Diesel generator set - YUCHAI BC-YC296D-60 (237 kW / 296 kVA)
Overview
The 296 kVA / 237 kW standby rating defines the BC-YC296D-60, a diesel generator set fitted with YCMK10TAA360-G21, in open configuration, with three-phase four-wire output at 50/60 Hz, 110/208 V – 277/480 V.
At this rating the set backs up a whole building or production line: process plants, industrial units and commercial centres where an outage is not an inconvenience but a production stop with a direct cost. BCP's Yuchai range spans 23 to 3750 kVA with Yuchai power, intended for standby duty and for extended running depending on how the fuel and cooling system is specified.
Typical applications
- Industrial units and process plants
- Logistics and distribution centres
- Hospitals and corporate buildings
- Food and beverage plants
- Infrastructure and civil works
Standby and prime ratings
The standby rating (296 kVA / 237 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-YC296D-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.
Is one set of this size better than two smaller ones?
It depends on criticality. A single set simplifies maintenance and footprint; two units give N+1 redundancy but double the capital cost and the service plan.
