Fischer Panda 8000 PVK-U Generator for Sale – FPVG0204

The Fischer Panda 8000 PVK-U, listed under reference FPVG0204, is a two-cylinder diesel vehicle generator rated at 6.8 kW / 8.0 kVA nominal output, operating at 3,000 RPM. Its 870 × 523 × 580 mm capsule is designed for external chassis installation with a separate cooling radiator.

Fischer Panda’s current 8000x PVK-U reference matches these published figures. Contact Marine Inboard Specialists for a quotation identifying the actual manufacturer article number, control system and installation package supplied.

Fixed-Speed Diesel Power for Vehicle Installations

The manufacturer’s 8000x PVK-U reference supplies 230 V, 50 Hz, single-phase AC power at a fixed engine speed of 3,000 RPM. Fischer Panda UK identifies applications including battery charging, vehicle utility appliances and monitoring or communication equipment.

For a buyer, the useful starting point is the complete equipment load: what must operate simultaneously, which appliances have significant starting demand, and how many hours the generator will run each day.

The 8000 PVK-U fixed-speed listing should be distinguished from the 8000i PVK-U variable-speed model. Their output ratings, controls and installation dimensions need to be compared using the applicable model documents.

External Mounting with a Separate Radiator

PVK-U identifies an external vehicle installation requiring a separate radiator. Fischer Panda describes a steel enclosure with a removable cover and a water-cooled exhaust silencer inside the capsule. This arrangement is intended for chassis or underfloor mounting, with access planned for servicing.

The separate radiator gives the vehicle designer a choice of cooling location. Its airflow, fan power supply, coolant connections and mounting space must be assessed alongside the generator.

For comparison, PVK-UK incorporates a radiator within the external generator package, while PVMV-N is intended for internal vehicle installation with remote cooling. If your project is a vessel installation, specify that requirement so an appropriate marine configuration can be selected.

Source: Fischer Panda 8000x PVK-U manufacturer datasheet. Dimensions cover the capsule; allow additional space for fittings, mounting hardware and service access.

The 279 kg reference weight includes the generator capsule. Establish the complete installed weight separately, including the radiator, coolant, mounting structure and other accessories. Published sound figures should also be assessed alongside radiator-fan noise and the vehicle’s mounting arrangement.

Understanding 6.8 kW and 8.0 kVA

kW measures real power; kVA measures apparent power. Fischer Panda pairs the published 6.8 kW and 8.0 kVA figures using a 0.85 factor.

Its vehicle brochure explains that, for this asynchronous generator range, the kVA calculation at 0.85 relates to short starting performance for inductive consumers. Use the applicable continuous-output and starting-performance information when sizing equipment.

For example, a 2.0 kW heater, a battery charger drawing 2.5 kW from the AC supply and 1.0 kW of other equipment total 5.5 kW before radiator fans or starting surges. This illustrative calculation helps establish the load schedule; it does not establish suitability by itself.

Ask for the operating rating, permissible starting loads and relevant performance information for the actual generator supplied.

Is This the Right Replacement Generator?

For installation planning, use three checks: match the electrical load, match the chassis installation and match the cooling package.

Match the Electrical Load

Provide the required voltage, frequency and phase configuration, together with the AC input of connected appliances. Include starting-current information for compressors, pumps and other motors where available.

Identify the existing shore-power connection, inverter/charger and changeover arrangement. Have your installer assess electrical integration and protection requirements before treating the generator as a direct replacement.

Match the Chassis Installation

Measure the available space and assess ground clearance, structural support, suspension movement and maintenance access. Include photographs showing the existing mounts and connection positions.

Use a drawing matched to the offered assembly. Fischer Panda publishes a reference drawing for article 0033246; confirm the applicable revision and installed envelope with the quotation.

Match the Cooling Package

Specify the proposed radiator location, expected ambient temperature and coolant-hose route. Allow access for inspection and cleaning.

The manufacturer lists radiator options using 24 V DC or 230 V AC fan supplies. Confirm the selected fan supply separately from the generator’s 12 V starting system.

If the previous generator overheated, include an assessment of cooling performance and airflow before commissioning its replacement.

Generator Package and Scope of Supply

An itemised quotation should identify the generator assembly, control panel, electrical control equipment, wiring, radiator, fan controls, fuel connections, exhaust installation parts and mounting components included.

State which existing components you intend to reuse. Compatibility should be established by model and part number, especially when replacing an older generator with a different control-system version.

Identify installation labour, vehicle modifications, commissioning, manuals and required documentation separately. This gives you a practical basis for comparing the complete vehicle generator replacement cost.

Fischer Panda 8000 PVK-U Price, Delivery and Warranty

Request a Fischer Panda 8000 PVK-U price for the required package and delivery destination. The written quotation should identify the actual manufacturer reference, equipment condition, supplied accessories, current availability, dispatch estimate and freight charges.

Obtain warranty terms for the generator supplied, including the warrantor, coverage period, territory and registration or commissioning requirements.

For international delivery, specify the destination country and any required emissions or conformity documentation. Confirm that the supplied documents correspond to the actual engine and generator assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Fischer Panda 8000 PVK-U a fixed-speed generator?

The supplied listing specifies 3,000 RPM. Fischer Panda’s matching current 8000x PVK-U reference is a fixed-speed model. Confirm the assembly identification when ordering.

Is it the same as the 8000i PVK-U?

They are different generator configurations. The 8000i uses variable-speed operation; this listing describes a fixed-speed unit. Compare their applicable specifications and installation requirements.

Does it supply 8 kW?

The published nominal real-power figure is 6.8 kW, paired with an 8.0 kVA apparent-power figure. Request the applicable operating and starting-load ratings for your equipment.

Does the PVK-U include an integrated radiator?

It requires a separate radiator. The quotation should establish whether the radiator, fan controls and installation accessories are included.

Can it replace my existing vehicle generator?

Potentially. Provide the existing generator identification, electrical load schedule, mounting measurements and cooling-system details so compatibility can be assessed.

How large and heavy is the reference model?

The current reference lists a capsule measuring 870 × 523 × 580 mm, excluding fittings, and approximately 279 kg with capsule. Confirm the complete installation envelope and weight for the offered package.
