High Quality Generator (3.5 Kva)

 If power outages often occur at home or in the country, you must definitely take care of the autonomous power supply of the site. The easiest way is to buy a power plant, which can help out for a certain time until the electricity is turned back on. The procedure for the correct selection of a generator for a home or summer cottage can be seen below.

First of all, you need to understand which consumers will be connected to the power plant. This is necessary to know for further calculation of the power of the power plant.

When choosing a generator for a private house, summer cottage or suburban area, you must first understand what sources of consumption will be connected to the station.

All sources of consumption are subdivided into:

- Active (omnic) - convert electricity into light or heat. They do not create inrush currents that are much higher than the rated ones. Example: incandescent lamps, electric tiles, household appliances, small household appliances (irons, hair dryers, kettles), electronic devices (TV, computer, office equipment).

- Reactive (inductive) - they have electric motors in the  High Quality Generator (3.5 Kva) structure, which at the time of start-up consume energy several times more than during the main operation. Example: lightly loaded consumers (jigsaws, drills, grinders), garden equipment, loaded consumers (pumps, air compressors, welding equipment, UPS, computer power supplies). For reactive consumers, part of the energy is spent on the formation of electromagnetic fields to create a rotating electromagnetic field, or to pump capacitors.

Having determined the consumers that are planned to be connected to the generator, it is necessary to add up the power of all devices planned to be connected at the same time. It is better to look at the power of each of the devices in the technical passport or in the table of the power of the devices (Fig. 2).

It is important to correctly classify electrical appliances and take into account when calculating their starting power.

Advice for those who are planning to buy a power plant: it is better to choose a power plant with a power reserve, because in the future, it is possible to connect a more powerful or additional consumer.

Knowing the required power, you can start selecting a generator for your home or summer cottage.

The question arises: should you choose a gasoline or diesel generator for your home?

If we compare them in price, then with the same power, diesel power plants are more expensive than gasoline ones. However, they have twice the resource.

Gasoline generators can be selected for backup, seasonal or emergency power supplies.

Gasoline power plants have a shorter resource, but are more convenient to use due to weight, size and noise level compared to diesel generators. Gas generators have less labor-intensive and simple maintenance.
