Generators

Power generator - a source of electricity in situations where the power supply is disrupted or unavailable. We offer a wide range of power generators and energy solutions: a generator for the home, farm or factory. A generator can be used as a back-up power source during power cuts or in places without electricity, such as construction sites, holiday cottages or outings in nature. Choose the type of generator that suits you best from petrol, inverter, petrol/LPG, diesel. 

Why do I need power generators?

A generator provides a reliable and stable source of power in abnormal conditions, such as crisis situations or when no other source of electricity is available. Generators are not only necessary for businesses and private homes or holiday homes, but they are also useful for activities and trips to nature. A generator is an essential tool to keep your work on track, so make sure you have enough in advance for a variety of unexpected situations. It's certainly possible to go a few days without a computer or fan, but not a few hours without a fridge, water pump and boiler in the coldest time of the year. However, careful consideration should be given to which type of generator is appropriate for each need. Below, we look at the types and advantages of power generators. 

What are the different types of generators?

• Petrol generators -  popular for their ease of use. Suitable for smaller projects and/or domestic use. Petrol generators are popular for seasonal use or as a back-up power source. Not recommended for long term operation, they are ideal for running for a few hours a day. Easily transportable and compact. Generally low weight, mostly up to 30 kg. 
• Petrol/LPG (Liquid Natural Gas) generators - offer a flexible choice of fuel. You can choose to use LPG or petrol to power the generator. LPG provides lower operating costs. 
• Inverter generators - quiet, easy to move and low fuel consumption. Ideal for travelling to the countryside, as well as for catering and trading. Inverter generators are quieter and last longer than other types of generator without an inverter. 
• Diesel generators - recommended for heavier work and for professionals. Provides longer run time and more power. Can be used as a backup or stand-alone power source. Economical in terms of fuel consumption. Ideal for use in factories and other large projects, but of course can also be used for domestic applications. Compared to petrol generators, they are easier to maintain and have lower maintenance costs. 

Selection criteria

When choosing a generator, it is important to assess the power required. For small households, a low-power generator will suffice, while larger projects or fully equipped homes require more power. It is also important to consider the number of phases - single-phase generators provide voltages that will be suitable for domestic use, while three-phase will be suitable for more complex tasks such as industry.

Additional consideration should be given to the type of starter for the generator. There are manual (pull cord), electric (push button) and automatic (self-starter) starters. Automatic starters are particularly useful in the event of frequent power failures. They can also be purchased separately HERE.

Accessories can also be added to the generator, such as wheels for easy handling, covers for protection against wet weather or storage, and chemicals for maintenance.
