Product Overview
The AKSA APD688C is a heavy-duty diesel generating set built for dependable standby power use across commercial, industrial, construction, infrastructure, agricultural, and backup power applications. It delivers 688 kVA / 550.4 kW standby power, making it suitable for sites that require high-capacity 50Hz, 3-phase electrical supply.
Powered by a Cummins KTAA19G6A diesel engine, the APD688C uses a 6-cylinder, 18.9-litre, turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine running at 1500rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection, electronic governor control, water cooling, replaceable fuel, oil and dry element air filters, and a 12/24V DC starter and charge alternator system.
The generator is supplied with a brushless single-bearing alternator with revolving field design, 2/3 pitch stator, flexible disc rotor, Class H insulation, self-excitation, self-regulation, and solid-state automatic voltage regulation. This helps provide stable output for large standby loads and general electrical equipment used in critical backup power applications.
The APD688C is available in open, canopy, soundproof canopy, and container configuration. The generator set includes a heavy-duty base frame, integrated fuel tank options, flexible fuel connection hoses, manual oil sump drain valve, industrial exhaust silencer, steel bellows, starter battery with rack and cables, and service-friendly access for routine maintenance.
