Vetus GLX6SIC Diesel Generator - 6kVA - 1500RPM (GLX6SIC)

The GX generator set range

• Generator sets from 6 kVA to 24 kVA
• Low speed (1500 RPM) and high speed (3000 RPM) types available
• Single phase (230 V) and three phase (400 V)
• Compact dimensions

VETUS GX generators range from 6 kVA to 24 kVA and are available in 50 or 60 Hertz outputs. The base engines are carefully selected for power output and fuel economy, depending on the speed and output of the generator. These GX generator sets operate at fixed engine speeds. Low speed (1500 rpm) generator sets are recommended for commercial applications, prolonged usage and live-aboard vessels, due to reduced wear rates and lower noise levels. High speed (3000 rpm) generator sets are more suited to leisure applications and make installation possible even in confined spaces, due to their compact dimensions and lower weight.

Durability, reliability and performance

• The basis of all VETUS generator sets is a marine diesel engine which is marinised in-house by VETUS
• These VETUS engines are very reliable and also highly fuel efficient
• Innovative cooling system to improve performance and reduce sound levels

All VETUS marine diesel engines are marinised in-house to meet and exceed the latest standards. They feature specific benefits that are unique to the market. One of the most notable new features of the VETUS M-Line engines fitted to sets from 6 kVA upwards is the cast aluminium top cover. This cover provides two advantages: reduction of heat and sound. High ambient temperatures in the sound enclosure can have negative effects on engine performance. VETUS has developed an elegant yet efficient solution by fitting a water-cooled aluminium engine cover. Located directly  above the cylinder head, this huge cooling element absorbs radiant heat coming from the engine. The innovative concept results in a significant temperature reduction of up to 20% and better performance of the generator.
