Fischer Panda FPMA1004-3F – Generator 15000i – 400V PMS, KW/kVA 12.0 / 15.0, 2200-2800 RPM, Cyl. 3, 840 x 563 x 664

Description

Fischer Panda 15000i 400V PMS Marine Generator – FPMA1004-3F

The Fischer Panda 15000i 400V PMS is a three-phase marine diesel generator with a published nominal output of 12.0 kW / 15.0 kVA. Available through Marine Inboard Specialists under listing reference FPMA1004-3F, it provides auxiliary electrical power for vessels with compatible 400 V, 50 Hz systems.

For owners replacing a generator or planning a new installation, this model combines variable-speed generation with a three-cylinder diesel engine and sound-insulated enclosure. The right package depends on your electrical loads, machinery space, and intended operating hours.

Variable-Speed Marine Power with Inverter Regulation

The 15000i belongs to Fischer Panda’s iSeries inverter generator range. Engine speed adjusts with electrical demand, while the matched inverter regulates the AC output. This allows the engine to respond to changing loads without relying on a fixed engine speed to establish the supply frequency.

This arrangement is useful for vessels whose electrical demand changes throughout the day. Battery charging, cooking, watermaking, and air conditioning create different load profiles, so generator selection should consider how these systems operate together.

Dimensions, speed range, and equipment can differ between versions. Use the offered assembly’s identification and applicable drawing when planning the installation. For extended running, obtain its allowable continuous-output rating and operating conditions as well as its nominal rating.

Understanding 12 kW, 15 kVA and Three-Phase Loads

15 kVA does not mean 15 kW. The published 12 kW rating describes real electrical power, while 15 kVA describes apparent power. Their relationship reflects the stated 0.80 power factor.

With a 400V three-phase marine generator, sizing also requires a review of the load on each phase. The total rating should not be treated as capacity available to one single-phase appliance.

Ask your marine electrician to assess phase currents, permitted load imbalance, motor-starting demand, and the distribution of any single-phase equipment. A satisfactory total load calculation can still overlook an overloaded phase.

If your vessel needs 230 V appliances as well as 400 V equipment, establish the available phase-to-neutral supply, neutral arrangement, and permitted loading before ordering. If the boat has an entirely single-phase system, compare the appropriate 230 V generator instead.

Is This the Right Generator for Your Vessel?

Evaluate the 15000i 400V PMS against your actual electrical equipment, including three-phase pumps, compressors, watermakers, and other compatible machinery. Include battery chargers, refrigeration, air conditioning, and hotel loads in the assessment.

Motor-driven equipment may draw substantially more current during starting than during normal operation. Provide equipment nameplate details, starting method, and a list of loads that must run simultaneously.

Your intended operating schedule also matters. Occasional use at anchor and extended daily operation require different considerations for loading, servicing, and installation conditions.

Match the Electrical System, Installation and Controls

Match the Electrical System

For a replacement, provide the existing generator’s model, serial number, rated output, voltage, frequency, and phase. Have your installer review switchgear, electrical protection, shore-power changeover, earthing, and compatibility with any inverter/charger system.

Match the Installation Space

Allow room for the generator, separate inverter, hose connections, cable routing, enclosure removal, and servicing. Check the installation access route as well as the final compartment dimensions.

The manufacturer’s 15000i 400V capsule drawing provides a reference for the documented assembly.

Match the Cooling and Controls

Have your installer assess seawater supply, freshwater cooling, wet-exhaust routing, waterlock placement, and the inverter’s cooling requirements. Confirm the control panel, connecting cables, and any automatic-start interface required.

Use the applicable generator and inverter manuals. Fischer Panda provides model-specific documentation through its handbooks and capsule drawings.

Generator Package and Scope of Supply

Request a quotation identifying the generating set, sound enclosure, matched three-phase inverter, control panel, connecting cables, fuel pump, mounting equipment, and documentation included.

Specify any cooling and exhaust installation parts, additional cable lengths, starting battery, or service spares required. Identify installation labour and commissioning separately so you can compare the complete marine generator installation cost.

For a replacement project, provide compartment photographs and an assessment of the existing cooling and exhaust systems. Resolve any cause of overheating or water entry before fitting the replacement generator.

Fischer Panda 15000i 400V PMS Price, Delivery and Warranty

Request a Fischer Panda 15000i 400V PMS price for the package and destination you need. The written quotation should identify the supplied model and condition, equipment included, current availability, dispatch estimate, freight charges, and applicable taxes.

Obtain the warranty terms for the actual unit supplied, including the warrantor, coverage period, territory, registration, and commissioning requirements. Provide your intended purchase date so delivery can be assessed against your installation schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a 15 kW marine generator?

The published nominal rating is 12.0 kW / 15.0 kVA. Use both ratings when assessing the electrical load.

Is the FPMA1004-3F a three-phase generator?

This listing refers to the 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase Panda 15000i PMS configuration.

Can it replace a 230 V single-phase generator?

It requires a separate electrical assessment. For an existing single-phase system, compare the 230 V model first.

Can it supply 230 V appliances?

Establish the supplied inverter’s phase-to-neutral output, neutral arrangement, and allowable phase loading. Provide your appliance list for review.

Does the sound enclosure determine cabin noise?

The enclosure helps control machinery noise. Mounting, structural vibration, exhaust design, and location also affect the sound experienced onboard.

Does the quoted package include the inverter and installation parts?

The itemized quotation establishes the scope. Request the matched three-phase inverter and specify the installation accessories needed.
