All About Japanese Generators

Modern household appliances are very diverse and necessary, so consumers are happy to buy them. But for its normal and long-term operation, a regular supply of electricity is required. Unfortunately, our power lines were built back in the distant Soviet times, so they are not designed for powerful equipment and sometimes do not withstand the load, and this provokes voltage drops and switching off the light. For the supply of backup electricity, many people purchase generators of various types.

The Japanese have always been distinguished by their ingenuity, so the production of generators was also at the highest level. The generators are easy to use, reliable and economical. They differ in energy efficiency and stability of the output current, they can work in any climatic conditions. They have a minimum noise level, so this device can be installed even on a balcony. A wide range of models allows you to use them both for construction needs and for home use, fishing.

One of the manufacturers of Japanese generators is Honda, which dates back to 1946.... Its founder was the Japanese engineer Soichiro Honda. It was originally a repair shop in Japan. Over time, the idea came to replace wooden knitting needles with metal ones, which brought the inventor to the first fame. Despite the fact that in 1945 the company was already slightly developed, it was badly damaged during the war and the earthquake. Soichiro Honda does not give up and invents the first moped. So, over the years, the company has developed, introducing various types of equipment into production. Already in our time, the brand is engaged in the production of both cars and various types of generators.

The most expensive model of this brand is a gasoline generator. Honda EP2500CXwhich has a cost of $ 17,400. The model is equipped with a professional grade engine. Simple and reliable, unpretentious, designed to supply backup electricity for both home use and industrial needs. The frame is made of strong steel, equipped with a fuel tank with a capacity of 15 liters. The economical resource of fuel consumption is 0.6 liters per hour. This is enough for continuous work up to 13 hours.

The process is very quiet and has a noise level of 65 dB. The device is started manually. The waveform is pure sinusoidal. The output voltage is 230 volts per phase. The rated power of the power plant is 2.2 W. The structure is open. The model is equipped with a 4-stroke engine with a volume of 163 cm3.

Yamaha began its history with the production of motorcycles and was founded in 1955... Year after year, the company expanded, launching boats and outboard motors. Improvements in engine technology, then motorcycles, scooters and snowmobiles, and generators made the company famous all over the world. The manufacturer's assortment includes various electric generators that run on diesel and gasoline, have a different type of performance (both closed and open). Designed for use both at home and in other industrial and construction institutions.

One of the most expensive models is a diesel power generator. Yamaha EDL16000E, which has a cost of $ 12,375. The model is designed for long-term operation, operates on one phase with an output voltage of 220 V. Its maximum power is 12 kW. Professional grade three-stroke engine with vertical position and forced water cooling. Started by means of an electric starter. A full 80 liter tank provides 17 hours of uninterrupted operation.

Overvoltage protection is provided, there is a fuel level indicator and an oil level control system, there is an hour meter and an indicator lamp. The model has dimensions of 1380/700/930 cm. For more convenient transportation it is equipped with wheels. The device weighs 350 kg.

To choose the right generator model, you must first of all determine its power. It depends on the power of the devices that you will turn on during the backup power supply. To do this, you need to add up the power parameters of all electrical equipment and add 30 percent for the stock to the total amount. This will determine the capacity of your generator model.

Since the models are different by type of fuel (it can be gas, diesel and gasoline), then it is also necessary to determine this criterion. Petrol models cheaper, but their fuel consumption is more expensive than other options. Gasoline-powered devices work quite quietly, which has a big plus in their convenient and comfortable use.

Diesel options are considered economical due to the price of their fuel, although the devices themselves, in comparison with gasoline ones, are very expensive. In addition, all diesel models are quite noisy in operation.

Concerning gas models, then they are the most expensive and most economical options.

Also, by design, there are devices open execution and in a casing. The former are cooled by air cooling and produce a louder sound. The latter are quite quiet, but they are more expensive.

As for brands, we can say that Japanese manufacturers are one of the best, they offer high quality products, value their reputation, constantly introduce new technologies... Their components and accessories are highly durable, therefore they are used even in European brands.
