Grupel GRGR70 70kVA Diesel Generator

Part of the robust Grupel Industrial Range, the Grupel GRGR70 70kVA 3-Phase Diesel Generator is engineered to deliver unwavering reliability for businesses that demand standby power during grid failures or prime power in off-grid environments. Built entirely with Grupel’s own brand engine and alternator, this 70kVA diesel generator combines industrial-strength performance, advanced noise suppression, and extended runtime capabilities making it the ultimate choice for factories, data centres, hospitals, and large-scale commercial operations.

Technical Specifications & Power Output

• Standby Power: 69kVA / 55kW
• Prime Power: 63kVA / 50kW
• Engine Speed: 1500 RPM (optimized for 50Hz output)
• Phase Configuration: 3-Phase (supports heavy machinery and complex power grids)
• Alternator: Grupel 224GB63 (Class H insulation, brushless design)
• Controller: Grupel G545 (advanced monitoring with user-friendly interface)
• Fuel Consumption: ~13L/hour at 75% prime load

Designed for rigorous industrial use, the Grupel GRGR70 70kVA diesel generator operates at 1500 RPM to ensure fuel efficiency, reduced engine wear, and stable voltage regulation (±1%). Its 3-phase output guarantees balanced power distribution for high-demand equipment like industrial motors, CNC machines, and HVAC systems.

Standby vs. Prime Power: Engineered for Flexibility

The Grupel 70kVA genset offers unmatched versatility with dual power ratings:

• Standby Power (69kVA/55kW): Ideal for emergency backup in critical facilities such as hospitals, data centres, or manufacturing plants, where downtime is not an option.
• Prime Power (63kVA/50kW): Built for continuous operation in remote sites like mining operations, oil rigs, or construction projects where grid power is unavailable.

Competitive Comparison:

• Smaller Units (50–60kVA): Suitable for light industrial use but lack the capacity to handle large machinery or multi-system loads.
• Larger Units (80–100kVA): Offer higher output but consume significantly more fuel and require greater space, making them less practical for mid-sized operations.
• GRGR70 70kVA: Strikes the perfect balance, delivering robust power without compromising efficiency or footprint.

Close-Fitting Acoustic Canopy: Quiet Power at 71 dB(A)

Despite its industrial power, the Grupel GRGR70 70kVA 3-Phase diesel generator operates at just 71 dB(A) at 7 meters thanks to its precision-engineered acoustic canopy. This makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like urban construction sites, hospitals, or event venues. Competing models in this class often exceed 75 dB(A), highlighting Grupel’s commitment to reducing noise pollution without sacrificing performance.

200-Litre Bunded Fuel Tank: Extended Runtime & Safety

The GRGR70’s 200-litre bunded fuel tank provides up to 15.3 hours of continuous operation at 75% prime load (50kW), minimising interruptions for refueling. The bunded design includes a secondary spill containment layer, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and preventing leaks. Compared to smaller 55kVA generators (which may need refueling every about 6 hours) or larger 85kVA+ units (with higher fuel consumption), this 70kVA genset optimizes runtime for cost-effective, long-term use.

Standby-Ready Features: Always Prepared

Pre-installed engine coolant heaters and battery chargers ensure the Gurpel GRGR70 70kVA generator is primed for instant activation, even in sub-zero temperatures. The coolant heater maintains optimal engine readiness, while the battery charger guarantees reliable starts features often sold as expensive add-ons by competitors. This plug-and-play reliability is critical for facilities like emergency response centres or semiconductor factories, where delays can result in significant financial or safety risks.

Grupel 224GB63 Alternator & G545 Controller: Built to Last

• Grupel 224GB63 Alternator: Featuring Class H insulation (resistant to temperatures up to 180°C) and a brushless design, this alternator ensures minimal maintenance, high efficiency, and stable power output under extreme loads.
• Grupel G545 Controller: Provides real-time diagnostics for fuel levels, battery status, and engine health, with automatic shutdown for critical faults like overheating or low oil pressure.

These components outperform generic alternatives, which often lack the durability and precision required for industrial applications.

2-Year/2000-Hour Warranty: Fully Supported in the UK

Backed by a comprehensive 2-year or 2000-hour warranty (whichever comes first), the GRGR70 is fully supported by Hampshire Generators, Grupel’s UK partner. This includes nationwide servicing, technical assistance, and access to genuine parts—advantages that imported or lesser-known brands cannot match.

Hampshire Generators can also maintain your generator with a regular cost-effective service plan or one-off visit. Simply call 01329 722390 or inquire via contact us page for more information.

Why Choose a 70kVA Diesel Generator?

• Optimal Power-to-Size Ratio: Delivers 20–25% more power than 55kVA models while maintaining a compact footprint.
• 3-Phase Efficiency: Essential for powering industrial equipment, large commercial buildings, or multi-motor setups.
• Fuel Economy: Consumes ~13L/hour at 75% load, compared to 16–18L/hour for 85kVA+ units, reducing operational costs.

Competitive Comparison: 70kVA vs. Other Sizes

• 55kVA Generators: Ideal for smaller factories but struggle with high-demand machinery.
• 85kVA Generators: Higher output but require more space, fuel, and infrastructure investment.
• GRGR70 70kVA: Offers the best of both worlds—ample power for industrial needs without excessive running costs.
