General description The QAC 750-1000 is an AC generator, built for continuous running at sites where no electricity is available or as stand-by in cases of interruption of the mains. The QAC 750-1000 generator operates at 50/60 Hz. The rated output is 750/875 kVA (QAC 750) / 1000/1140 kVA (QAC 1000) prime power. The QAC 750-1000 generator is driven by a water-cooled diesel engine, manufactured by DEUTZ.
