The Welling & Crossley ED290DSE/3C 290kVA Three Phase Diesel Standby Generator is a high-capacity power solution designed for demanding applications that require dependable 415V three phase backup power. Powered by a Hyundai DP086LA turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine and matched with a Crossley SLG Series single bearing, 4-pole brushless alternator, this generator is built to deliver strong standby performance across commercial, industrial, rural infrastructure, production, and essential service applications.
Supplied as a fully integrated Welling & Crossley power generation system, the ED290DSE/3C includes a remote start/stop control system, 400 litre diesel fuel tank, weather protective acoustic canopy, and standard control starting system. This makes it well suited to larger sites needing reliable standby power for machinery, pumps, commercial facilities, industrial equipment, infrastructure, and critical electrical loads.
The complete generating set 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. The weather protective acoustic canopy helps protect the generator from the elements and reduces operating noise to approximately 80 dB(A) at 1 metre, or 73 dB(A) at 7 metres.
For safer diesel storage, the ED290DSE/3C 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, with both 12V and 24V charging capability.
The standard control system supports remote or local starting with push-button start/stop and includes digital indicators for oil pressure, engine temperature, frequency, volts, and amps. Protection features include shutdown for low oil pressure and high temperature, an emergency stop button, output circuit breaker, and static battery charger. It can also be configured to operate with an Automatic Transfer Switch for automatic standby power applications.
With its Hyundai diesel engine, 290kVA standby rating, 415V three phase output, Crossley brushless alternator, bunded 400L fuel tank, acoustic canopy, and remote start capability, the ED290DSE/3C is a strong choice for customers needing reliable three phase diesel standby power in a heavy-duty generator package.
