The Welling & Crossley ED14.5KYE-400-LB 14.5kVA Single Phase Standby Diesel Generator is a complete diesel backup power solution designed for customers who need reliable single phase standby power, extended fuel capacity, and added protection against light-load running. Powered by a proven Kubota D1703-E2BG diesel engine and matched with a Crossley SLG series single bearing, 4-pole brushless alternator, this generator is built for dependable performance across residential, rural, commercial, workshop, and light industrial applications.
This model includes a large 400 litre bunded diesel fuel tank and an integrated load bank, making it especially practical for sites where the generator may operate for extended periods or where electrical load can vary. The load bank automatically applies artificial load when site demand is light, helping reduce the likelihood of engine glazing and supporting optimal engine performance.
Supplied as a fully integrated Welling & Crossley power generation system, the ED14.5KYE-400-LB comes complete with a remote start/stop control system, auto-start control module, weather protective acoustic canopy, and heavy duty fabricated steel base frame. The acoustic canopy helps protect the generator from the elements while reducing operating noise to approximately 73 dB(A) at 1 metre, or 65 dB(A) at 7 metres.
For safer diesel storage on site, the generator includes a fully bunded fuel tank compliant with AS 1940-2004, providing secondary containment designed to retain and recover spillage if required. Anti-vibration pads are fitted between the engine, alternator, and base frame to help isolate vibration and support smoother operation.
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, 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, 14.5kVA standby rating, 400L bunded tank, acoustic canopy, integrated load bank, and remote start capability, the ED14.5KYE-400-LB is a strong choice for customers needing reliable single phase diesel standby power with extended fuel capacity and added protection for light-load operation.
