Volvo Penta TAD580VE
D5 Generator Drive
Volvo Penta TAD580VE fixed-speed generator-drive diesel engine with published 50 Hz at 1,500 rpm and 60 Hz at 1,800 rpm ratings. The table separates mechanical engine output (kWm), electrical output (kWe), and generator-set apparent power (kVA). These derated generator ratings must not be substituted with the model's higher variable-speed off-road maximum-power curve.
