Fischer Panda 15000i – 15kVA Variable Speed Supersilenced 60Hz Generator

Description

The Fischer Panda 15000i PMS is a variable-speed inverter marine diesel generator for 60Hz AC systems. In the 2 x 120/240V single-phase configuration, it delivers 12 kW nominal output, or 15 kVA, using iSeries Perfect Power inverter technology and a Kubota D902 three-cylinder diesel engine. The variable-speed engine operates from approximately 2,200 to 2,800 RPM according to electrical demand while the iControl system regulates output voltage and frequency.

The generator uses a water-cooled engine and alternator, is supplied in a GFK 3D sound-insulation capsule, and includes a 12V electric starter. Fischer Panda lists a 650 mm by 465 mm by 589 mm capsule, 160 kg generator weight plus a 16 kg inverter, and 54 dB(A) at 7 m. Confirm the precise voltage, phase, order code, and regional emissions configuration before purchase.

Key Specifications

• Variable-speed iSeries Perfect Power marine diesel generator for 60Hz AC systems.
• Provides 12 kW nominal output, equivalent to 15 kVA, in the 2 x 120/240V 60Hz configuration.
• Uses a Kubota D902 three-cylinder diesel engine with 898 cc displacement.
• Operates at approximately 2,200 to 2,800 RPM according to electrical demand.
• Uses iControl inverter-based voltage regulation with a listed voltage tolerance of plus or minus 3%.
• Provides 2 x 120/240V single-phase 60Hz output in the documented North American configuration.
• Uses a GFK 3D sound-insulation capsule with listed sound levels of 54 dB(A) at 7 m, 64 dB(A) at 5 m, and 68 dB(A) at 1 m.
• Capsule dimensions are approximately 650 mm by 465 mm by 589 mm; total installed mass is approximately 176 kg including inverter.

Electrical Compatibility

Confirm whether the vessel requires 2 x 120/240V split-phase, 230V single-phase, 400V three-phase, or another approved Fischer Panda 15000i configuration. Generator voltage, phase, frequency, output power, enclosure dimensions, and model order code can differ by version. The 60Hz 2 x 120/240V version is rated at 12 kW nominal output and 15 kVA, not 13.5 kW.

Generator selection should account for continuous load, simultaneous demand, power factor, and the largest motor-starting surge. Include air conditioning, watermakers, battery chargers, refrigeration compressors, pumps, galley equipment, and other inductive loads in the electrical-load calculation.

Installation Considerations

Install the generator and separate inverter module on a rigid vibration-isolated foundation with enough service access for filters, oil, coolant, raw-water components, exhaust, electrical terminals, and capsule panels. Provide diesel fuel feed and return, raw-water intake and strainer, wet exhaust, ventilation, 12V starting battery, AC distribution, grounding and bonding, circuit protection, and a shore-power transfer switch or interlock that prevents simultaneous shore and generator power connection. Installation and commissioning should be completed by a qualified marine generator technician.

Before Ordering

Confirm required continuous and surge load within 12 kW nominal output, exact 2 x 120/240V 60Hz or alternate configuration, phase requirement, available 650 mm by 465 mm by 589 mm capsule space plus inverter space, structural support for approximately 176 kg, fuel layout, raw-water intake, exhaust route, ventilation capacity, starting-battery circuit, AC distribution and transfer-switch design, grounding plan, service access, and qualified marine-generator installation requirements before purchase.
