kW alone.

The engine is drawn from the Cummins, Perkins, Weichai and Yuchai platforms and aligned to the alternator before full-load testing, which is the test that proves the step-load response.

Closed-circuit water cooling with forced fan and a large water tank keeps coolant temperature stable during long idle periods interrupted by sudden load, a pattern typical of data centre standby.

Sealed dustproof and anti-corrosion treatment to IP23 or higher, with fire-system and alarm interfaces available so the set integrates with the building life-safety scheme.

ATS, remote monitoring and synchronising options can be specified; where two or more units share the load, control and load-sharing settings are configured to the site scheme.
Standard 40HQ container package configuration at 1600 kW prime / 1760 kW standby (2000 kVA). Ratings, voltage and frequency are confirmed at specification.
Engine platformCummins · Perkins · Weichai · YuchaiEngines on the 1600 kW set come from the Cummins, Perkins, Weichai and Yuchai platforms and are matched to the alternator; the platform for your order is confirmed at order stage. |
Control & protectionATS & remote monitoringOn the 1600 kW set an optional automatic transfer switch and remote monitoring module are available, so the transition happens without an operator on site. |
Build configurationContainerized standardThis model ships as a containerized set. Open frame, containerized and mobile builds of the same rating are available under OEM/ODM terms. |
1. IT and UPS supportTakes over the critical bus when the utility fails, carrying servers, storage and network equipment through an outage of any duration. |
2. Cooling and chilled-water plantDrives chillers, pumps and CRAC units so heat rejection continues after the mains drops, which is what actually protects the IT load. |
3. Automatic transfer and parallelingStarted through an optional ATS or a synchronising panel so the transition happens without an operator on site. |
4. Edge and container sitesSized for remote edge nodes where the incoming supply is one feed only and the generator is the sole backup. |
5. Maintenance and load-bank testingSupports scheduled testing with resistive load banks so the set is proven at rated load rather than idled. |
6. Fire, access and security systemsKeeps fire suppression, access control and CCTV live during an outage, including the period before the mains returns. |
This 1600 kW rating is engineered and tested to one standard across the three builds — what changes is enclosure, access and transport.
