400 kVA Generator FAQs

What industries benefit most from 400 kVA generators?

400 kVA generators are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, telecommunications, hospitality, and large-scale event management. They provide reliable backup power for factories, ensuring that production lines continue operating during outages. In telecommunications, they ensure that networks and data centers remain online. Hotels and large event venues use 400 kVA generators to maintain comfort and services for guests during power disruptions.

Can a 400 kVA generator support a data centre?

Yes, a 400 kVA generator is well-suited for data centers, providing stable and uninterrupted power for servers, networking equipment, and cooling systems. In data centers, any power disruption can lead to significant data loss and downtime, so having a reliable backup generator is essential. Additionally, data centers often use multiple generators in parallel for added redundancy, ensuring that power is continuously available even during maintenance or in case of generator failure.

What type of fuel is typically used in 400 kVA generators?

Diesel is the most common fuel type used in 400 kVA generators due to its efficiency, availability, and ability to provide long runtimes. Diesel engines are durable and well-suited for heavy-duty applications, making them ideal for large generators. Additionally, diesel fuel is easier to store and less volatile than gasoline, which contributes to safety and reliability in industrial settings. Some models may also support alternative fuels like natural gas or biodiesel, depending on the application and environmental considerations.

What type of businesses or applications is a 400kVA generator suitable for?

400kVA generators are ideal for large industrial facilities, construction sites, hospitals, data centres, mines, and manufacturing plants, or anywhere a reliable high-capacity backup or prime power source is required.

Do you offer both standby and prime-rated 400kVA generators?

Yes, Generator Warehouse supplies 400kVA generators rated for both standby (emergency use) and prime (continuous or variable load) power applications. Speak to our team to determine which rating best suits your needs.

Are your 400kVA generators diesel or gas-powered?

Most 400kVA generators supplied by Generator Warehouse are diesel-powered, due to their reliability, fuel efficiency, and widespread use in industrial settings.

Can I get a 400kVA generator with an acoustic canopy or weatherproof enclosure?

Absolutely. We offer sound-attenuated (silent) and weatherproof canopies to ensure your generator runs quietly and is protected from the elements, making it suitable for outdoor installation.

What are the typical dimensions and weight of a 400kVA generator?

While dimensions can vary by model, a 400kVA diesel generator with canopy typically measures around 4.5m (L) x 1.6m (W) x 2.3m (H) and weighs approximately 4,500–5,500kg. Open (non-canopied) sets will be smaller and lighter.

Do you offer delivery and installation services for 400kVA generators?

Yes, we provide nationwide delivery and can arrange professional installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance support through our certified engineers.

What kind of warranty is included with a 400kVA generator?

Our 400kVA generators typically come with a 12- to 24-month warranty (or 1,000–2,000 running hours), depending on the manufacturer. Extended warranty options are also available upon request.
