Ricardo 75 kVA Diesel Generator

Ricardo 75 kVA Diesel Generator

Sizing a generating set starts with separating two numbers: the peak a site draws in short bursts, and the load it carries hour after hour. The Ricardo 75 kVA covers both from a single frame, rated at 75 kVA / 60 kW standby (ESP) and 68 kVA / 54.4 kW prime (PRP). At a 0.8 power factor those ratings translate into 108 A standby and 98 A prime, so cable sizing and switchgear selection can be settled long before the unit reaches its foundation.

Engine

Power comes from a RICARDO R4105IZLD. It is a 4-cylinder inline engine of 4.33 L, with a 105 x 125 mm bore and stroke, a 16:1 compression ratio and turbocharged induction. Fuel consumption is quoted at 16.5 L/hour at 100% load and 12.3 L/hour at 75% load, which makes daily fuel budgeting straightforward once the duty cycle is known.

Alternator and Electrical Values

Alternator output is 400/230 V at 50 Hz across three phases, so three-phase machinery and 230 V single-phase circuits can both be served. Power factor is 0.8, insulation is class H and the protection rating is IP23. Working current is 108 A in standby operation and 98 A in prime operation.

Installation and Use

The set can be specified with a canopy or as an open frame. Canopied dimensions are 2400 x 1000 x 1500 mm (L x W x H) and the open type measures 2100 x 1000 mm (L x W), so the footprint and service clearances are worth measuring in advance. The generator originates from Türkiye and carries a 24-month warranty.
