Fischer Panda 19i PMS Generator: 19kW Variable-Speed Ultra-Quiet Power (230V) The gold-standard in silence and efficiency—19kW continuous at just 54 dB(A) @ 7m with variable-speed PMS technology for 45-70ft yachts and light commercial vessels. At Wave Inboard Motors, we’ve been the Southeast’s leading Fischer Panda dealer since 2012 and have installed over 130 i-Series generators—including 45 of the 19i PMS—in yachts from 50-70ft across Florida, the Bahamas, and Caribbean. The 19i PMS (Permanent Magnet Synchronous) with variable speed 2200-2800 rpm remains the quietest and most fuel-efficient 19kW marine generator on the planet—perfect for owners who refuse to compromise on silence, weight, or modern integration. If you’re upgrading from an older Panda 4000s/5000i or Onan 21.5 kW, our marine generator installation service typically completes the swap in 4-5 days with full iControl2 and Fischer Panda Cloud connectivity. The Fischer Panda 19i PMS is built around a water-cooled Kubota V1505T four-cylinder with permanent-magnet alternator and Fischer Panda’s legendary dual-layer cocoon sound shield. Variable speed (iControl2 automatically adjusts RPM to load) delivers up to 30% fuel savings and dramatically lower noise than fixed-speed units.

Northern Lights and Kohler are solid commercial workhorses, but for yachts 50-70ft where every dB and kg matters, the 19i PMS is the clear winner.

Pros and Cons Pros Cons Quietest 19kW on the market (54 dB(A) @ 7m) Premium pricing Lightest in class (285 kg) Freshwater cooling (heat exchanger service) Variable speed = 25-35% fuel savings Kubota parts (we stock full kits) iControl2 Cloud remote monitoring Single-phase 230V standard (3-phase extra) Full digital diagnostics & auto-load adapt Slightly larger footprint than 15i Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Fischer Panda 19i PMS Generator From 130 installs and owner calls: Is the Fischer Panda 19i PMS really 54 dB(A) at 7 meters? Yes—independent tests and our own measurements confirm 53-55 dB(A) in real yachts. Owners say “barely audible from the saloon.” Variable speed vs fixed—what’s the real fuel saving? 25-35% in typical yacht use (30-70% load). At 50% load it runs ~2400 rpm and burns ~4.2 L/hr vs 6.5 L/hr fixed speed. Freshwater cooling—more maintenance than Paguro? Yes—annual heat exchanger cleaning and impeller, but zero corrosion issues and smoother running. Can the 19i PMS run two 16k BTU air-conditioners? Yes with soft-starts—draws ~48A at 230V. Full 19kW handles dual plus watermaker. Remote monitoring with the Panda Cloud? Standard—monitor voltage, load, hours, faults, and GPS position from your phone anywhere.
