Overview
The BC-YC23D-60 is a diesel generator set rated 23 kVA / 18 kW in standby duty, fitted with an YCV2.5N35-G21/25kW engine and open configuration. It delivers 50/60 Hz with three-phase four-wire output, 110/208 V – 277/480 V.
This rating sits at the entry end of the range: sites with a moderate load but no tolerance for long outages — shops, workshops, clinics and small plants. The set needs little floor space and can sit in a technical room or outdoors under cover. BCP's range spans 0 to 313 kVA with diesel power, intended for standby duty and for extended running depending on how the fuel and cooling system is specified.
Typical applications
- Shops, supermarkets and pharmacies
- Workshops and fuel stations
- Clinics, laboratories and medical offices
- Offices and rental units
- Pumping and irrigation systems
Standby and prime ratings
The standby rating (23 kVA / 18 kW) is what the set delivers during a grid outage, for a limited number of hours a year and without sustained overload. The prime rating (PRP) allows continuous duty with varying load. Sizing starts from the real load in kW, corrected by power factor, with headroom left for motor starting.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between standby and prime?
Standby is the power available in an emergency, limited to a set number of hours a year; prime is what the set can sustain continuously with varying load. A set sized for standby should not be used as prime generation without re-checking the duty.
What voltage and connection does the BC-YC23D-60 deliver?
It is offered at 110/208 V – 277/480 V, three-phase four-wire, at 50/60 Hz. Final nameplate voltage is fixed at order stage according to the site network and the transfer arrangement.
Can it be installed indoors?
Yes, provided the room has an air inlet, an extractor of matching size and exhaust routed outside. Without that ventilation the set overheats and the operating warranty is void.
