All our generators have acoustic canopies giving quiet operation, with ultra low emissions, no smoke on start up and have a fully bunded catch-all base that will contain all engine fluids in the event of a failure.

The Generating sets have high reliability built-in, backed up by our emphasis on rigorous preventative maintenance, saving time and costs often associated with breakdowns.

  GENERATOR SIZE  
  What Size Generator Do I Need?  
   
 

Generator output is usually specified in kVA (kilovolt amp), which is generally greater than the actual useable power. ie. only 80% of the stated kVA rating.

This is known as the power factor and must be taken into account when placing your order. To work out the power factor ( useable power), multiply the stated kVA rating by 0.8.

Example: 5 kVA x 0.8 = 4 kW (kilowatts)

Power Tool Examples:

 
 
9¼ " Circular Saw
1550W
 
 
Router
1600W
 
 
5" Mini Grinder
1020W
 
 
Planer
550W
 
 
9" Angle Grinder
2000W
 
 
½" Drill
800W
 
 
Kettle
3000W
 
               
  NOTE: 1kW = 1000W        
  Therefore a 5kVA generator should power one kettle and a ½" drill.  
               
 

NOTE: If the wattage of the tool etc. is not known, it can be obtained by multiplying the voltage by the amperage.

For example, a 240V drill with a running current of 5 amps will have a wattage of :- 240v x 5A = 1200W (1.2kW)
