500 kVA generator · UAE, KSA & Iraq
A 500 kVA generator delivers about 400 kW at 0.8 power factor — the right size for hotels, malls, hospitals, factories, towers and large construction projects. We supply it with Cummins, Perkins, Volvo Penta or Baudouin engines from our Sharjah warehouse, with a matched ATS panel and a 1-year warranty.

Approximate values at 0.8 pf and 400 V; final figures are confirmed for the chosen engine model in your quotation.
A 500 kVA set typically powers hotels, malls, hospitals, factories, towers and large construction projects.
Consider two synchronised sets instead of one large set for redundancy and better fuel use at part load.

1-year warranty
Cummins-engined generator sets known for strong load acceptance — a common choice for construction sites, commercial buildings and rental fleets in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
1-year warranty
Volvo Penta TAD-series gensets offering excellent fuel economy and clean emissions for hotels, commercial towers and marine-adjacent facilities.
1-year warranty
Value-engineered generator sets built on proven Chinese engine platforms — the budget-conscious option for construction, agriculture and backup power where total cost of ownership comes first.
500 kVA generator
About 400 kW of running load at 0.8 power factor. Keep 20–25 % headroom for motor starting and Gulf heat — in practice roughly 320 kW continuous, for example around 133 split AC units of 2 tons, or the equivalent mix of lighting, pumps and equipment.
Roughly 56 L/h at 50 % load, 78 L/h at 75 % and 108 L/h at full load. Exact figures depend on the engine model; we include the manufacturer's fuel curve with every quotation.
Full-load current at 400 V three-phase is about 722 A, so a 800 A ATS is the usual match — or the main incoming breaker rating if that is larger. A 4-pole ATS is recommended where the generator neutral is separately earthed.
It depends on the engine brand, enclosure, controller and whether you need an ATS and fuel tank. Send us the site and delivery city on WhatsApp and we reply the same working day with 2–3 engine options side by side.
Standby (500 kVA) is for emergency backup with limited annual hours. If the set is your main power — a construction site or an area with daily outages — size on the prime rating (about 455 kVA for this set) or choose the next size up.
