Excel Power XL-DB-72 65kVA Diesel Generator Baudouin

In the fast-paced world of commercial operations and industrial manufacturing, energy is more than just a utility, it is the lifeblood of your business. When the grid falters, the Excel Power XL-DB-72 65kVA Diesel Generator steps in as your ultimate safeguard. Expertly engineered for high-demand environments, this unit is a cornerstone of the Excel Power Standby Range, offering a sophisticated blend of raw power and refined engineering.

Choosing a 65kVA diesel generator is a strategic decision for any facility manager or business owner. It represents a significant investment in operational continuity. Whether you are running a data centre that cannot afford a millisecond of downtime, a cold storage facility protecting perishable stock, or a factory with heavy machinery, the XL-DB-72 provides the robust standby power required to keep your doors open and your systems humming.

As a high-capacity three phase generator, the XL-DB-72 is designed to handle the complex electrical loads found in modern industrial settings. It doesn’t just provide electricity; it provides the confidence that your business is immune to the unpredictability of the national grid. Having a dedicated backup generator isn’t just a safety measure; it’s a competitive advantage.

Prime Power 65kVA/52kW Standby Power 72kVA/57kW Three Phase (400V – 50Hz)

The “72” in the XL-DB-72 model name signifies its impressive standby capacity. Understanding the difference between Prime and Standby ratings is crucial for selecting the right 65kVA diesel generator:

• Prime Power (65kVA / 52kW)*: This is the power available for continuous use under varying loads.
• Standby Power (72kVA / 57kW): This is the maximum power the unit can deliver during a utility power outage. It is the “emergency reserve” that kicks in when you need it most.

Running on a three phase generator configuration (400V – 50Hz), this unit provides the balanced power necessary for large-scale industrial motors and HVAC systems. Unlike single-phase units that may struggle with high-torque startups, the XL-DB-72 delivers a steady, unwavering flow of energy, making it a superior diesel generator for professional applications.

Robust Baudouin Water Cooled 1500RPM Engine Coupled to High-Quality Depco Alternator

At the core of the XL-DB-72 lies a masterclass in mechanical engineering. Excel Power has integrated the world-renowned Baudouin engine into this unit. Baudouin has spent over a century perfecting the art of the internal combustion engine, with a heritage rooted in the demanding maritime industry. This 1500RPM, water-cooled engine is designed for longevity. By operating at a lower rotational speed than smaller, portable units, this diesel generator experiences less friction and heat, resulting in a drastically extended service life.

This powerhouse is perfectly mated to a high-quality Depco alternator. The alternator is the component responsible for converting the engine’s mechanical energy into clean, usable electricity. By pairing a Baudouin engine with a Depco alternator, the XL-DB-72 achieves a level of synergy that ensures maximum efficiency. When you purchase this diesel fuel generator, you are investing in a powertrain built to perform under pressure, day or night.

Durable Engineering for Demanding Applications

The XL-DB-72 is not a “fair weather” machine. It is designed with “Durable Engineering” at its very foundation. The internal components are protected by a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant chassis and outer shell, capable of withstanding the rigours of construction sites, agricultural environments, and harsh industrial yards.

In an industrial context, a diesel generator is often subjected to dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Excel Power has accounted for this by using high-grade materials and reinforced housing. This unit is built to remain stationary for long periods, yet it is engineered to be ready for an immediate start-up. For those seeking a backup generator that can survive the toughest conditions, the XL-DB-72 is the industry standard.

Precision Voltage Regulation with ±1% Stability

In the modern era, industrial power isn’t just about “heavy lifting”; it’s about precision. Many commercial facilities house sensitive electronic equipment, from PLC controllers and servers to delicate medical or lab instruments. Standard power supplies can suffer from harmonic distortion or voltage spikes, which can be catastrophic.

The XL-DB-72 features an advanced Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) that maintains a precision stability of ±1%. This ensures that the energy produced by this diesel fuel generator is “clean” and consistent. Whether you are using it as a primary standby power source or a secondary backup, you can rest assured that your high-value electronic assets are protected.

Deepsea Control Panel: Intelligence Meets Power

The “brain” of the XL-DB-72 is the world-renowned Deepsea (DSE) control panel. This interface provides the user with an unprecedented level of control and diagnostic data. Through the DSE panel, you can monitor engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel levels, and load distribution.

More importantly, the Deepsea controller allows the unit to function as a fully automated three phase generator. When paired with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), the XL-DB-72 can detect a mains failure, start itself, and transfer the building’s load in a matter of seconds. This level of automation is essential for any diesel generator used in a commercial enterprise where manual intervention during a blackout is not feasible.

Acoustic Canopy – Limits Sound to 70 dB(A) @ 7m

Historically, a 65kVA diesel generator was a noisy piece of equipment. However, the XL-DB-72 changes the narrative with its high-performance acoustic canopy. By utilising specialised sound-dampening insulation and an intelligent internal airflow design, Excel Power has managed to limit the sound output to just 70 dB(A) at a distance of 7 metres.

This makes the XL-DB-72 an ideal choice for noise-sensitive settings, such as hospitals, schools, or residential-adjacent commercial zones. You get the immense power of a 65kVA diesel generator without the deafening roar, allowing your business to remain operational without disturbing the surrounding environment. This canopy also acts as a primary line of defence for the backup generator against environmental wear.

110L Fuel Tank and Expert Support

To ensure long-term autonomy, the XL-DB-72 is equipped with an integrated 110-litre fuel tank. Given the efficiency of the Baudouin engine, this tank allows for extended run times, ensuring that your facility stays powered even during prolonged grid failures. This efficiency makes it a cost-effective diesel fuel generator for long-term ownership.

Finally, your investment is protected by a 12-month or 1000-hour warranty, covering both parts and labour. This is not just a manufacturer’s promise; it is backed by Excel Power’s rigorous engineering standards and the localised expertise of Hampshire Generators. With Hampshire Generators’ expert servicing options, you have access to professional maintenance, ensuring your standby power investment remains in peak condition for its entire lifecycle.
