Compare exact outputs

Options around 400 kVA.

A rounded PPG model class is not a guaranteed duty rating. The tables below identify the actual documented output for each reference configuration.

Larger site and facility loads

Specify 400 kVA around your load.

For larger commercial sites and industrial equipment, assess the largest load step, motor starting, nonlinear loads and the operating duty. The steady-state kVA total alone does not settle the generator size.

At a power factor of 0.8, 400 kVA corresponds to 320 kW mathematically. That conversion is not a substitute for the manufacturer’s duty rating or a starting-load assessment.

Discuss your load schedule
Does a 400 kVA model deliver 400 kVA continuously?

The model class alone does not establish continuous capability. Check prime and standby ratings and the manufacturer’s load-profile conditions. Confirm the intended run hours and average load when requesting a quotation.

Can I get a canopied 400 kVA generator?

Compare the canopied entries above, then confirm enclosure dimensions, sound requirements and final duty rating with PPG.

Which engine brands are available at this output?

The comparison above includes Baudouin, Cummins, Perkins, Scania. Some are close alternatives rather than an exact match; use the electrical rating table to compare them.
