All About JCB Generators

A diesel generator is an energy device equipped with electric generators. The unit is used in places where there is a shortage of electricity: in secluded settlements without a conducted current, during the construction of buildings, as well as on farms.

JCB generators are characterized by improved build quality and advantages that are hidden in the design of the devices. They are as follows:

• automated fuel supply - no additional steps to pump fuel need to be performed;
• improved air filter, which is necessary when working in adverse conditions (abundance of dust, dirt);
• the main neck of the fuel compartment is made in the casing and has a locking mechanism for a key, there is a window for viewing the parameters of the operating generator;
• electrical equipment is provided by European manufacturers - giants of the world market;
• maximum protective measures: thermal insulation of heated parts, safe gas outlet hood, protection against electric shock on the emergency shutdown panel;
• emergency shutdown button of the unit;
• generators are delivered in three possible versions: delivery in a container, in a casing and a mobile version (on a tractor or automobile chassis).

Diesel model 140QS is a universal, small-sized device. Suitable for both back-up power during mains power outages and for construction sites where energy is needed for tools and lighting for construction.

The generator does not need to be in an isolated room, as it is supplied in a noise-suppressing casing. In addition, the kit includes a silencer for the operation of equipment in residential areas.

Technical information:

• power - 100 kW;
• standby power - 110 kW;
• fuel consumption at 50% / 100% / 110% power - 16 liters per hour / 29.6 liters per hour / 32.7 liters per hour;
• fuel tank capacity - 270 liters;
• technical dimensions of the power plant (in millimeters): 2850 (length) x 1140 (width) x 1850 (height).

The model is designed to provide power to construction sites and places that do not have access to the mains. In addition, the device is suitable for back-up power supply in case of power outages. The Volvo engine has an electronic speed control.

The standard configuration assumes the presence of an electric coolant heater, and the kit also includes a device for automated recharging of battery batteries from a 220 V network.

Technical information:

• power - 200 kW;
• standby power - 220 kW;
• fuel consumption at a power of 50% / 100% / 110% - 30.7 liters per hour / 53.8 liters per hour / 60.1 liters per hour;
• fuel tank capacity -394 liters;
• Technical dimensions of the power plant (in millimeters): 3050 (length) x 1030 (width) x 1589 (height).

For different purposes, it is necessary to individually select the generator. For an industrial scale, a device that operates at high speeds and has an impressive power of 1000 kW is suitable. For small secluded houses or as a backup, reserve source of energy, a small 300 kW generator is sufficient.

When choosing, attention should also be paid to the engine. Volvo and Mitsubichi are a proven option. But don't underestimate other brands that offer generators with the same quality as the market leaders.
