PVM-N AC 8 Mini Vehicle Generator Series
The PVM‑N AC 8 Mini Vehicle Generator lineup delivers compact, whisper-quiet AC power for specialty vehicles, such as broadcast vans, mobile medical units, expedition rigs, and command centers. These generators are fully freshwater-cooled, housed in sealed capsules (fiberglass for the 8 and 12 models, stainless steel for the 15), and built to operate discreetly and dependably, even in sensitive environments.
- PVM‑N 8 Mini: Offers 6.8 kW continuous (7.5 kW peak) from a 2-cylinder diesel engine, weighing ~494 lbs. Rated at 53–54 dB(A) at 7 m.
- PVM‑N 12 Mini: Delivers 10.4 kW continuous (11.5 kW peak), powered by a 3-cylinder engine, rating noise at ~53–54 dB(A).
- PVM‑N 15 Mini: Expands output to 14.1 kW continuous (15.0 kW peak), with noise around 61–62 dB(A) at 1 m.
All models offer remote radiator mounting options, auto-start capability, water-cooled exhaust manifolds, and silent capsule enclosures optimized for sensitive mobile applications.
