Fixed-Speed Marine Power with a Kubota Diesel Engine

Fischer Panda’s 2015 marine brochure identifies the Panda 18 PMS with a Kubota D1105 diesel engine, 1,123 cm³ displacement, three cylinders and a 3,000 RPM operating speed. It also specifies two cooling circuits and a GFK enclosure with 3D sound insulation.

When planning the installation, assess the engine, cooling arrangement and control equipment actually supplied. Published family specifications provide a starting point; the offered unit’s identification and documentation establish the final configuration.

Checking Panda 18 PMS and Current Panda 18x Documentation

The listing uses the designation Panda 18 PMS. Fischer Panda’s current website documents a Panda 18x PMS with the same published 15.3 kW / 18.0 kVA nominal output.

Its current product page identifies reference 0038906, while the linked English datasheet identifies 0004789. That datasheet publishes 832 × 517 × 620 mm capsule dimensions, excluding fittings, which differ from FPMA3006’s listed dimensions.

Use the current Panda 18x PMS reference datasheet when discussing the offered configuration. Obtain written confirmation of the actual model, article number, controls and assembly drawing; matching output alone does not establish identical equipment or installation fit.

Understanding 15.3 kW and 18 kVA

kW measures real power; kVA measures apparent power. At a power factor of 0.85, 18.0 kVA corresponds to 15.3 kW. Keep both published ratings separately identified when comparing quotations.

Provide both running demand and motor-starting requirements. For extended operation, obtain the applicable sustained-output rating and load guidance for the exact unit supplied.

Include daily operating hours and periods of light loading in the assessment. A nominal rating alone does not establish the best generator for every operating schedule.

Is the Panda 18 Suitable for Your Boat’s Loads?

Prepare a load schedule covering equipment that may operate together: air conditioning, refrigeration, watermakers, battery chargers, water heating, galley appliances and pumps.

For example, a hypothetical 12.5 kW background load plus a 3.0 kW water heater totals 15.5 kW. That exceeds the listed 15.3 kW nominal output before allowing for motor starting. Load scheduling or a larger generator would need assessment.

Use battery chargers’ AC input requirements in the calculation. For compressors and pumps, provide starting-current data alongside running consumption.

Replacement and Installation Compatibility

Use three checks for a replacement project: match the electrical supply, match the installation and match the controls.

Match the Electrical Supply

Provide the existing generator’s model, serial number, voltage, frequency and phase arrangement. Specify whether the vessel requires single-phase or three-phase power.

Ask a marine electrician to assess load distribution, motor starting, shore-power switching, earthing and protection against the supplied generator’s requirements.

Match the Installation

Send compartment measurements and photographs showing the mounting base, access opening and surrounding machinery. Check the actual assembly dimensions, mounting loads, lifting route and service clearances.

Have the installer assess fuel supply and return, starting-battery connections, cooling-water intake, exhaust routing and ventilation. Include the installation’s position relative to the waterline and, for sailing boats, the effect of heel.

If the previous generator suffered overheating or water ingress, investigate the cause as part of the replacement project.

Match the Controls

Identify the supplied controller, remote panel, harness and cable lengths. Confirm compatibility before retaining an existing panel or connecting the generator to onboard monitoring equipment.

Include any required remote-start or automatic-start functions in the quotation, together with the equipment needed to support them.

Sound Insulation and Scope of Supply

The 2015 brochure publishes 55 dB(A) at 7 metres for the Panda 18 PMS. This is a manufacturer sound figure; noise inside accommodation depends on mounting, exhaust routing, compartment construction and installation location.

An itemized offer should identify the generator, enclosure, control package, supplied wiring and documentation. Establish separately whether mounts, installation kits, fuel-system parts, cooling and exhaust accessories, starter battery, installation labour and commissioning are included.

Obtain the applicable generator and engine manuals, wiring information and assembly drawing. Use the supplied article number and serial number when ordering service parts.

Operating Area and Certification Requirements

Provide the destination country, intended operating waters and any survey or classification requirements before purchase. Obtain emissions documentation and any required certification for the actual build offered.

Approval information for another model or article number does not establish the supplied unit’s eligibility. Identify the applicable documents in the written quotation.

Fischer Panda 18 PMS Price, Delivery and Warranty

Request a Fischer Panda 18 PMS price for the configuration and delivery destination you need. The written quotation should identify the supplied model, manufacturer article number, condition, included equipment, availability, dispatch estimate, freight charges and applicable taxes.

Obtain the warranty terms for the actual unit supplied, including the warrantor, coverage period, territory and any registration or commissioning requirements. Include installation and boat-side modifications when comparing complete project costs.
