GENERATOR

Build the load list before choosing the generator.

Generator capacity depends on what will run together, motor starting demand, voltage and phase, operating time and the environment where the unit will be used.

Fuel option

Diesel generators

Browse the diesel generator range when diesel operation suits the site's fuel plan and running requirements.

Fuel option

Gasoline generators

Browse the gasoline generator range when petrol operation fits the job and site logistics.

Plan the supply in four checks

Equipment list

List every tool, machine or appliance that may operate at the same time.

Voltage and phase

Confirm the required voltage, single- or three-phase supply and connection arrangement.

Starting demand

Motors and compressors can draw more power during startup than during normal running.

Site and runtime

Account for operating hours, ventilation, weather exposure, access and acceptable noise levels.

The useful starting point is a complete load list. Include the equipment nameplate ratings and identify which items must start or run together before comparing generator models.
