Next Generation Power Engineering Diesel Generators

Next Generation Power Engineering Inc., a Florida based company, builds ultra-compact 3.5 KW and 5.5 KW gensets using Kubota fresh-water cooled diesel engines. The 3.5 KW unit measures 28" long, 15.5" wide, and 15" tall, and weighs 160 pounds. With the optional sound enclosure, [shown at right] dimensions are 30" long, 18" wide, 16.5" tall, weight is 200 pounds. It's small enough to fit most anywhere on your boat, and is very quiet in operation. It has sufficient output to power a 16,000 btu air conditioner, refrigerator, lights, and battery charger, simultaneously. Think of this unit as "portable shore power".

The 5.5 KW unit uses a 2 cylinder, fresh water cooled Kubota diesel, and measures 23" long, 17" wide, and 20" high, and weighs 230 pounds. With the optional sound enclosure, [shown below] dimensions are 25.5" long, 20" wide, 22" tall, weight is 260 pounds. It can power two air conditioners, totaling 20,000 btus, lights, and some small appliances.

Both units are very stingy with fuel, as the average consumption rate is just ONE FIFTH gallon per hour!

An optional fiberglass enclosure is available to further quiet the generator. If the genset is placed in the engine compartment this option is usually not needed, as our generators are designed to operate quietly without it.

Ignition protection is also available. This allows the generator to operate aboand a gasoline powered boat, as it cannot normally ignite gasoline fumes. One very large advantage of a diesel-powered generator is that carbon monoxide fumes are nearly eliminated, in contrast to a gasoline-powered generator. This makes sleeping aboard much safer for the crew.

About Next Generation Power Engineering Inc.

N.G.P. is a manufacturer and distributor of high quality, ultra-compact marine generator sets. Only the top level and best known components are used such as Kubota engines and Stamford Newage/Markon generators.

Company owner Gino Kennedy has been developing and designing specialized power systems for almost twenty years, working for several engine and generator distributors in both Canada and the United States, before opening N.G.P. in Jacksonville, Florida in 1997.

Next Generation Power is most well known for its patented ultra-compact generator designs that are now in use in Marine, R.V. and truck generator applications. Several patents and patents pending have been issued covering horizontal, vertical and stacked generator designs. These designs have produced some of the lightest and smallest diesel gen-sets available for the commercial market today.

The Next Generation Power Inc. philosophy of using only high quality components assembled by skilled workers is followed by 100% testing of every machine, resulting in an impeccable reputation for quality. Absolutely no unnecessary electronic circuit boards or devices are ever used which drastically reduces the potential of failures in harsh environments and makes diagnosis and troubleshooting a breeze.

Designing custom sets for specialized applications is also available. Next Generation Power Inc. has developed many machines for mobile, military and land-based applications where many other companies have failed.

At N.G.P., the commitment to quality products with reliable performance has proven to be the right formula with repeat business coming from referrals of satisfied customers that presently own gensets.
