Frequently asked questions: Portable and Wheeled Generating Sets
What kVA rating is needed for a site generator?
Start from the sum of the power of the equipment to be supplied, bearing in mind that some motors draw more current than normal on start-up. The kVA value stated on the data sheet, such as the 105 kVA of the Genmac sets, must exceed the demand with a margin. Ask a technician to calculate the total load before choosing the set.
What is the difference between diesel, petrol, LPG and natural gas generators?
Diesel is the typical choice for high-power sets and continuous work. Petrol is common in portable models, while LPG and natural gas are alternative fuels found in some versions of the same set, such as the Genmac G105GS-LPG or G105GS-NG. Choose according to the power, the duty cycle and the place of work.
What do 50 Hz and 60 Hz mean for generator sets?
Many data sheets show two frequencies, for example G105JO for 50 Hz and GU125JO for 60 Hz. The frequency must match that of the appliances you are supplying, and in Italy the grid and most loads operate at 50 Hz. Using a 60 Hz set on a 50 Hz installation can damage the connected motors. Check the frequency before buying.
What is an ATS panel for and how is it used to connect a generator?
The ATS is the automatic transfer switch panel: it switches the supply from the mains to the generator when power fails and prevents the generator from feeding the public line. Direct connection to the building's installation without a panel is dangerous for anyone working on the network. The catalogue includes ATS panels for the Pramac PMi 4500 and PMi 6500 models.
How do you use a generator safely?
Install the set outdoors or in a well-ventilated room, never in enclosed spaces, because the exhaust produces carbon monoxide. Keep a safe distance from people, check oil and fuel with the engine switched off and connect loads with cables suited to the power. Do not connect the set to the building's installation without an ATS panel.
What are portable and inverter generators, and when should each be chosen?
Petrol portable units, such as the Genmac sets from 2.2 to 6.0 kW, are used to power tools and lighting on site or in the countryside. Inverter sets such as the Pramac PMi are suitable for sensitive electronic equipment. The EcoFlow Smart Generator Dual Fuel bi-fuel unit runs on LPG and petrol. Choose according to weight, power and type of load.
Which sites and sectors use generator sets?
Building firms to power sites, organisers of events and outdoor shows, farms and industrial plants that need emergency power. They are also used for work in areas where the mains electricity does not reach. The type of set changes according to the power required and the duration of the service.
