Product overview

Heavy-duty open frame diesel generator sets for sites without a reliable grid

280 kW prime / 308 kW standby — 350 kVA — built as a open frame set package for mid-size industrial and site power.

The Outevo 280 kW Open Frame Diesel Generator Set is used for production lines and compressors, hotels and commercial buildings, data and telecom rooms, typically continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Loads are normally panel boards with mixed motor and lighting loads.

Every unit is assembled and load-tested on our own production line for the 280 kW class. Shanghai Outevo Machinery Co., Ltd. has manufactured diesel and gas generator sets since 2006 from a 20,000 m² manufacturing facility with a fully automatic line, and more than 2,000 sets have been delivered to over 100 countries.

Protection on the 280 kW set is IP23 or higher, upgradable for dusty, humid, rainy or high-temperature sites.

Product features

Engineered for site conditions, not for the showroom

Heavy-Duty Open Frame Construction

The 280 kW package is built open on a fabricated steel base frame with anti-vibration mounts, which keeps inspection, filter changes and fault finding straightforward.

280 kW Prime / 308 kW Standby Duty

Declared output is 280 kW prime and 308 kW standby (350 kVA) at 380/220 V, 50 Hz, 1500 rpm. Design duty is continuous prime duty with regular load swings with panel boards with mixed motor and lighting loads.

Tier-1 Diesel Engine Platforms

At 280 kW the diesel engine is selected from Cummins, Perkins, Weichai and Yuchai, then matched and aligned to the alternator before full-load testing in our own facility.

Closed Water-Cooling with Forced Fan

Closed-circuit water cooling with forced fan and a large water tank is specified for the 280 kW set, which stabilises temperature in high ambient and continuous load duty.

Industrial Protection and Environmental Adaptability

The 280 kW set carries sealed dustproof, waterproof and anti-corrosion treatment to IP23 or higher, with uprated protection available for severe sites.

Flexible Configuration and Fast Deployment

ATS, remote monitoring module, cable winch and quick connectors can be specified on the 280 kW set; the control, protection and voltage settings are configured to the project specification.

Applications

Where this 280 kW open frame diesel generator set is used

1. Production lines Where production lines and compressors is the load, the 280 kW rating is normally specified at continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Mixed motor and lighting load means the alternator is matched with step-load margin at 280 kW.

2. Hotels The 280 kW open frame diesel generator set set suits hotels and commercial buildings. Duty is continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Shift patterns for the 280 kW set usually mean 12–16 hours a day, so fuel autonomy is calculated on that basis.

3. Data Data and telecom rooms is a standard application for the 280 kW unit, which runs at continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Compressor and motor starts drive the transient requirement, which is checked against the 280 kW rating.

4. Quarries The 280 kW set is commonly applied to quarries and crushing plants at continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Parallel operation on the 280 kW set is often considered where duty is split between two units.

5. Agricultural processing For agricultural processing the 280 kW rating covers mid-size industrial and site power at continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Sound limits at the boundary usually point to a canopy build at the 280 kW rating.

6. Site offices Where site offices and welfare blocks is the load, the 280 kW rating is normally specified at continuous prime duty with regular load swings. Cable runs for the 280 kW set are longer, so voltage drop is checked before the final rating is fixed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this 280 kW open frame diesel generator set

What power rating does this generator set provide?

This unit is rated 280 kW prime / 308 kW standby (350 kVA) at 380/220 V, 50 Hz, 1500 rpm. Rated current is stated on the approved data sheet for the selected build, because it follows the voltage and power factor confirmed for the project.

Which diesel engines are available for this set?

This 280 kW set is available on Cummins, Perkins, Weichai and Yuchai platforms. The engine is matched to the alternator at the 280 kW rating and the complete set is aligned and full-load tested in our own works, so the platform for your order is confirmed at specification stage rather than assumed.

Open Frame, silent or containerized — how do I choose?

Enclosure choice follows site conditions rather than rating. This page covers the open frame set build; at 280 kW the same engine and alternator package can also be supplied in the other builds across Outevo’s 10–3,750 kVA range, with parallel operation is available where duty is split across two units.

Can the voltage and frequency be customised?

Yes. 380/220 V and 50 Hz are the published standard for the 280 kW rating, but voltage and frequency are set to your project specification under OEM/ODM terms, including 60 Hz and medium-voltage requirements where the project calls for them.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One set. A single 280 kW unit can be ordered for a standalone site; where load growth or redundancy is expected, parallel operation is available where duty is split across two units. Other ratings in the 10–3,750 kVA range are quoted per project.

How is the quality of each unit assured?

Every 280 kW set is assembled and load-tested on our own production lines before shipment, and travels with a data sheet and test record. Shanghai Outevo Machinery Co., Ltd. has manufactured diesel and gas generator sets since 2006 from a 20,000 m² manufacturing facility.
