As with all Fischer Panda Generators, the Panda 5000 comes standard with 100% Water-cooled, cooling for both the engine and the asynchronous Fischer Panda is the only company to build generators with a 100% 25 fresh water-cooled asynchronous electric plant. This feat of engineering provides distinct advantages over air-cooled generators in size, weight, noise, fuel efficiency and performance. This robust Fischer Panda 5000 is driven by the reliable Kubota twin-cylinder diesel engine and produces a powerful 40 amps (maximum load). Operating at a noise level below 54 dBa @ 7 meters, this fierce competitor is no loud mouth. It is powerful enough to simultaneously start and run a 16,000 and 12,000 BTU air conditioner. Weighing in at a mere 268 lbs, the Panda 5000 is ideal for compact installations on sailboats or smaller gas or diesel powered powerboats.
