500 kVA Baudouin generator for a Gloucestershire timber company
A 500 kVA Blackwell generator with a Baudouin engine, supplied to a timber and garden buildings business in Gloucestershire.
The customer
A timber and garden buildings manufacturer in Gloucestershire needed a large diesel generator for its site, where woodworking machinery, dust extraction, compressors and lighting all draw power.
What we supplied
We supplied a 500 kVA Blackwell enclosed diesel generator powered by a Baudouin engine. The set was loaded and dispatched from us direct to the customer.
Sizing for machinery
Motor-driven machines pull far more power when they start than when they run. Working out which machines start together — and which can be staggered — is what decides the right kVA, not just adding up the running loads.
