OSSA Powerlite® generators are the heart of the OSSA Powerlite system. Whether you are creating a full diesel-electric propulsion package or simply powering our accessories, it all starts here. In a world of thousands of generator manufacturers, just how different is OSSA Powerlite? A quick glance at our specifications makes it clear that no one comes close to our technology. OSSA Powerlite generators are smaller and lighter than anyone. Not just a little - A LOT!
 Our exceptionally high power density makes it pretty clear just how different OSSA Powerlite technology really is. However, there is more to OSSA Powerlite power than just the specifications. All OSSA Powerlite generators are Propulsion Duty Ratedtm. Propulsion Duty Rated means our generator sets meet the rigorous international requirements established for generators functioning as prime movers in commercial diesel-electric marine installations. It is your assurance that you will get 100% of the rated output hour-after-hour and week-after-week AND have a little extra in reserve for those tight situations.
The advantages of OSSA Powerlite generators don't stop here. Larger generators (25kW and up) feature OSSA Powerlite engines which represent the absolute state-of-the-art. They are the smallest capacity engines to use advanced common rail injection (CRI) - a high-pressure, precision metering technology that saves fuel and reduces emissions while also virtually eliminating diesel "knock" and "wetstacking". What more? Consider these additional exclusive OSSA Powerlite features: • Variable-speed operation produces only the power you need at the moment.
• Highest fuel-power conversion efficiency in the industry.
• Extra-low emission and low odor operation.
• Super-silent Ultra-dbtm lined sound enclosures.
• OSSA-CANtm network compatibility.
• One-touch start sequencing and online self-diagnostics.
• Water-cooled, ceramic-epoxy encapsulated stators.
• Neodymium rare-earth PM ventilated rotors.
• Turbo-charging and and water inter-cooling on all 25+kW generators.
• Extended service intervals up to 500 hours.
• 100% copper-nickel exhaust systems.
OSSA Powerlite® generators are available in capacities of 6, 13.5, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200kW.  See an animated cut away of the OSSA Powerlite 25kw engine.
