Come and see the basic features you should pay attention to when making a purchase, as well as which ones are important based on the intended use.

Output Power (Watt)

Power is the first thing you should consider. Calculate the total power of all devices that will operate simultaneously and choose a generator with slightly higher power than that.

For example, if the devices that operate simultaneously are 3500 Watts, choose a generator with a continuous power higher, for example 4000 Watts, to cover possible deviations.

Based on the power voltage, there are two types of generators:

Three-phase: The operating voltage is 340 - 380V and is suitable for commercial spaces and homes with high power consumption.

Single-phase: The operating voltage is 220-230V and is sufficient for the majority of household users.

Fuel Type

Generators use  gasoline, diesel, or propane as fuel. Availability, storage, and the environment are the most important factors when choosing the type of fuel. 

Gasoline is widely available, and generators that run on it typically have greater endurance. However, it has several storage limitations.

Diesel is more efficient in fuel consumption and suitable for long-term use. 

Propane, because it has lower carbon dioxide emissions than the two above, is a more environmentally friendly option. 

Extra Features & Functions

Silent: Due to their construction, enclosed or suitcase-type generators are considered silent. With Recoil Start: Helps with easy and quick starting of the generator.

With Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR): AVR is an automatic voltage regulator, which is an electronic device that can maintain the generator's output voltage at a predetermined value.

Inverter: Voltage stabilization technology for safe power supply to sensitive electrical devices and fuel economy. Suitcase: Easily portable, as it has a handle, and its construction helps reduce noise during generator operation. Enclosed Type: The enclosed construction helps reduce noise during generator operation.

What features should you pay attention to based on usage?

For the holiday home

A single-phase generator will be able to support appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioning, and lighting during power outages.

Choose a quiet enclosed generator, so it can operate without causing disturbance during the night to you or your neighbors, and one with a starter for easier handling.

For camping or the caravan

In general, pay attention to the features mentioned above, but make sure the generator you choose is a portable suitcase model, so it can be carried very easily wherever you decide to set up the tent or park the caravan! 

For catering professionals 

Choose a three-phase generator, which will be able to support high consumption. As for the fuel type, prefer diesel, which has low operating costs and great durability. 

Now that you know, don't wait any longer! Go here and find the ideal generator for you!
