Where Lister Petter sets work best

Villas, farms and remote sites

Compact Starlite SA sets from 13 to about 70 kVA are a common choice for villas, farms, istirahas and telecom shelters — simple engines that local workshops can service.

Buildings and workshops

LP443 and LP665 sets from 90 to 300 kVA cover typical office buildings, schools, workshops and construction camps.

Large standby plants

The LP625 and V-engine LP sets reach 1,095 to 2,750 kVA per set for factories, hospitals and multi-set standby plants.

Before you order a Lister Petter set

  1. Confirm 50 or 60 Hz before ordering — the 60 Hz rating of the same engine is usually higher.
  2. For farms and remote sites, ask for a larger fuel tank and dust-rated air filtration.
  3. On large sets, confirm the alternator (Leroy-Somer or Stamford) and controller with the offer.
