450 kVA Generators for Sale
A 450kVA generator provides around 360kW of usable power – a capacity well suited to large commercial premises, manufacturing plants, distribution centres, and industrial facilities requiring robust standby power or continuous prime power. We stock 450kVA diesel generators from Cummins, Perkins, FG Wilson, and CAT. Units are available in open-frame configuration for dedicated plant rooms or as canopied silent generators where noise levels are a concern. Typical applications at 450kVA include server room and data centre backup, medium-sized hospitals, food processing facilities, office complexes, and business backup for operations where power continuity is essential. Not sure if 450kVA is the right fit? We also supply 400kVA and 500kVA generators – our sales team can help calculate the correct size based on your connected load and starting current requirements.

450 kVA Generators for Sale
A 450kVA generator delivers substantial power capacity for large-scale commercial operations, industrial manufacturing plants, hospitals, data centres, hotels, distribution centres, and major construction projects. These robust diesel sets provide dependable performance for both critical standby backup and continuous prime power applications. At Generator Warehouse, we stock premium 450kVA models from industry-leading manufacturers including Cummins, FG Wilson, and Perkins.
Our 450kVA diesel generators are available in both soundproofed canopy enclosures for urban installations and noise-controlled environments, and open-frame configurations for industrial sites where acoustic attenuation isn’t a priority. Each unit can be specified with automatic transfer switching, synchronisation for parallel operation, remote monitoring capabilities, and advanced load management systems to ensure seamless integration with your existing electrical infrastructure.
Built to deliver consistent performance under demanding conditions, 450kVA generators are commonly deployed in healthcare facilities requiring uninterrupted power, manufacturing operations that can’t afford production downtime, large commercial properties needing comprehensive business continuity protection, and construction sites requiring robust temporary power solutions. They offer excellent fuel efficiency, emissions compliance, and straightforward maintenance requirements for both standby and continuous operation.
How much power does a 450 kVA generator provide?
A 450 kVA generator provides approximately 360 kW of power, which is sufficient to support large commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and extensive backup systems. This level of power can support HVAC systems, lighting, machinery, and critical infrastructure, ensuring that operations continue smoothly during power outages. It’s also suitable for applications where multiple loads need to be managed simultaneously, such as in large hospitals or manufacturing plants. For smaller facilities, a 300kVA or 350kVA generator may be adequate, while larger operations often require 500kVA or 600kVA generators.
Is a 450 kVA generator cost-effective?
While the initial purchase and installation costs of a 450 kVA generator are high, it becomes cost-effective over time due to its fuel efficiency, reliability, and long lifespan. For businesses that cannot afford downtime, such as data centres or hospitals, the cost of a generator is justified by the protection it offers against power outages. Additionally, modern 450 kVA generators often feature advanced control systems that optimise fuel consumption, further reducing operational costs. If your power demands are lower, a 200kVA or 250kVA generator will offer reduced running costs while still providing reliable backup power.
What is the maintenance schedule for a 450 kVA generator?
A 450 kVA generator requires regular maintenance to ensure it operates reliably when needed. The maintenance schedule typically includes oil and filter changes every 200-300 hours of operation, inspecting belts and hoses, checking coolant levels, and testing the battery. Additionally, it’s important to perform a full inspection annually, even if the generator has not been used frequently. Regular load testing is also recommended to ensure the generator can handle its full rated capacity during an emergency. Generator Warehouse offers servicing and maintenance support across our full range, from 100kVA generators through to 800kVA and 1000kVA units.
