Technical specifications for the 200 kVA generator and the rest of the range

A 200 kVA generator belongs to a unified standby series: the power rating changes while the platform remains the same. The values below are actual standby-power ratings. Exact dimensions and weight are confirmed in the technical datasheet for each power step.

How to choose the right power

Sizing starts with the loads the generator must support during an outage: lighting, lifts, ventilation, IT equipment, pumps and refrigeration systems. Add their power requirements, then include a reserve for motor starting, which briefly demands several times the nominal current.

Because the series is standby-rated, a 200 kVA generator is sized for emergency duty, not continuous operation. Send us your load list and we will tell you which rating in the 33-715 kVA range covers the requirement and whether you need a dedicated prime-power rating.

Standby operation and autonomy

ISO 8528 defines emergency standby power (ESP), available for a limited number of hours per year without overload, exactly the duty of a backup generator. This range is standby-rated, meaning it is optimized to take over the load when the grid fails and hold it until mains power returns.

Autonomy depends on the tank and load. The integrated tank covers a typical standby duty, while extended operation can use a larger tank or external fuel supply. For continuous prime operation, we request the dedicated rating and the appropriate configuration.

Why diesel

For industrial standby power, the diesel engine remains the solution with the best balance of cost, autonomy and reliability. It starts reliably in an emergency, offers high energy density and handles large loads, unlike petrol generators, which are limited to lower power levels.

Unlike a UPS, which covers only a few minutes, a diesel generator can support the load for hours or days as long as fuel is available. That is why it is the standard backup choice for buildings, industry and critical infrastructure.

Components and construction

The technical platform is common across the entire series: liquid-cooled diesel engine, brushless alternator with 100% copper windings and automatic voltage regulator, digital controller with protections, and a frame with anti-vibration mounts for stable installation.

Components are selected for dependable emergency starting and easy spare-parts support. A generator built on a unified platform is easier to maintain and troubleshoot, regardless of the selected power rating.

Applications and industries for the 200 kVA generator

A 200 kVA generator is used as a backup source in commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, factories and data centres. When the grid fails, it automatically takes over critical loads, from lifts and ventilation to medical equipment and IT systems, without a noticeable interruption for users.

At the lower end of the range, standby generators supply offices, shops, farms and workshops; at the upper end, a 400 kVA generator or a higher rating supports industrial sites, pumping stations and critical infrastructure. Soundproof enclosed or containerized versions allow outdoor installation.

For facilities operating non-stop, a 200 kVA generator forms part of the business-continuity plan. See the full GENKRAFT diesel generator range for other series and power ratings, or request sizing from the GENKRAFT technical team. The equipment carries CE marking in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Whatever the application, a 200 kVA generator delivers the same stable three-phase power, with optional automatic starting and a configuration selected for the installation site. A common technical platform across the 33-715 kVA range means shared parts and predictable service.

Installation, delivery and documentation

As a reseller, we prepare every order to the selected configuration: power, enclosure, voltage and options. Delivery time therefore depends on the configuration and is confirmed in the quotation together with the final price.

At delivery, the equipment comes with CE marking and conformity documentation. On request, we provide the technical datasheet and certifications required for a financing file. Electrical connection and commissioning are performed by an authorised electrician in accordance with the site's electrical design.

How it works

A 200 kVA standby generator follows a simple sequence from mains failure to restoration:

1. The mains sensor detects loss of supply or a voltage deviation in the public grid.

2. The ATS automation panel commands the diesel engine to start and disconnects the mains.

3. The generator reaches rated speed and the alternator delivers stable three-phase voltage.

4. Within a few seconds of the outage, the ATS transfers the load to the generator without human intervention.

5. When mains power returns, the system transfers the loads back and stops the engine after the cool-down period.

6. The digital controller monitors operating parameters and shuts the set down on protection events, with an alarm log.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean that a 200 kVA generator is standby-rated?

It means the declared rating is emergency standby power (ESP), available for a limited number of hours per year without overload, in accordance with ISO 8528-5. It is the correct duty for backup applications, where the generator takes over only when the grid fails.

What prime power can I obtain for continuous operation?

A 200 kVA generator in this series is optimized for standby duty. If you need continuous prime operation, we obtain the dedicated rating and suitable configuration from the manufacturer and size the system accordingly.

Does it automatically take over the building during a power outage?

Yes. With an ATS panel, the generator starts and transfers the load within seconds of a mains failure, then automatically returns the load to the grid when power is restored. For critical buildings, an ATS is recommended as standard.

What power range does the 200 kVA generator series cover?

The series covers 33 to 715 kVA in standby power. Choose the rating that matches your loads, from a small building to an industrial site or data centre.

What configurations are available?

Open for a technical room, soundproof enclosed for low-noise outdoor installation, or containerized for a fully independent installation. The version is selected according to the installation site.

Is it eligible for projects funded by European funds?

Yes. A 200 kVA generator comes with CE marking and conformity documentation, so it can be included in co-financed investment projects. On request, we provide the technical datasheet and certifications for the project file.

What maintenance does it require?

Basic maintenance means checking the oil, filters, coolant and battery at the intervals specified in the manual. The digital controller signals alarms, and regular maintenance ensures a long service life.

Can it be monitored remotely?

Yes, optionally. With the monitoring module, generator status, fuel level and alarms can be viewed remotely over the network, which is useful for unattended sites.

How do I order and receive a quote?

Choose the power rating and configuration, then request a quote. We confirm the configuration, price and delivery time. Because each unit is prepared to order, you receive exactly the version suited to your project.
