Main parts General description The QAS 14 Kd S5 and QAS 20 Kd S5 are AC generators, built for continuous running at sites where no electricity is available or as stand-by in cases of interruption of the mains. The generator operates at 50 Hz, 230V in line-to-neutral mode and 400V in line-to-line mode. The QAS 14 Kd S5 and QAS 20 Kd S5 generators are driven by a fluid-cooled diesel engine, manufactured by KUBOTA.
