All about single-phase gasoline generators

In areas where there are frequent interruptions in the operation of power lines, which are accompanied not only by power surges, but also by its further shutdown, residents should consider purchasing a generator. Among the large assortment of manufactured models, attention should be paid to gasoline options operating in one phase.

Single phase gasoline generators are designed to supply electricity to private homes and offices, clinics and trading platforms, and other enterprises. Models operating on one phase have a large assortment and differ in their power and housing design. Such devices are easy to operate and easy to connect, produce quiet operation that does not cause discomfort, and have economical fuel consumption. With the help of such devices, you can connect devices that operate with a voltage of 220 V.

• Among the 1-phase gasoline models, an electric generator can be distinguished. Makita EG2250A, which is equipped with a synchronous alternator and produces a maximum power of 2 kW. The engine type is four-stroke, and the volume is 210 cm3. The volume of the fuel tank is 15 liters with an air-cooled engine. The noise level is 95 dB. The device is started manually. The model is equipped with a fuel level indicator, the output constant current is 12 V, there is an automatic voltage regulator and a voltmeter. The generator has a compact size of 60/45 / 44.2 cm and weighs 49.8 kg.

• Gasoline generator Huter DY 4000LX with a power of 3 kW from a Japanese brand, it is made in an open design with an output voltage of 220 V per phase. The device is started using an electric starter. The frequency is 50 Hertz. The device is equipped with a brush alternator, during operation it makes almost no noise, its level is 68 dB. Single-cylinder engine type 4-pin. The capacity of the fuel tank is 15 liters, and the fuel consumption is 374 g / kWh. It is possible to connect an automatic reserve input. The model is very compact, measures 605/450/435 mm and weighs 45 kg. The manufacturer gives a 1 year warranty.

• Petrol model Mitsui Pover ECO ZM 10000 E is made in an open design and provides a voltage of 230 V on one phase. The device can be started using an electric starter. The power of the model is 10 kW. The fuel tank has a volume of 28 liters with a fuel consumption of 3.5 l / h. The volume of the two-cylinder engine is 420 cubic centimeters, and the number of revolutions is 3000 per minute. The type of engine cooling is air. During operation, the model emits a fairly loud sound, since it has a noise level of 82 dB. Its dimensions are 785/625/795 mm, and its weight is 135 kg.

• Gasoline Electric Generator Matari MX 11000E has a maximum power of 9 kW. The model is equipped with a synchronous alternator. The 4-contact engine has a volume of 439 cubic centimeters and operates with a capacity of 17 liters per second. The volume of the fuel tank is 23 liters with a fuel consumption of 2.3 l / h, which will ensure uninterrupted operation for about 10 hours. The type of engine cooling is air. The model is made in open design. It has such additional functions: automatic voltage regulator, fuel level indicator, display, hour meter and voltmeter. The panel has 2 sockets.The device is equipped with two wheels for more convenient transportation. The gas generator weighs 94 kilograms and measures 79 / 54.5 / 60.5 cm. The noise level is 72 dB at a distance of 7 meters.

• Gasoline Generator Model Mitsui Pover ZM 7500E with auto start from the Japanese brand has a rated power of 6 kW. The model is made in open design. The fuel tank has a volume of 28 liters with a fuel consumption of 2.8 liters per hour, which will provide autonomous operation for 10 hours. The engine displacement is 420 centimeters, its service life is increased by 2-63 times. During operation, the emission of harmful substances is minimized, there is no soot and carbon deposits on parts and spark plugs. Thanks to two wheels, transportation is more comfortable and convenient. The noise level is 82 dB at a distance of 7 meters.

The power plant weighs 93 kilograms and has dimensions of 68/51/54 cm. It produces the most accurate voltage with minimal deviations thanks to the copper winding of the motor. The manufacturer gives a 12 month warranty.

In order to choose the right model of a single-phase gasoline generator, you must first of all determine its power indicator... To do this, it is worth calculating the power of all electrical appliances that you need when connecting the backup power supply to the generator. To do this, you need to calculate the power of each device and add 30% to the total. This will be the power of your generator.

By design type, there are options for generators in an open or closed design.... Open types have a more budgetary cost, they cool the engine using air cooling, and make a fairly audible sound during operation. Housing models have a water-cooled engine and are quieter thanks to a closed metal structure.

Among the gasoline generators there are inverter models, which are capable of delivering voltage without minimal deviations. Thanks to this precision, especially sensitive devices such as a computer or medical equipment can be connected during standby operation. Such options look like lightweight blocks and resemble a suitcase, which is very convenient for transportation.

Models differ by starter type with manual start-up type, electric start and with auto-start. Manual start models have a lower cost, but some mechanical action is required to connect the generator to work. Models with electric start have a simpler principle, the device starts to work by turning the key in the ignition lock.
