POWERFUL AND SILENT POWER STATIONS
BRAVE raises NED to its highest level, in order to bring energy everywhere without sacrificing acoustic comfort.
The BRAVE series by NED is a dream come true: high power generators (from 400 up to 2000 kva) with a very low sound emission (55 dB at 7 meters).
Thanks to this feature, these power stations can operate in full urban context without any noise pollution, providing energy to events, building, hospitals, public offices, shopping centres, rental, military and civil protection operations, and many others.
The dimensions of Brave generator sets always comply with ISO standards for easy transport.

The soundproof canopy is entirely designed and manufactured in-house. It is made of cold galvanized steel, then laser cut and press-bent, and consists of a self-supporting structure with ISO standard dimensions, assembled through galvanized bolts or rivets without any welding.
Alternator and engine are placed inside the canopy by means of anti-vibration supports. It has self-supporting, sound-absorbing modular panels which are made of sound insulating, non-combustible, class 0 or class A1, A1FL, A1L fire resistant mineral fibre, which is 150 mm thick. The soundproofing material is retained by pre-drilled galvanized sheets, covered with a mineral fibre film coating layer against dust, oil and diesel vapours.
The external galvanized sheets are painted with high-resistance epoxy powder, which prevents corrosion by atmospheric agents. The soundproofing is equipped with opening doors on both sides for easier access to each part of the machine, and a door for the electrical panel, equipped with unalterable rubber seals. The hinges and fixing systems are made of galvanized steel and the locking system is ensured by recessed stainless steel handles, fixed on two points, equipped with a key lock.
The soundproofing is easily transportable and positionable, as well as high resistant to atmospheric agents. Our silent residential muffler is incorporated in the soundproofing. It is assembled with residual noise reduction filters up to 55±5dB(A) at 7 mt, and equipped with galvanized steel sheet orientation ejectors for outdoor use, as well as inlets and air emissions vents.
Industrial diesel engine by leading brands (Perkins, Cummins, MTU or equivalent) with suitable displacement and power (as shown on the supporting documentation of the engine), direct injection.
The engine is equipped with the following accessories:
- Electric starting system with motor and battery charger alternator, with suitable batteries for at least 6 starts with preheated engine;
