Varieties of DAEWOO generators and their operation

Currently, there are a lot of electrical appliances that are necessary for our comfortable life. These are air conditioners, electric kettles, washing machines, refrigerators, water heaters. All this technique consumes an enormous amount of energy. Since the power lines are not designed for this kind of load, power surges and sudden blackouts sometimes occur. For a backup supply of electricity, many people purchase generators of various types. One of the companies producing these goods is the Daewoo brand.

Daewoo is a South Korean brand founded in 1967. The company is engaged in the production of electronics, heavy industry and even weapons. Among the range of generators of this brand there are gasoline and diesel, inverter and dual-fuel options with the possible connection of ATS automation. The company's products are in demand all over the world. It is characterized by reliable quality, developed according to new technologies, and is focused on long-term operation.

Petrol options provide quiet operation at an affordable price. The assortment is very large, there are solutions that differ in price and execution. Among the gasoline models, there are inverter options that produce high-precision current, make it possible to connect especially sensitive devices, for example, a computer, medical equipment, and much more, during a backup power supply.

Diesel options has a rather high cost compared to gasoline, but they are economical in operation due to the cost of fuel. Dual-fuel models combine two types of fuel: gasoline and gas, make it possible to switch them from one type to another, depending on the need.

Let's take a look at some of the best solutions from the brand.

The gasoline model of the Daewoo GDA 3500 generator has a maximum power of 4 kW with a voltage of 220 V on one phase. The special four-stroke engine with a volume of 7.5 liters per second has a service life of more than 1,500 hours. The volume of the fuel tank is 18 liters, which makes it possible to work autonomously without recharging the fuel for 15 hours. The tank is covered with a special paint that prevents corrosion.

The control panel has a voltmeter that monitors the output current parameters and warns in case of deviations. A special air filter removes dust from the air and protects the engine from overheating. There are two 16 amp outlets on the control panel. The frame of the model is made of high-strength steel. The noise level is 69 dB. The device can be put into operation manually.

Diesel generator Daewoo DDAE 6000 XE has a power of 60 kW. The engine displacement is 418 cc. Differs in high reliability and efficiency even at the highest temperatures, and all thanks to the air cooling system. The volume of the tank is 14 liters with a diesel consumption of 2.03 l / h, which is enough for 10 hours of continuous operation. The device can be started both manually and with the help of an automatic start system. The noise level at a distance of 7 meters is 78 dB.

A multifunctional display is provided, which shows all the parameters of the generator.There is also a built-in electric starter and an on-board battery, which make it possible to start the device by turning the key. Additionally, there is an automatic system for removing air plugs, one hundred percent copper alternator, economical fuel consumption... For easy transportation, the model is equipped with wheels.

The Daewoo GDA 5600i inverter petrol generator has a power of 4 kW and an engine capacity of 225 cubic centimeters. The volume of the metal tank made of high-strength steel is 13 liters, which will provide continuous autonomous operation for 14 hours at a load of 50%. The device is equipped with two 16 amp outlets. The noise level during operation is 65 dB. The gas generator has a voltage indicator, smart overload protection, oil level sensor. The alternator has one hundred percent winding. The generator weighs 34 kg, its dimensions are: length - 55.5 cm, width - 46.5 cm, height - 49.5 cm. The manufacturer gives a 1 year warranty.

To choose the right model from the range of a given brand, you must first determine the power of the model. To do this, you need to calculate the power of all devices that will work during the backup connection of the generator. It is necessary to add 30% to the sum of the power of these devices. The resulting amount will be the power of your generator.

To determine the type of fuel of the device, you should know some of the nuances. Gasoline models are the cheapest in terms of cost, they always have the largest assortment, they give out quiet operation. But due to the high cost of gasoline, the operation of such devices looks expensive.

Dual-fuel options include gas and petrol. Depending on the situation, you need to decide which type of fuel will be preferred. As for gas, it is the cheapest type of fuel, its operation will not affect your budget. In gasoline versions, there are inverter types that produce the most accurate voltage required by certain types of equipment. You will not achieve this figure from any other generator model.

By the type of execution there are open and closed options. Open versions are cheaper, the engines are air-cooled and emit a noticeable sound during operation. Closed models are equipped with a metal case, have a rather high cost, and provide quiet operation. The engine is liquid cooled.

By the type of device startup there is options with manual start, electric start and autonomous activation. Manual start is the simplest, with just a couple of mechanical steps. Such models will not be expensive. Devices with electric start are switched on by turning the key in the electric ignition. Models with auto start are very expensive, as they do not require any physical effort. When the main power is cut off, the generator is switched on by itself.

During the operation of any type of generator, various breakdowns and malfunctions may come to light that require repair. If the warranty period is still valid, repairs should be carried out only at service centers that cooperate with the brand. At the end of the warranty period, do not repair yourself if you do not have special skills and qualifications. It is better to contact specialists who will do their job well.
