Critical infrastructure backup
1000 kVA diesel generator
Rated output: 1000 kVA · Approx. 800 kW at PF 0.8 · Voltage: 400 V / 50 Hz
1000 kVA diesel generators are suitable for both standby and primary power of industrial operations, data centres and energy projects. The 800 kW output (at PF 0.8) covers critical infrastructure and large process units — from industrial plants through Tier III data centres to off-grid energy projects. Units at this level are typically configured per project rather than held in stock.
Duty types
PRP and ESP are not interchangeable
ESP — standby power
Emergency operation during grid outages at variable load. The rating applies to limited-hour standby duty, not continuous running.
PRP — prime power
Variable continuous operation as the main power source. A prime rating is lower than the standby rating of the same unit and is confirmed per engine and application.
Tell us the intended duty when you inquire — the required rating (PRP or ESP) for your 1000 kVA project is confirmed during sizing, never assumed.
Typical use
Typical applications for a 1000 kVA generator
Industrial plants
Backup for large production operations — automotive, chemical industry, heavy manufacturing and metal processing.
Data centres
Backup for Tier III data centres with N+1 redundancy and high availability requirements.
Energy projects
Primary power for off-grid projects, backup for transformer stations and energy infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure
Backup for airports, hospital campuses, water-management nodes and public safety infrastructure.
Industrial parks
Central standby source for an industrial park or technology campus.
Petrochemicals and refineries
Backup for critical processes in refineries, petrochemical plants and oil terminals.

Typical configuration of a 1000 kVA generator
Automatic transfer switch (ATS)
Certified ATS for changeover in about 10 seconds on suitable models — unattended operation agreed per project.
Parallel synchronisation
Parallel operation for N+1 configurations and outputs beyond 2 MVA — designed individually as part of the project.
SCADA integration
Integration into SCADA, DCIM and BMS systems where supported by the selected control configuration — an individual project solution.
Extended fuel autonomy
Long-running configurations (for example around 72 hours) with connections to external storage tanks, depending on the model and project requirements.
All options above are project variants depending on the selected model and agreed scope — they are not universal features of every unit. Tank autonomy, sound levels, monitoring interfaces, HVO compatibility and paralleling are confirmed for the specific configuration in your quotation. All units come with the manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently asked questions
1000 kVA — common questions
Is a 1000 kVA generator the right size for my project?
A 1000 kVA rating corresponds to roughly 800 kW of usable output at a power factor of 0.8. Compare the total connected load of your facility, including starting currents of the largest motors, with the continuous load you need to sustain. Our engineers verify the final sizing from your actual load profile before a quotation.
Is 1000 kVA a standby (ESP) or prime (PRP) rating?
Both duty types exist in this power class, and the numbers are not interchangeable: an ESP (standby) rating applies to emergency operation during grid outages, while PRP (prime) applies to variable continuous operation. Always tell us the intended duty — the required rating (PRP or ESP) is confirmed during project sizing, never assumed.
Are 1000 kVA units available from stock?
Units of 1000 kVA and above are typically project-built to order rather than held in warehouse stock — the shared stock list currently covers ratings up to 825 kVA ESP. Send us your requirement and we will confirm the configuration and delivery terms in your quotation.
Czech projects
Supply, design, commissioning or turnkey
For Czech customers we can deliver the generator alone, design the installation, commission it on a prepared site, or realize the project turnkey — with contracted service according to the agreed scope. The scope is clarified during consultation.
International
Direct sale, preferably EXW CZ/NL
International customers receive a direct generator sale, preferably EXW CZ/NL, with transport arranged individually. Installation and service abroad are confirmed individually per destination and model.
Availability and dispatch
Units of 1000 kVA and above are typically configured and built per project rather than held in warehouse stock — the shared stock list currently covers ratings up to 825 kVA ESP. Send us your requirement and the configuration, availability and lead time are confirmed in your quotation.
