AKSA AC550 Diesel Generator – 500 kVA Power for Demanding Applications
When the power goes out it can stop production, mess up business, damage equipment. Cut off important services. If your site uses a lot of electricity a small backup generator just won’t cut it. That’s where the AKSA AC550 Diesel Generator comes in. It’s built to deliver reliable three-phase power for heavy-duty needs.
The AC550 runs on a CUMMINS QSX15-G8 diesel engine, paired with a Mecc Alte ECO 40-3S/4 C alternator. It gives you 500 kVA of power and 444 kW of prime power. That’s more, than enough for commercial, industrial and infrastructure jobs. It’s made to handle the load when you need it most.

Why Choose the AKSA AC550?
High Power for Heavy Loads
The AC550 provides 500 kVA of alternator capacity. Its 500 kW standby rating supports electrical loads during utility power interruptions, while the 444 kW prime rating supports applications that require extended generator operation.
The correct rating should always match the site's load profile and operating requirements.
CUMMINS QSX15-G8 Engine
At the core of the generator sits the CUMMINS QSX15-G8, a 14.9-liter, 6-cylinder inline diesel engine. It uses turbocharging and charge-air cooling to support its high power output.
The engine also uses an XPI high-pressure common rail fuel system and an ECM governor system.
Mecc Alte Alternator
The Mecc Alte ECO 40-3S/4 C alternator provides 500 kVA at 400 V and 50 Hz. Its DER1 AVR provides voltage regulation of ±0.5%, while Class H insulation and IP23 protection support the generator's electrical design.
Practical Fuel Capacity
The AC550 includes an 850-liter fuel tank in both the open and canopy configurations. At prime operation, the supplied fuel consumption figures are:
101 L/hr at 100% load
80 L/hr at 75% load
56 L/hr at 50% load
Actual fuel consumption depends on load, operating conditions, and maintenance.
Monitoring and Installation Options
The DSE 7320 control panel provides generator monitoring and control functions. The AC550 is available as an open generator set or with an MS 80 canopy, allowing the configuration to match the installation environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the power capacity of the AKSA AC550?
The AKSA AC550 uses a 500 kVA alternator and supplies 500 kW of power and 444 kW of prime power. I find the numbers clear and easy to understand.
Q: Which engine does the AC550 use?
The AKSA AC550 uses the CUMMINS QSX15‑G8, a 14.9‑liter 6‑cylinder inline diesel engine. This engine is well known for its reliability.
Q: What alternator is fitted to the AKSA AC550?
The AKSA AC550 generator uses the Mecc Alte ECO 40‑3S/4 C alternator with a 500 kVA rating. The rating matches the power output of the machine.
Q: How large is the AC550 fuel tank?
The AKSA AC550 specification lists an 850‑liter fuel tank for both the canopy generator configurations. This size gives plenty of operating time.
The AKSA AC550 Diesel Generator combines a power capacity with a CUMMINS diesel engine, a Mecc Alte alternator, a DSE 7320 control panel and a large fuel tank. The 500 kVA alternator capacity of the AKSA AC550 makes it suitable for demanding industrial and infrastructure power requirements.
Before installation assess the site’s load starting loads, operating schedule, ventilation, fuel requirements and available installation space. Contact an AKSA supplier, for configuration, installation and service support.
