170 kVA diesel generators.
Compare UK-designed and UK-manufactured 170 kVA diesel generator options and nearby ratings from Baudouin, Cummins, Perkins. Check the exact prime and standby output, engine and enclosure before selecting.
Options around 170 kVA.
A rounded GPS model class is not a guaranteed duty rating. The tables below identify the actual documented output for each reference configuration.
Specify 170 kVA around your load.
For larger commercial sites and industrial equipment, assess the largest load step, motor starting, nonlinear loads and the operating duty. The steady-state kVA total alone does not settle the generator size.
At a power factor of 0.8, 170 kVA corresponds to 136 kW mathematically. That conversion is not a substitute for the manufacturer’s duty rating or a starting-load assessment.
Discuss your load scheduleDoes a 170 kVA model deliver 170 kVA continuously?
The model class alone does not establish continuous capability. Check prime and standby ratings and the manufacturer’s load-profile conditions. Confirm the intended run hours and average load when requesting a quotation.
Can I get a canopied 170 kVA generator?
Compare the canopied entries above, then confirm enclosure dimensions, sound requirements and final duty rating with GenPro.
Which engine brands are available at this output?
The comparison above includes Baudouin, Cummins, Perkins. Some are close alternatives rather than an exact match; use the electrical rating table to compare them.
