About KW-Generator
KW-Generator GmbH has been developing and producing brushless, self-excited synchronous generators in the power range from 7 to 550 kVA since 2006 at its site in Schwäbisch Gmünd in southern Germany. The portfolio comprises six frame sizes (BG 132 to BG 355) in two-, four- and eight-pole versions with all standard voltages in single- and three-phase as well as protection classes from IP54 to IP67; operation is maintenance-free for up to 20,000 hours. In addition to standard products, custom solutions are created, such as special voltages, special designs, CAN bus adaptations and program/parameter adjustments through to series production. In addition, the company supplies ready-to-connect complete systems with switchgear cabinet, touch control unit, insulation monitoring and grid analysis, generators for magnetic plate systems (GEMA), as well as the BAMA Battery Magnetic Plate System for high-voltage battery systems from 520 to 1000 V with galvanically isolated DC/DC converters. Mechanical design is carried out with CREO, with 2D/3D data provided in various file formats for customers and suppliers. Since 2025, KW-Generator has been part of the Linz Electric – Pedrollo Group and markets its products worldwide via international partners.

Technology and Processes
Brushless synchronous generators
Six frame sizes from 2-pole 7 kVA to 4-pole 550 kVA, single- and three-phase, IP54–IP67, maintenance-free for up to 20,000 hours.
Generators for magnetic plate systems
Generators 9–30 kW with pluggable electronics box and CAN communication to the HMI control device for material handling.
Battery Magnetic Plate System
Modular coupling between high-voltage traction battery (520–1000 V) and magnetic plates with galvanically isolated DC/DC converters.
High Performance Housing Technology
Fin contour and lamination cutting geometry enable up to 20 % more power with the same stack length and frame size.
DSP controller generator regulator
With CAN SAE1939 and True-RMS measurement, tested as standard down to -40°C, complies with construction machinery standard and railway approval.
Integrated Temperature Management
Determination of winding temperatures in the airflow to calculate the maximum power output in all operating scenarios.
