The model of an FG Wilson generator gives important information. The following is an explanation of how to interpret this information.
- The first letter denotes the make of the engine (e.g. P – Perkins, S -Scania) while the second letter, if applicable, specifies the alternator model (e.g. W – WEG Alternator). There will not be a second letter if it’s the standard FG Wilson alternator manufactured by Leroy Somer.
- The numbers immediately after the letters indicate the standard kVA rating of the generator at 50Hz (except for a few that are dedicated 60Hz models such as the P513P1/P563E1, P563P3/P625E3, P688ER2, P675P5/P750E5). If there are no letters following the numbers or if it’s followed by the letter ‘P’, this means that it’s a prime rated unit. If there is an ‘E’ following the numbers, this means the generator is a standby rated unit. (A few models that have the letter “H” indicates that it’s a HEUI engine).
- The number that follows (if applicable) is the series of the generator. When major changes are made to a particular generator model, such as the introduction of a new engine, the suffix of that model is updated to reflect this change.
- Finally, if the model ends with an ‘S’ or and ‘SP’, this indicates that the generator is a single phase unit.
Therefore, P35E3S indicates that the generator is powered by a Perkins engine, it’s rated at 35kVA standby at 50Hz, and its single phase. Please contact your regular contact at FGW Latin America & Caribbean if you require any additional information.
