Kawama Gasoline Generator, 17 kW, Made in Thailand - KWM17KW

Gasoline Generator 17 kW

Delivering reliable standby power for demanding electrical loads requires a highly stable mechanical and electrical foundation. The Kawama KWM17KW PLUS is a heavy-duty gasoline generator manufactured in Thailand, engineered to meet stringent high-demand requirements. It utilizes a precision-engineered V-Twin overhead valve (OHV) engine that operates continuously at 3,600 RPM. This robust mechanical configuration enables the unit to generate an exceptional 16 kW (16,000 W) of rated continuous power and effectively handle sudden inductive load spikes with a 17 kW (17,000 W) maximum surge capacity. Operating on a single-phase 220V (60 Hz) output, the generator continuously pushes 72.8 Amperes of current, making it highly capable of sustaining large inductive machinery, and backup facility grids.

Maintaining continuous operation in harsh industrial environments dictates a resilient structural design, the generator is securely housed within a heavy-gauge tubular steel roll-cage that protects the internal engine and alternator components from external physical impacts. To manage extended operational cycles, the unit is equipped with a high-capacity 40-liter top-mounted gasoline tank and a highly efficient forced air-cooling mechanism. Operator mobility is actively facilitated by a heavy-duty wheel kit paired with dual padded steering handles, allowing the large frame to be navigated effectively across uneven terrain. Furthermore, the electric start control panel integrates critical safety systems, including an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for output stability and individual thermal flip-switch circuit breakers that instantly cut off the electrical current if it exceeds safe operational limits.
