GenTech SA supplies the 450 kVA Scania diesel generator around the confirmed Scania engine specification and the requirements of the application. Correct sizing should consider running kW, motor starting current, power factor, altitude, operating hours, load sequencing and the equipment that must remain powered during a mains failure.
Factories, manufacturing sites, large commercial buildings, logistics facilities and industrial standby applications where load sequencing, starting current and operating duty are important.
ATS / automatic changeover is included as standard for mains-failure operation. Where the site control system requires it, the generator can also be configured for solar-ready operation to support site load or battery charging.
GenTech SA supports supplied generator sets with scheduled servicing, repairs, fault finding, replacement parts and technical assistance. Service access and long-term maintenance planning should be considered as part of the complete installation.
The generator rating alone is not enough to confirm suitability. Motors, pumps, compressors, refrigeration and industrial machinery can create high starting currents, while altitude and power factor can reduce operating margin. GenTech SA can review the actual load before quotation.
Scania-powered generator sets can be supplied in sound-attenuated or project-specific enclosure arrangements. Canopy design, ventilation, fuel autonomy, control requirements and access can be adapted around the project where required.
GenTech SA welcomes Scania generator enquiries throughout South Africa and selected African export markets. Transport, off-loading, positioning, installation and commissioning requirements are confirmed according to the generator size and destination.
Yes. GenTech SA includes ATS / automatic mains-failure changeover as standard on the generator build.
Yes. The current GenTech SA Scania range is configured for three-phase 380–400 V, 50 Hz operation.
That depends on running load, starting current, operating pattern, altitude, power factor and site conditions. GenTech SA can review the application before quotation.
Yes. Nationwide delivery enquiries are welcome, and selected African export requirements can also be quoted.
