The 415GM delivers a maximum net engine power output of 13.5kWm at 1,500rpm and 16.2kWm at 1,800rpm while the continuous net engine power at 1,500rpm is 12.3kWm and at 1,800rpm is 14.7kWm. This equates to a maximum typical generator output of 15.2kVa at 1,500rpm and 18.2kVa at 1,800rpm.

Continuous outputs are 13.5kVa and 16.5kVa for the 1,500rpm and 1,800rpm variants respectively.

The 415GM is based on the Perkins 400 Series engine and incorporates a number of advanced design features, including a purpose designed cooling pack that ensures optimum power density and results in cheaper and easier installation and transportation.

There is an improved coolant pump impeller and a bigger sump for increased oil capacity.

The compact, lightweight unit also features larger bore high pressure pipes and optimised injectors that ensure low emissions. The combustion chamber design further reduces smoke, vibration and noise.
