The Welling & Crossley ED8.8KYE 8.8kVA Single Phase Standby Diesel Generator is a compact, canopy-enclosed backup power solution designed for dependable performance when mains power is unavailable. Powered by a proven Kubota D1105 diesel engine and paired with a Crossley SLG series single bearing, 4-pole brushless alternator, this generating set is built for standby applications where reliability, low-speed operation, and long service life are important.
As a fully integrated Welling & Crossley power generation system, the ED8.8KYE comes complete with a remote start/stop control system, 90 litre diesel fuel tank, auto-start control module, and weather protective acoustic canopy. This makes it a practical choice for homes, rural properties, farms, workshops, small commercial sites, and essential equipment backup where single phase standby power is required.
The acoustic canopy helps protect the generator from the elements while reducing operating noise to approximately 70 dB(A) at 1 metre, or 63 dB(A) at 7 metres. The unit is also mounted on a heavy duty fabricated steel base frame, with anti-vibration pads fitted between the engine, alternator, and frame to support smoother operation and reduce vibration transfer.
For safer on-site diesel storage, the ED8.8KYE includes an AS 1940-2004 compliant bunded fuel tank with secondary containment. The control system supports local or remote starting, generator/load monitoring, overload protection, accumulated power monitoring, 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, Crossley brushless alternator, acoustic canopy, bunded tank, and remote start capability, the ED8.8KYE is well suited to customers needing a reliable single phase diesel standby generator for backup power across residential, rural, and light commercial environments.
