Diesel Generators

For Best Prices and expert’s advice, call our friendly staff today! Our range of diesel generators include Cummins powered; Kubota powered as well as OEM powered generators which are designed to meet Australia’s standards. Single Phase generators and Three Phase generators are available to choose from. Kruger Power generators are designed to deliver reliability and efficiency. Every water-cooled generator diesel comes with 1,000 hours or 12 months warranty. We can also build synchronous diesel generators for large applications and for those who wanted to run their generators at all times without the likelihood of downtime. How much fuel do diesel generators use? It all depends on the load your diesel generator is under for example a 10 KVA at 25% load will use .9 Lt/hr, 50% load 1.2 Lt/hr, 75% 1.7 Lt/hr, 100% load 2.1 Lt/hr approximately, so if you use the figure of 1.5 Litres per Hour per 10KVA (3 litres per hour for 20 KVA and so on) you will be close. How many hours will a diesel generator last? Some diesel generators costing 2-3 times more than a Kruger power diesel generator can last up to 30,000 or fewer hours, with normal oil and filter changes a Kruger Power diesel generator can last beyond 20,000 Hours with lesser quality brand diesel generators lasting up to 10,000 hours. What Generator do I need to run an air conditioner? If you have a 10,000 BTU air conditioner it needs 1500 watts diesel generator to run it so you need about a 1.7KVA to run it correct? wrong! That air conditioner needs about 2200 watts to start it then 1500 watts to run it so you will need a 2.5KVA for this example. Starting watts v running watts Running, or rated watts are the continuous watts needed to keep items running. Starting watts are extra watts needed for two to three seconds to start motor-driven products like a refrigerator or circular saw, this is the maximum wattage the diesel generator can produce. What generator to run a house Homeowners can often use most household appliances between 3000 and 6500 watts. The 7-8 KVA generators are our most popular generators for home or solar back up use. How do diesel generators work? Diesel generators are the combination of a diesel engine and an alternator or electric generator which is used to generate electrical energy. It does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, diesel generators use the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it. Modern-day diesel generators operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
