5. FAQ (Common Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is the difference between prime power and standby power of YC6B160Z-D20 generator set?
The prime power (90kW/112.5kVA) refers to the long-term continuous usable power of the unit, which supports 24-hour continuous power generation and long-term stable load operation, suitable for daily off-grid power supply and long-term continuous power generation scenarios. The standby power (100kW/125kVA) is the emergency peak power, which is only used for short-term emergency power supply after power outage. It does not support long-term full-load operation, and the usage time is limited. In actual use, we recommend taking prime power as the standard for conventional matching load to avoid long-term overload operation affecting the service life of the unit.
Q2: What are the advantages of brushless self-excited alternator of this generator set compared with brushed type?
This Yuchai generator set is equipped with a brushless self-excited alternator with H-class insulation and IP23 protection. Compared with the traditional brushed alternator, it has no carbon brush friction and wear problems, eliminating frequent carbon brush replacement and maintenance work. It has lower failure rate, more stable voltage output, stronger dustproof and anti-interference ability, and can adapt to long-term continuous operation in harsh working environments. Meanwhile, the brushless structure effectively reduces operating noise and electromagnetic interference, which is more in line with the operation requirements of industrial and commercial high-stability power supply scenarios.
Q3: What is the fuel consumption level of YC6B160Z-D20 diesel generator set in actual use?
The calibrated full-load fuel consumption of the unit is 29.1L/H. In actual operation, the fuel consumption is positively correlated with the load rate. Under 75% medium load (the most conventional working condition), the fuel consumption is about 22-24L/H, and under 50% light load, the fuel consumption is only 16-18L/H. Benefiting from Yuchai’s optimized combustion technology and low oil consumption sealing technology, the unit’s fuel and lubricating oil consumption are both lower than most peer 90kW-class diesel generators. Long-term operation can effectively reduce the user’s fuel cost and maintenance cost, with prominent energy-saving and economic advantages.
