18kVA, Single Phase, Standby Diesel Generator with Kubota Engine in Canopy

The Welling & Crossley ED18KYE 18kVA Single Phase Standby Diesel Generator is a dependable diesel backup power solution designed for applications that require reliable single phase power when mains supply is unavailable. Powered by a proven Kubota D1803-M diesel engine and matched with a Crossley SLG series single bearing, 4-pole brushless alternator, this generator is built to deliver consistent standby performance across residential, rural, commercial, workshop, and light industrial environments.

Supplied as a fully integrated Welling & Crossley power generation system, the ED18KYE includes a remote start/stop control system, 90 litre diesel fuel tank, auto-start control module, and weather protective acoustic canopy. This makes it well suited to customers needing a practical standby generator for essential electrical loads, pumps, sheds, workshops, rural properties, and small business backup power.

The acoustic canopy helps protect the generating set from the elements while reducing operating noise to approximately 73 dB(A) at 1 metre, or 65 dB(A) at 7 metres. The complete generator is mounted on a heavy duty fabricated steel base frame, with anti-vibration pads fitted between the engine, alternator, and base frame to help isolate vibration and support smoother operation.

For safer diesel storage on site, the ED18KYE includes a fully bunded fuel tank compliant with AS 1940-2004, providing secondary containment designed to retain and recover spillage if required. A trickle charge battery charger is also fitted to help ensure the generator is ready to start when needed.

The standard auto-start control module supports local or remote starting and provides key monitoring and protection functions, including alternator frequency and speed sensing, generator/load power monitoring, accumulated power monitoring, generator overload protection, fuel and start outputs, engine speed protection, run-time scheduling, battery voltage monitoring, and static battery charging. It can also be configured to operate with an Automatic Transfer Switch for automatic standby power applications.

With its Kubota diesel engine, 18kVA standby rating, Crossley brushless alternator, acoustic canopy, 90L bunded tank, and remote start capability, the ED18KYE is a strong choice for customers needing reliable single phase diesel standby power in a compact, 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.
