The machine is housed in a container measuring 6.06 x 2.44 x 2.59 meters, has a tank capacity of 1,400 liters, and produces 71 dB(A). - ### Powerful and reliable power supply With an output of 500 kVA, this generator delivers stable energy for demanding offshore applications, including long-term and critical operations. - ### Large fuel tank for extended runtime Thanks to its 1,400-litre internal tank, the generator can operate for long periods without refuelling, ideal for offshore situations where continuity is essential. - ### Robustly Built for Offshore Conditions With a total weight of 13,000–14,000 kg, robust container construction, and IMO Tier II classification, this generator is engineered for heavy-duty, professional offshore use. ## Technical specifications Power 500 kVA The power of a generator is expressed in kVA. To calculate the required power, you can use the following guidelines: a. 100 kVA = 80 kW = 144 amps (cos-phi 0.8). b. For lighting/heating, calculate 20% more (cos-phi 1). c. An electric motor can (depending on type and application) demand up to 8x its power when starting under load. A generator can, very briefly, deliver 2x its nominal power. Frequency 50 Hz Emission Standard IMO Tier II IMO Tier II is an international emission standard for ship engines and offshore generators, which reduces nitrogen oxide emissions and thus contributes to cleaner maritime operations. Connection(s) (output) ? Dimensions (L x W x H) 6.06 x 2.44 x 2.59 m Dimensions stand for length x width x height. Weight (empty) 13,000 kg This is the weight without fuel. Weight (full) 14,000 kg This is the weight with fuel. Fuel tank capacity 1,400 l The tank capacity indicates how much fuel the internal or external tank of a generator has available. The diesel oil consumption is approximately 20 liters per 100 kVA consumed, i.e., a 50 kVA generator that is half-loaded uses about 5 liters per hour. Fuel consumption 99 L/h at 99% output Fuel HVO, GTL, Biodiesel Generators run on fuel. Various types of fuels are possible, such as standard diesel, GTL synthetic diesel, HVO100 biofuel, biogas, and methanol. Noise level (at 7 m) 71 dB(A) The noise level is expressed in dB(A), which is a weighted scale corresponding to human hearing. The level is measured at a distance of 7 meters. Note GBCS and DNV certifications, complies with NORSOK standards ## Frequently rented together [![Distribution box 6x 32 A, 6x 230 V - front](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL3Byb2R1Y3QvRGlzdHJpYnV0aW9uLWJveC02eC0zMi1BLTZ4LTIzMC1WLWZyb250LmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7ImpwZWciOnsicXVhbGl0eSI6ODIsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXplU2NhbnMiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjM3NSwiaGVpZ2h0IjoyNTAsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==) Distribution boxes](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/rental/distribution/distribution-boxes/ "Distribution boxes")[![Assortment of Bredenoord cables](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL3Byb2R1Y3QvQXNzb3J0bWVudC1vZi1CcmVkZW5vb3JkLWNhYmxlcy5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgyLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozNzUsImhlaWdodCI6MjUwLCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0=) Cables](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/rental/distribution/cables/ "Cables") ## The rental process 01 ### Enquiry You can submit an enquiry via the form or by phone, outlining your power requirements. 02 ### Advice & quotation Our experts provide tailored advice that suits your situation, including a quotation. 03 ### Delivery Using our own transport fleet, we deliver the power solution to your location. 04 ### Monitoring & 24/7 service The power solution is monitored from our Fleet Operation Center.

Think of operations on temporary installations, maintenance projects, and other environments where a robust machine is required. Thanks to the container dimensions of 6.06 x 2.44 x 2.59 meters, the installation can be positioned clearly within the available space. With a noise level of 71 dB(A) at 7 meters, the acoustic aspect remains manageable on location. The tank capacity of 1,400 liters supports long-term deployment. Thus, this 500 kVA and 50 Hz offshore generator is a practical choice for professional temporary power under harsh conditions. ## Deploy More Sustainably This installation can also be included in a more sustainable power solution. The generator can run on GTL synthetic diesel or HVO100 biofuel, depending on your preference and deployment on location. Bredenoord also has generators available in Stage V version. This drastically reduces nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. A hybrid setup is also possible with a Battery Box. In such a solution, the battery provides a large portion of the power and the machine only kicks in when necessary. A hybrid solution in combination with a Battery Box ensures that the engine only runs and as efficiently as possible when needed. This reduces emissions and works significantly quieter. ![Bredenoord offshore generator](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL3Byb2R1Y3Qvb2xkX3NpdGUvQnJlZGVub29yZC1vZmZzaG9yZV9nZW5lcmF0b3IuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5IjoxMDAsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjpmYWxzZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo5NiwiaGVpZ2h0Ijo2NCwiZml0IjoiaW5zaWRlIn19fQ==)Offshore Generator (50 Hz) 500 kVA [ Request a quote ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/rental/generators/offshore-generator-50-hz-500-kva/quote/) Get in touch Need temporary power fast?
