The GSW Series is Pramac’s widest fixed standby range, running from 9.2 kVA to 4,165 kVA. It covers everything from a small commercial standby set through to multi megawatt plant for data centres, hospitals, water treatment, manufacturing and process industry.
GSW sets are supplied as open skid mounted plant for installation inside a plant room, or in a silenced enclosure for external siting. Larger ratings use a modular design so the control, power and cooling sections can be specified to suit the installation.
Depending on rating, GSW sets are powered by Perkins, Volvo, Baudouin, Doosan or Yanmar engines, all water cooled with electric starting. Canning can advise on the right engine and alternator combination for your load profile and running hours.
