Diesel Generator

Our generators are easy to install, any qualified electrician can install our generators.

Technical repairs, Parts, service, this is what we do. Our product is guaranteed and is covered by the respective engine supplier and our own workshop. We are capable.

We deliver in most areas in South Africa, sometimes photos or site visits could be needed to be sure for placements of our products especially the heavy ones. Some of our larger generators weigh up to 12 tonnes. Normally we work with 600kg for the smaller low-speed generators to 6 Tonnes for the 500 kva units.

Diesel generators are more efficient as other fuel types. Diesel engines are too robust. Diesel can be stored longer than gasoline and as a result, easier to use for standby operations. Diesel gen sets is more expensive but more reliable, especially on extended terms.

We have several different options available, automatic or controlled with the generators auto mains failure controller. As a standard the changeover switches is motorized auto mains failure panel controlled, remote or on board. You can ask our sales personnel for more information.

We do sometimes keep stock on used or refurbished generators. Our sales personnel can advise.

This is in fact a technical question. There are several factors to keep in mind to compare a generator with another generator: First Petrol or diesel, second low speed or fast speed 3,000 rpm, third open or enclosed, fourth silent or super silent. Even more information’s are air cooled, water cooled or oil cooled. Here some more factors, engine brand, automatic voltage regulator, brushed or brushless. The most common petrol generator available is as follows: Petrol driven high speed 3000 rpm with automatic voltage regulator brushed, air cooled in a frame not silent. A Standard diesels silent generator specification is as follows: Diesel driven, 1500 rpm, automatic voltage regulator, brushless, mains failure detection, enclosed with insulation and baffled with larger exhaust system. Plus, for automatic operation you can add a trickle battery charger and change over switch, the trickle charger is standard on our generators. At this time we get even more technical, it allows a significantly more enormous engine to produce similar power at low rpm's than an engine at high rpms. Plus, you will require a larger generator with four poles at 1500 rpm than a 2 pole alternator at 3,000 rpms. So to compare the weight: 3,000 rpm 12 kva approx. Weight 200 kgs, The Power Pack 12 Deutz super silent 12 kva approx. Weight is 700 kgs. Displacement: 12 kva @ 3,000 rpm is 688 cm³ two cylinders. The 12 kva @ 1500 rpm represent 1.56 litres two cylinders. Contact us for more information.
