The Latest Generator Options and Ideas for Your Property

It’s reassuring to know how generators can back us up, in case of some unexpected power interruptions. For various purposes, generators are effective units which provide extra sources of electricity in homes, commercial buildings and industrial establishments. Upon choosing the model which can best fit your required applications, it is equally necessary for you to have a professional electrician who can seamlessly install your unit into your property.

Interestingly, home generators are being made more affordable among owners. In case they need some high powered energy support, they can always pick among the widely available units in the market today. One example would be the models of Generac.

Generac has two technologies that make installing an automatic home backup generator easier and more affordable for homeowners.

Generac’s Smart Management Modules (SMM) are a load management system that allow homeowners to purchase a lower kilowatt automatic backup power system that fits within their budget, while the new 16 circuit NEMA 3R rated automatic transfer switch helps reduce installation costs for customers with an electrical panel located outside the home.

The Smart Management Modules and 16 circuit NEMA 3R transfer switch ensure that automatic backup power systems are available for all homeowners.

Smart Management Module (SMM)

Generac’s new Smart Management Modules (SMM) are a load management system that manages backup power to essential circuits identified by the homeowner, and autonomously pushes available power to non-essential circuits, as it becomes available. The Smart Management Modules are wire-free, which makes them easier to install since no control wires are required, and helps lower installation costs. Up to eight Smart Management Modules can be installed with a compatible automatic transfer switch, to manage power loads.

The Smart Management Module technology is protected in a NEMA 3R weather-proof enclosure, making each unit compatible for indoor and outdoor installations. Additional features include an LED indicator light, which allows homeowners to verify which essential circuits are receiving power, as well as a lockout switch that prevents unwanted operation of circuits while operating on generator power.

New 16 Circuit Weather-Proof Automatic Transfer Switch

The new 16 circuit NEMA 3R rated automatic transfer switch is weather-proof, and can withstand high winds, rain, and winter storms. Electrical circuits are protected by an aluminum corrosion-resistant enclosure, and it accepts breakers from multiple manufacturers. Power can be provided to up to 16 essential circuits in a home by using this new transfer switch and customers can expand their backup coverage to 24 circuits, through the use of tandem breakers. Prior to these options, homeowners without a basement or interior utility closet had to purchase a costly, custom-built subpanel that could be installed outside the home.

There are lots of generators at this size, but only a handful of quality brands that deliver the level of tough power, reliability and value you really want. It is not recommended that you choose a cheap, Chinese import style generator for regular operation to run equipment on the job or farm site…you want a quality, reliable Australian-assembled genset that is backed by a solid warranty and supported by a national service support network.

1. Powerlite 8kVA Petrol Generator powered by Honda

This Powerlite 8kVA generator brings together a whole host of rugged features; built and tested by Australia’s leading manufacturer of trade generator sets, this workhorse is tough to the core. The robust Honda GX390 4-stroke engine features a recoil or optional electric start to drive a totally maintenance free brushless alternator. The result is a continuous output of 6800 watts – enough for a range of appliances around the jobsite or farm. And it’s all packed into one tough, fully welded steel roll-over frame complete with heavy-duty anti vibration mounts.

This unit comes as standard, or can be purchased as a Workcover Approved model which includes the necessary work cover safety features such as earth leakage protection and weatherproof outlets. Other optional accessories for the standard model include 18 litre long range fuel tank and wheel & handle kit.

Backed by a 3-year Honda engine warranty and 2-year generator warranty, Powerlite use Italian Made Mecc Alte alternators; considered one of the world leading alternator manufacturers. Powerlite is a trusted Australian generator manufacturer with over 50 years’ experience and their 8kVA unit is one of our best-selling portable generators.

2. Gentech Petrol 8kVA powered by Honda

Again, the legendary Honda GX390 engine delivers reliable power complete with exceptional fuel economy. Add to that the 6.5-litre engine and recoil start, and it’s no surprise the generator runs for almost three hours straight at 80% load.

There is also double GPO 15 Amp outlets and optional add-ons, like the long-range fuel tank, wheel kit, wheelbarrow kit and lifting bar kit. Finish the package with a 2-year warranty and you’ve got a high-performance Honda GX390 generator that’ll last you for years to come.

3. Crommelins 8.5kVA powered by Subaru

The Crommelins 8.5kVA petrol generator is built to thrive in harsh conditions. Powered by a world-class Subaru petrol engine, this powerhouse packs a massive 6,800 watts of running power into a neat package. Housed in a robust heavy-duty frame, this generator is a popular choice in the hire industry, with Crommelins being a multiple time winner of the HRIA (Hire and Rental Industry Association) Supplier of the Year Award.

This unit comes with a 2 year generator warranty, 3 year Subaru engine warranty and is backed by the Crommelins national service support network. This genset is often purchased as a WorkCover Approved model for suitability on larger jobsites as it comes with a comprehensive suite of extras including the necessary safety features, plus lifting bar, wheel & handle kit and earth stake. Again, quite similar to the Powerlite and Gentech options, but the Crommelins model has a slightly thicker roll over frame which you’ll pay slighter more for overall.

These reviews and product information should guide you in choosing an applicable generator for your property. What’s additionally important would be how your chosen unit would be best installed. Be sure to speak with an expert electrician, so the components of your circuitry would be well evaluated and seamlessly merged with your new generator. Fail Safe Electric is a team of electricians which ensure the highest quality of work in every project they handle.
