Heavy-Duty 180kW Power – Engineered for 240V Applications

When the grid goes down and your operations can’t afford a moment of downtime, you need a generator that delivers serious power—and delivers it in the configuration your facility demands. The EMEAN EM-W248 provides a solid 180kW (225kVA) of prime power, backed by a 216kW WEICHAI WP10D238E200 turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. With a wide voltage range from 110V to 660V—including standard 240V configurations—this is a 240volt generator that works seamlessly with North American electrical systems. Whether you’re protecting a manufacturing plant, a data center, or a commercial facility, this generator keeps your 240V equipment running when you need it most.

The EM-W248 is more than just another 240volt generator—it is a purpose-built power system engineered to withstand the demands of industrial and commercial environments. With a standby rating of 198kW (248kVA), this unit provides ample headroom for starting heavy equipment with high inrush currents and handling sudden load surges. The generator operates at 1500 RPM (50Hz) with a fuel consumption of just 197.9 g/kW.h, making it a cost-effective 240volt generator choice for extended backup power.

Powered by WEICHAI – The 9.726L Straight-Six Powerhouse

At the heart of this 240volt generator lies the WEICHAI WP10D238E200, a 6-cylinder, 9.726-liter turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine with an inline configuration. With a bore and stroke of 126×130 mm and a compression ratio of 17:1, this large-displacement platform delivers exceptional torque and thermal efficiency. The engine achieves a mean effective pressure of 1.78 MPa and a mean piston speed of 6.5 m/s—a well-balanced figure that promotes long engine life while delivering robust power for demanding applications.

What truly sets this engine apart is its remarkable oil consumption ratio of just ≤0.2% of fuel consumption—significantly lower than the industry average. With an oil capacity of 24L, the EM-W248 is designed for extended service intervals that minimize downtime. The engine maintains oil pressure between 330–550 kPa at rated speed, with a low-pressure alarm and shutdown at 80 kPa to protect the engine from damage.

Built to Start in the Toughest Conditions

A 240volt generator is only as good as its ability to start when you need it most. The WP10D238E200 starts reliably down to 10°C without auxiliary starting devices, and with a preheater, it operates confidently down to -30°C. This exceptional cold-start capability makes the EM-W248 a practical choice for installations across North America, where winter storms can knock out the power grid for days.

The 24V starting circuit is engineered with a maximum resistance of just 4 mΩ and uses 50 mm² wiring, ensuring ample current delivery to the starter even in the coldest conditions. A 5.4kW starter motor and 55A battery charging alternator provide robust starting power that you can count on every time. When a winter storm hits, this 240volt generator delivers the reliable starting performance you need to keep your facility running.

Engineered for Quiet, Efficient Operation

The EM-W248 features a soundproof canopy lined with sound-reducing foam, making it a 240volt generator that respects both residential and commercial environments. The industrial silencer and modular ventilation design further reduce noise levels, while the all-metal canopy parts are powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance. The engine noise is rated at just 101.5 dB(A) (acoustic power level)—remarkably low for a 180kW diesel unit.

The engine’s thermal management is equally impressive. The closed-loop water cooling system is rated for operation up to 50°C ambient temperature, with a thermostat that begins opening at 71°C and reaches full opening at 82°C. Coolant flow is 14.0 m³/h, and the system holds 22L of coolant, ensuring stable operating temperatures even during extended run times.

Clean, Efficient Combustion

The turbocharged and aftercooled WP10D238E200 draws 1,041 kg/h of air at rated conditions, ensuring complete combustion and reduced emissions. The exhaust system is designed with a maximum back pressure limit of 6±0.5 kPa, allowing for flexible exhaust routing without compromising performance. Maximum exhaust temperature is capped at 700°C before the turbocharger and 600°C after—indicating robust thermal design that protects turbocharger components over the long term.
