The petrol and diesel generators

The production of Autonomous sources of electricity are now engaged not less than fifteen companies in the world here and the German company "Geko" and "Eisemann", Japanese "honda" and "hyundai", French "SDMO" and many others. Therefore, the buyer is often very not easy to choose the right product, so price not only with the quality but also ease of use.

To start you will need to determine for what purpose and where you will install the generator. If we are talking about the house, where there is a centralized network of power, which, however, is not very reliable, the best strategy is for these purposes a suitable gasoline generators of small capacity. Such household unit will be always true help out in situations when the power of the network suddenly disappears. They can be used not only in homes, but also cottages, garden houses, where you spend a small UIC-ends and do not live permanently.

Another thing, if the house you wish, an electric generator to buy, is intended for permanent residence, but there's no electricity. In this case, to put the generator on gasoline will be very expensive. In this case you fit the diesel generator.

Of course, the prices of gasoline generators and diesel are significantly different, the first is cheaper, but the latter is much more expensive, so much so significantly that many buyers it is confusing at first, but if the work equipment is constantly, it is translated into money spent on diesel and gasoline, diesel generator, ultimately, to pay off.

It is important to take into account the capacity of the required equipment, the more you want electricity, the more power you will need a generator. It is important to know that directories about the generators write maximum power works, but it does not mean that he will run continuously, however, this option involves short-term operation of the unit from a few seconds to a couple minutes. The real power equipment will always be 5-10% less than stated.

Also, you may notice that each store generators indicates the power in different ways: some in kilovolt-amperes, and the other in kilowatts. The secret is that it's not the same as some believe. 1 kW is 1 kVA*cosф where cosф is the power factor of each unit may be different, usually it is specified in the catalog, but the font at least. Here is such a secret hides sales of generators.

We should also ask about the place Assembly equipment. It often happens that a large company collects on your plants only the most expensive generators and models simpler and cheaper given to other subsidiaries or companies under license. This is often China or Taiwan. All this has a significant effect on product quality, which can unpleasantly surprise you in the most suitable moment.

In order to obtain accurate information about the generator there is a sense to address to experts of official representatives who will be able to provide comprehensive information on the issue. Experts can simply come to your house, to calculate energy consumption and to give all necessary advice on the acquisition of certain equipment. After purchase, they install, test, and run, and you don't need to multiply the kilowatts to amps.

Still a bit to say about the producers. Of course, I want to buy the equipment more reliable and with a large number of any functions. Occurs among buyers question: "What kind of generator it is better to choose Japanese or European?"

To this question to give a definite answer very difficult. The popularity of Japanese quality has resulted in strong demand raised the price of the generators Honda, Hyundai and others. Even so, the value of the yen to the dollar even with the price increase leaves the amount of attractive to most buyers. It should also ask the professional, but, of course, the final choice is always the buyer.
