PowerBox C1000 D2R and C1250 D2R

Reliable, flexible power systems engineered to provide cost-effective

power even in the most remote environments
The new PowerBox
Built for harsh environments
The new PowerBox is ideal for long-term power projects in a wide variety of on-site prime power applications
such as powering remote villages, industrial plants, refineries or mining operations. Whether paralleled with the utility
or isolated from the grid, these power units are designed to be easy to use and reliable.

Rugged, hardworking engines

The KTA38 and KTA50 diesel engines are known for their durability. They are suitable for all markets and
tolerate wide variations in fuel quality. Plus with high derating threshold for temperatures, altitudes and humidity,
these engines rank among the top performers no matter what the conditions.

Tough cooling and exhaust systems

The cooling system is engineered to meet Limiting Ambient Temperature (LAT) in excess of 50 ºC
at continuous rating. Its vertical hot air discharge makes the PowerBox suitable for installations of multiple
generator sets in a single location.
