600 kVA Generators For Sale
A 600kVA generator provides around 480kW of usable power – a capacity suited to medium-to-large industrial facilities, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, and commercial buildings requiring dependable standby power or prime power solutions.We stock 600kVA diesel generators from Cummins, Perkins, FG Wilson, and CAT, built for reliability and long service life. Choose from open-frame units for plant rooms or acoustically enclosed silent generators for noise-sensitive locations.Typical applications at 600kVA include server room and data centre backup, healthcare facilities, food production plants, and business backup where uninterrupted power is critical. This size is often chosen for sites where a 500kVA falls just short of requirements, or where a 700kVA offers unnecessary headroom.
600 kVA quick specifications: A 600 kVA diesel generator gives about 480 kW of prime power and around 528 kW on standby. At 400V three phase it supplies roughly 866 amps per phase. Typical fuel use is about 66 to 120 litres an hour depending on load. Sets this size suit data centres, hospitals, large industrial plants, major events and other critical power applications. New prices are typically around £58,000 to £95,000 ex VAT, although engine, alternator, canopy, controls and installation affect the final quote.

600kVA Generators For Sale
A 600kVA generator delivers substantial power output for large-scale commercial operations, industrial manufacturing plants, hospitals, data centres, hotels, shopping centres, distribution warehouses, and major infrastructure projects. These heavy-duty diesel sets provide dependable performance for both mission-critical standby backup and continuous prime power generation, making them essential for businesses where operational continuity is paramount.
At Generator Warehouse, we stock premium 600kVA models from industry-leading manufacturers including FG Wilson, Perkins, and Cummins. Each generator is built to withstand demanding conditions whilst delivering fuel-efficient, reliable power when you need it most.
Our 600kVA 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 comprehensive load management systems to ensure seamless integration with your existing electrical infrastructure.
Built to deliver consistent performance under the most demanding conditions, 600kVA generators are commonly deployed in healthcare facilities requiring uninterrupted power supply, manufacturing plants where production continuity is critical, large commercial properties needing comprehensive business continuity protection, and data centres where even momentary power loss isn’t an option. They offer excellent fuel efficiency, emissions compliance, and straightforward maintenance requirements for both standby and continuous operation.
At Generator Warehouse, we provide complete project support from initial consultation through to commissioning and beyond. This includes expert technical specification, competitive pricing on all major brands, nationwide delivery and professional installation, comprehensive commissioning services, and ongoing maintenance support. Our experienced technical team will work with you to assess your load profile, runtime requirements, fuel infrastructure, and site constraints to recommend the most suitable 600kVA diesel generator for your specific application.
What businesses typically use a 600 kVA generator?
Businesses that typically use a 600 kVA generator include large manufacturing plants, high-rise buildings, data centres, and critical infrastructure like airports. These businesses require a reliable and robust power supply to ensure continuous operation. In manufacturing, a 600 kVA generator can power production lines, machinery, and heavy equipment, while in high-rise buildings, it ensures that elevators, lighting, and HVAC systems remain operational during power outages. Smaller commercial operations may find a 400kVA or 500kVA generator sufficient, while larger facilities often require 700kVA or 800kVA generators.
What are the key features of a 600 kVA generator?
Key features of a 600 kVA generator include automatic voltage regulation (AVR), remote monitoring, advanced fuel management systems, and robust safety features like overload protection and emergency shutdown. Remote monitoring allows operators to track the generator’s performance and status in real time, ensuring quick response to any issues. Advanced fuel management systems optimise fuel consumption, reducing operational costs. These features make the generator suitable for demanding applications where reliability and efficiency are paramount. Similar advanced features are available across our high-capacity range, including 900kVA and 1000kVA generators.
How many kW is a 600 kVA generator?
At a typical 0.8 power factor, a 600 kVA generator provides about 480 kW of prime power. Standby power is commonly around 528 kW, but the exact rating should be checked on the chosen model’s datasheet.
How many amps does a 600 kVA generator supply?
At 400V three phase, a 600 kVA generator supplies about 866 amps per phase. This is a guide only: a qualified electrician should confirm cable, switchgear and protection sizes for the installation.
How much fuel does a 600 kVA generator use per hour?
A diesel generator of this size typically uses about 66 to 120 litres an hour, depending on load. Treat this as a planning range rather than a model-specific figure and check the selected generator’s fuel-consumption curve for an exact estimate.
How much does a 600 kVA generator cost?
Indicative new prices are commonly around £58,000 to £95,000 ex VAT. Engine and alternator brand, acoustic canopy, control panel, fuel tank, delivery, commissioning and installation can all change the final quote.
What can a 600 kVA generator power?
This size is commonly used for data centres, hospitals, large industrial plants, major events and other critical power applications. The right choice still depends on the total running load and the starting current of the largest motors or equipment.
