Generators.
A generator produces power independently of shore power, weather and engine running time. In this category you will find the water-cooled diesel generators from Fischer Panda for installation in boats and yachts as well as in expedition and special vehicles; philippi advises on selection and integration into the onboard network. Use the switch above to show only the models for boats or for vehicles.

In brief: water cooling allows a closed sound enclosure, which is why the generators run much more quietly than air-cooled units. The i-series models use inverter technology and deliver a stable 230 V voltage.

The vehicle versions differ in design and installation situation. Rated output, dimensions and all technical data are on the respective product page. Further power classes and versions from Fischer Panda are available on request.
Integration into the onboard network
The automatic transfer units of the LAU series switch between shore power, generator and inverter and only release the generator once its voltage is stable. Together with a charger, the generator charges the battery bank. In a vehicle, it feeds the 230 V network via a transfer unit or a combi inverter. How the charging sources work together is explained in the Academy section Charging and energy generation.
Frequently asked questions. Answered briefly.
When do I need a generator and when is an inverter-charger enough?
An inverter-charger such as the XTM, XTH or Mass Combi Ultra makes 230 V from the battery and charges on shore power, but the energy must first be in the battery. A Fischer Panda generator produces it itself and pays off for high continuous loads off-grid over long periods, e.g. air conditioning, a watermaker or an electric cooker.
How much power do I need?
Add up all AC loads running at the same time and plan a reserve, as some appliances need much more power when starting. In the range, the models extend from the Panda 5000i PMS with 4.0 kW to the Panda 10000i PMS with 8.0 kW. If you are unsure, we are happy to work out the sizing with you.
What is the difference between an AC and a DC generator?
The Panda AGT-DC 4000-12V PMS does not produce 230 V AC, but charges the 12 V battery bank directly with 3.2 kW. This makes sense if the energy is distributed via the battery and inverter anyway. AC generators such as the i models, on the other hand, supply 230 V directly for loads and chargers on board.
How is the generator combined with shore power and an inverter?
Via an automatic changeover unit from the LAU series: it switches between shore power, generator and inverter and only releases the generator once its voltage is stable. Together with a charger such as the ACE series, the generator then also charges the battery bank, including lithium batteries with a suitable charging profile.
May I operate the generators on European inland waterways?
That depends on the model. According to the product information, the Panda 8000i PMS, Panda 10000i PMS and Panda AGT-DC 4000-12V PMS are approved for operation on European inland waterways. The Panda 5000i PMS and Panda 5000i Neo PMS do not have this approval. Check this before buying if you travel on the Rhine, Danube or canals.
Which version suits my vehicle?
The three versions of the 5000i range each deliver 4.0 kW and differ in installation: the Panda 5000i PVK-U is intended for underfloor mounting with a separate external cooler, the PVK-UK has the cooler integrated into the capsule, and the PVMV-N is a compact encapsulated unit.
