MEP002A 5kW Military Diesel Generator with 90 Day / 100 Hour Parts Warranty

NOTE: All of our generators come with a 90 day / 100 hour parts warranty (whichever comes first).

NOTE: All generators ship by freight and require a custom quote. Please use our GMG contact form to inquire.

Please note this is a generic picture and no trailer is included. This is an excellent generator with a bomb-proof 2-cylinder Onan air-cooled engine. Hours may vary, but all units have been fully load-banked using a state of the art load-bank (not just plugged in heaters!).

• Continuous Power Rating:  5 Kilowatt (kW), 60hz at 80% power factor below 5,000 feet above sea level. (The US Military underrates their units by at least 25%.)
• Current Type:  Alternating Current (AC)
• Line to Line Voltage (Volts):  120 and 240 volts
• Amp Output:  41.6 amps (assumes 120 volt output and 5,000 watt rating. The US Military underrates their units by at least 25%.  If you assume 6,250 watts and 120 volt output, you arrive at 52 amps.
• Voltage:  120V (single phase, 2 wire), 120/240V (single phase, 3 wire), 120/208V (3-phase, 4 wire)
• Phases:  Single AND Three on-the-fly
• Fuel Type:  Diesel (Bio-diesel retrofits are possible assuming 1) the bio-diesel is preheated properly and 2) the bio-diesel is of high quality and purity)
• # of Cylinders:  2

• Engine Manufacturer:  Onan (now Cummins Onan – a world leader in diesel engine technology)
• Engine Type:  Four Cycle
• Displacement:  70 cubic inches (1147 cc.)
• Compression Ratio:  19:1
• Horsepower:  8.9 @ 1800 RPM (0-5000 ft above sea level)
• Governor:  Internal flyball; external adjustment
• Cooling Method:  Air-Cooled (i.e. not liquid-cooled; no water pump, radiator or coolant needed which radically reduces maintenance costs)
• Excitor Type:  Self-Excited
