Pramac GPW 80 I diesel generator – BASIC PLUS 400V

The Pramac GPW 80 I BASIC PLUS 400V is a high-performance diesel generator designed for sites requiring a powerful three-phase power supply, a long runtime, and the ability to operate reliably for extended periods without unnecessary downtime. The model delivers 72.8 kW of maximum power and 66.4 kW of rated power, making it well-suited for industrial sites, farms, warehouse complexes, construction sites, technical bases, service centres and backup power for commercial infrastructure, where a significant load reserve is required.

In the BASIC PLUS version, this model is designed not just for basic power generation, but for more practical and well-equipped day-to-day operation. The engine and generator are mounted on a sturdy base, and the unit itself is enclosed in a galvanised, soundproof and weatherproof housing with a door. This design facilitates servicing, provides better protection for the equipment against external influences, and makes the generator suitable for operation not only in technical rooms but also in open or semi-open areas where both reliability and quick access to components are important.

The power unit of the model is an FPT Iveco F 36-ETV engine meeting Stage V standards. According to the technical documentation for this series, the engine has 4 cylinders, a displacement of 3600 cm³, operates at 1500 rpm and uses a turbocharging system with aftercooling. For a generator of this class, this is a very successful solution, as it provides good torque under load, more stable operating parameters and better suitability for intensive operation. Additionally, an electronic speed governor is included, which helps maintain operational stability more precisely under variable loads, whilst liquid cooling ensures a reliable temperature regime during long operating cycles. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The model is equipped with an electric start powered by a 12 V battery system, and the technical PDF for this series also specifies one 101 Ah battery. This configuration is well suited to a generator of this power class, as it ensures a reliable start-up and convenient operation in emergency scenarios, when power needs to be supplied to the site quickly following a mains failure. The BASIC PLUS uses an ACP digital panel, which simplifies generator monitoring and makes daily operation more comfortable for staff. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

The electrical components are also well suited to the model’s professional standard. The generator operates at 400/230 V, 50 Hz and is three-phase. It uses a Mecc Alte ECP32-2L4 C brushless alternator with insulation class H and protection rating IP23. The maximum current is 131 A, the rated current is 119 A, and the circuit breaker is rated at 125 A. This allows the generator to be used for heavy three-phase loads — from pumps, ventilation systems and compressors to technical equipment, production units and high-power lighting. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

One of the main advantages of this particular version is its excellent runtime. The BASIC PLUS for the GPW 80 I features a 350-litre fuel tank, and the runtime at 75% load is 25.4 hours. This is an impressive figure for a model of this power rating, allowing the generator to be used not only as a backup source but also as a fully-fledged operational solution for long shifts. According to the technical PDF, fuel consumption at 75% load is 13.78 l/h, and at 100% load — 18.43 l/h. For the Stage V engine, a 43-litre DEF tank is also specified, with DEF consumption of 0.730 l/h at 75% load and 0.977 l/h at 100% load. This is an important clarification for real-world operation, as it allows for advance planning not only of diesel consumption but also of AdBlue/DEF consumption. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

The practicality of the BASIC PLUS is also evident in its connection configuration. As shown in the slide, this version features three 400 V sockets — 16A, 32A and 63A — as well as two 230 V sockets — CEE 16A and Schuko. This allows simultaneous operation with different types of loads without the need for additional adapters. Additionally, all 400 V sockets are equipped with TYPE A 30mA RCD protection, and the package includes a 4-pole GCB2 generator circuit breaker, an MBS main battery switch, an oil extraction pump, hot part protection and a lifting eye. All this makes the model significantly more convenient for practical use on site.

The generator’s dimensions are 2757×1120×1846 mm, and the weight stated in the technical PDF is 1442 kg. The BASIC PLUS slide for this configuration specifies a weight of 1337 kg, so for the product card it makes sense to use the BASIC PLUS configuration values. The noise level on the slide is listed as 68 dB at 7 m, whilst the technical PDF for the canopy version of this series gives 67/96 dB. For the BASIC PLUS product card, it is advisable to use the 68/96 dB values, where 68 dB corresponds to the BASIC PLUS version slide, and 96 dB to the technical LwA value from the GPW80I/FS5 series PDF. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

ThePramac GPW 80 I BASIC PLUS 400V is a powerful and well-equipped diesel generator for professional use, combining a modern Stage V FPT engine, a large fuel tank, good runtime, a user-friendly digital panel and flexible load connection options. This is a strong option for those who need a reliable generator not for occasional use, but for genuine, daily operational use.
