Volvo Penta TAD1382VE

D13 Generator Drive

Volvo Penta TAD1382VE fixed-speed generator-drive diesel engine with published 50 Hz at 1,500 rpm and 60 Hz at 1,800 rpm ratings. The table separates mechanical engine output (kWm), electrical output (kWe), and generator-set apparent power (kVA). These derated generator ratings must not be substituted with the model's higher variable-speed off-road maximum-power curve.
