Overview#
The Generac MG1000 is a 1,000 kW modular natural gas generator using a Generac turbocharged and aftercooled 49.0L V12 spark-ignited engine (10.0:1 compression ratio), built on the Modular Power System (MPS) platform with a Power Zone Pro Sync controller for factory-integrated paralleling. This is the largest model in the Generac MG Series, providing megawatt-class natural gas backup with N+1 redundancy capability when multiple units are deployed in parallel.
Our Service Experience#
The MG1000 is the flagship of the MG Series, delivering 1 MW from the Generac 49.0L V12 turbocharged and aftercooled engine. At this output level, turbocharger condition, exhaust valve recession, and oil analysis are critical service priorities. With 12 spark plugs per unit, ignition maintenance is a major service event. Full-load natural gas consumption is 11,243 SCFH (3,418 SCFH at 25% load), requiring dedicated high-capacity gas supply infrastructure with redundant regulators. Operating fuel pressure is 14-28 inches H₂O (3.5-7.0 kPa). Open-set dimensions are 220.3" x 102.0" x 108.1" (5,597 x 2,590 x 2,745 mm) with a weight range of 22,798-24,495 lbs (10,334-11,114 kg) depending on configuration. The MG1000 offers a compelling solution for facilities that need megawatt-class natural gas backup with the redundancy benefits of Generac's MPS paralleling platform.
