PANDA 8000i PMS

The PANDA 8000i PMS is a water-cooled marine diesel generator from Fischer Panda with variable speed technology for onboard power supply in yachts and motorboats. It delivers up to 6.4 kW / 8.0 kVA at 230 V (optional 400 V, 3-phase) and automatically adjusts the engine speed to the electrical load – for economical, quiet operation even at partial load.

• Variable speed technology reduces fuel consumption and engine load in the partial load range compared to fixed-speed generators
• Hermetically encapsulated, water-cooled housing significantly reduces noise in the engine room
• Downstream inverter provides a stable output voltage and frequency regardless of the current engine speed
• Compact design (520 x 445 x 545 mm) is also suitable for smaller engine rooms
• Approved for operation on European inland waterways

The PANDA 8000i PMS belongs to Fischer Panda's "Perfect Power i-Series" and is designed as a marine diesel generator for autonomous 230 V onboard power supply on yachts, for example for air conditioning, kitchen appliances, anchor winches or charging battery banks via chargers. Philippi supplies the PANDA 8000i PMS as part of complete onboard energy concepts and provides advice on integration into existing or newly planned onboard electrical systems comprising charging technology, inverters and shore power automatic transfer switches.

The PANDA 8000i PMS is powered by a Kubota diesel engine (type Z482, 2 cylinders, 479 cm³ displacement), which operates in the speed range of 2,200 to 2,800 rpm, thus meeting current emission standards. The water-cooled, hermetically sealed encapsulation of engine and generator ensures effective sound insulation – an aspect that, according to Fischer Panda, customers from professional applications to military use particularly appreciate. The starting system works with 12 V as standard; a 24 V version is also available at an extra charge.

Technical Data

Compatibility

The PANDA 8000i PMS can be integrated into existing or newly planned onboard electrical systems based on chargers, inverters and shore power automatic transfer switches. Philippi provides support in designing the overall system so that the generator, battery system and onboard consumers work together seamlessly. For questions regarding specific system integration, the Fischer Panda team at Philippi is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How loud is the PANDA 8000i PMS in operation?
Fischer Panda specifies sound levels for the PANDA 8000i PMS of 52 dB(A) at 7 m, 63 dB(A) at 5 m, and 67 dB(A) at 1 m distance. The hermetically sealed, water-cooled encapsulation significantly reduces noise compared to open diesel generators.

Can I install the generator myself?
Due to the necessary cooling water, exhaust gas, and electrical installation, as well as the integration into the onboard electrical system, installation by a specialist company or a yacht shipyard is recommended. Philippi provides advice in advance on planning system integration.

What is the difference between the PANDA 8000i PMS and the Panda 10000i PMS?
The PANDA 8000i PMS delivers up to 6.4 kW / 8.0 kVA and is equipped with the more compact Kubota Z482 engine, while the Panda 10000i PMS offers more power at 8.0 kW / 10.0 kVA with the larger Kubota KU Z602 and slightly larger dimensions.

Is the generator approved for operation in Europe?
Yes, the PANDA 8000i PMS is approved for operation on European inland waterways.
