Detroit Diesel was founded as a division of General Motors in 1938 and is currently a subsidiary of Daimler Chrysler AG. Known for its semi-truck and heavy equipment diesel engines, its industrial generator sets have a well-earned reputation for quality and reliability.
The Detroit Diesel 12v71T generator set provides up to 440 kW of standby power. A broad-range exciter ensures stability for any voltage within its entire output range. The optimized pitch of stator windings produces low deviation factors within 1/2 to 1/3 of NEMA limits, and rotors are dynamically balanced. Its compact design, low weight, and minimum length generates maximum power output with minimal torsional vibration.
