1.6 MW for large projects
2000 kVA diesel generator
Rated output: 2000 kVA · Approx. 1600 kW at PF 0.8 · Voltage: 400 V / 50 Hz
2000 kVA generators are the choice for large data centres, industrial complexes and primary energy applications requiring 1.6 MW. They are deployed in redundant N+1 configurations and can be integrated into SCADA, DCIM and BMS systems. Units at this level are built per project.
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 2000 kVA project is confirmed during sizing, never assumed.
Typical use
Typical applications for a 2000 kVA generator
Large data centres (Tier IV)
Backup for Tier IV data centres — 2N redundancy, highest availability requirements, UPS integration.
Energy projects
Primary or backup power for large energy infrastructure and off-grid industrial sites.
Large industrial complexes
Backup for complexes above 1.5 MW — petrochemicals, steelworks, manufacturing plants.
Critical infrastructure
Backup for airports, dams and other critical infrastructure where continuity of operation is essential.
Mining projects
Primary power for mining operations, ore processing and off-grid industrial sites.
Multi-plant industrial areas
Central standby source for a large industrial park with total demand above 1.5 MW.

Typical configuration of a 2000 kVA generator
Parallel synchronisation
Operation in a parallel configuration with precise synchronisation for N+1 or 2N redundancy — designed individually per project.
SCADA / DCIM integration
Integration into SCADA, DCIM and BMS where supported by the selected control configuration — an individual project solution.
N+1 redundancy
N+1 or 2N redundancy designs for critical applications — engineered per project.
HVO compatibility
Compatibility with HVO fuel is available on selected models to reduce the carbon footprint — confirmed for the specific unit during sizing.
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
2000 kVA — common questions
Is a 2000 kVA generator the right size for my project?
A 2000 kVA rating corresponds to roughly 1600 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 2000 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.
What does the quotation process for a 2000 kVA project look like?
Send us the project parameters — intended duty (PRP or ESP), load profile, site conditions and required redundancy. Our engineers prepare a technical proposal with the confirmed configuration, delivery scope and terms. Availability and lead times are always confirmed in the 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 2000 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.
