The TAD733GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel

Engine built on the dependable in-line six
design.
Durability & low noise
Designed for easiest, fastest and most
economical installation. Well-balanced
to produce smooth and vibration-free
operation with low noise level.
To maintain a controlled working tem-
perature in cylinders and combustion
chambers, the engine is equipped with
piston cooling. The engine is also tted
with replaceable cylinder liners and valve
seats/guides to ensure maximum dura-
bility and service life of the engine.
Low exhaust emission
The state of the art, high-tech injection
and charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent combus-
tion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD733GE complies with EU Stage
2 and TA-Luft exhaust emission regula-
tions.
Easy service & maintenance
Easily accessible service and mainte-
nance points contribute to the ease of
service of the engine.

197 kW (268 hp) at 1500 rpm, 218 kW (296 hp) at 1800 rpm
Power Standards
The engine performance corresponds to ISO 3046, BS
5514 and DIN 6271. The technical data applies to an engine
without cooling fan and operating on a fuel with caloric
value of 42.7 MJ /kg (18360 BTU/lb) and a density of 0.84
kg/liter (7.01 lb/US gal), also where this involves a deviation
from the standards. Power output guaranteed within 0 to
+2% att rated ambient conditions at delivery. Ratings are
based on ISO 8528.
Engine speed governing in accordance with ISO 3046/IV,
class A1 and ISO 8528-5 class G3
Exhaust emissions
The engine complies with EU stage 2 and TA-luft exhaust
emission regulations.
Rating Guidelines
PRIME POWER rating corresponds to ISO Standard Power for
continuous operation. It is applicable for supplying electrical power
at variable load for an unlimited number of hours instead of com-
mercially purchased power. A10 % overload capability for govering
purpose is available for this rating.
MAXIMUM STANDBY POWER rating corresponds to ISO
Standard Fuel Stop Power. It is applicable for supplying standby
electrical power at variable load in areas with well established
electrical networks in the event of normal utility power failure. No
overload capability is available for this rating. 1 hp = 1 kW x 1.36
