ASKA AP165 165 KVA Diesel Generator for Reliable Power Backup

A reliable generator matters when the regular power supply cannot be counted on. For a factory, office, commercial building, or other facility, the generator needs to handle the required electrical load without creating unnecessary complications during operation.

The ASKA AP165 165 KVA Aksa Diesel Generator is built around a PERKINS 1106A-70TAG2 diesel engine and a Mecc Alte ECP 34-1L/4 C alternator. The set is controlled through a DSE 6120 control panel, giving the operator access to the main operating information of the generator.

The AP165 has a 165 kVA standby rating and a 150 kVA prime rating. It works at 400/231 V, 50 Hz, 3 phase, with a rated power factor of 0.8. These specifications make the unit suitable for installations where dependable backup or regular prime power is required.

Engine and Generator Setup

The engine is one of the main parts to consider when choosing a diesel generator. The ASKA AP165 uses the PERKINS 1106A-70TAG2, a six-cylinder inline engine with a 7.01-liter displacement. It operates at 1500 RPM and uses direct fuel injection.

The engine is also turbocharged and charge air cooled. Its cooling system is water based, which is commonly used for generator sets in this power range. The supplied engine configuration includes a mechanical governor, 12 Vdc operating system, 85 Ah battery and 65 A charge alternator.

On the generator side, the AP165 uses a Mecc Alte ECP 34-1L/4 C alternator. It is a four-pole, brushless alternator with a DSR AVR. The alternator has Class H insulation, IP23 protection and voltage regulation of ±1%.

This combination gives the generator a straightforward setup: a well-known diesel engine, a dedicated alternator and a control system designed for generator operation.

Standby and Prime Power

The AP165 is rated differently for standby and prime operation.

Its standby rating is 165 kVA / 132 kW, while the prime rating is 150 kVA / 120 kW.

Standby power is intended for situations where the generator operates during interruptions of the utility supply. Prime power is used when the generator may need to carry a varying electrical load for extended periods.

Choosing between these ratings should depend on the actual load profile of the site. Motors, pumps, compressors and other equipment with higher starting requirements should also be considered before finalizing the generator size.

DSE 6120 Control Panel

The DSE 6120 control panel is another important part of the AP165 package. It allows the operator to monitor the generator and manage its operating functions from the control panel.

For installations where the generator needs regular monitoring, having a dedicated controller makes day-to-day operation more convenient. The exact control and protection functions available should be checked against the supplied configuration before installation.

Open and Canopy Options

The ASKA AP165 is available in an open-type configuration as well as with an AK 49 canopy.

The open version has a dry weight of approximately 1380 kg and measures 2300 × 1080 × 1667 mm. The canopy version weighs approximately 1975 kg and measures 3402 × 1147 × 2007 mm.

The enclosed canopy can be useful when the generator needs additional protection as part of the installation setup. Available space, ventilation, access for maintenance and site conditions should be checked before installation.
