The Welling & Crossley ED170CuYE/3-OPEN 170kVA Three Phase Standby Diesel Generator is a high-capacity open-frame diesel generator designed for applications that require dependable 415V three phase backup power without an acoustic canopy. Powered by a Cummins 6BTAA5.9G12 turbocharged diesel engine and paired with a Crossley SLG Series single bearing, 4-pole brushless alternator, this generator is built for strong standby performance across commercial, rural, industrial, infrastructure, and essential service applications.
The open-frame configuration provides practical access for installation, inspection, servicing, and integration into protected generator rooms, plant areas, custom enclosures, or site-specific installations. The Crossley alternator uses a brushless, rotating field design and is self-excited, with power derived from the main output windings through an Automatic Voltage Regulator to support stable output.
As a fully integrated Welling & Crossley generating set, the ED170CuYE/3-OPEN is stringently tested to support performance, reliability, and versatility in standby applications. It includes a 300 litre diesel fuel tank, remote or local starting, push start/stop button, output circuit breaker, emergency stop button, static battery charger, and digital monitoring for oil pressure, engine temperature, frequency, volts, and amps.
The complete generating set is mounted on a heavy duty fabricated steel base frame, with anti-vibration pads fitted between the engine, alternator, and frame to help isolate vibration and support smoother operation. The unit also includes a fully bunded fuel tank compliant with AS 1940-2004, providing secondary containment for safer on-site diesel storage.
The control system can be configured to operate with an Automatic Transfer Switch, making this generator suitable for automatic standby power applications. With its Cummins diesel engine, 170kVA standby rating, 415V three phase output, open-frame build, Crossley brushless alternator, and robust base-frame design, the ED170CuYE/3-OPEN is a strong choice for customers needing dependable three phase diesel standby power in a practical, service-accessible generator package.
With its Kubota diesel engine, 18kVA standby rating, 415V three phase output, 400L bunded tank, Crossley brushless alternator, acoustic canopy, and remote start capability, the ED18KYE/3-400 is a strong choice for customers needing reliable three phase diesel standby power with extended fuel capacity in a professionally built generator package.
With its Kubota diesel engine, 14.5kVA standby rating, 415V three phase output, 400L bunded tank, acoustic canopy, Crossley brushless alternator, and remote start capability, the ED14.5KYE/3-400 is a strong choice for customers needing reliable three phase diesel standby power with extended fuel capacity in a professionally built generator package.
