Sockets & Inputs — Front Panel at a Glance

  • 2 × 240V 32A (CEE) High-draw appliances / distribution boards.
  • 2 × 120V 32A Low-voltage tool circuits (site use).
  • Control Unit (ATS-ready) Interface for auto-start & monitoring.

Running vs. Starting Watts — Know the Difference

  • Running watts = power to keep equipment operating.
  • Starting watts = brief surge to start motors/compressors.

Why Choose a Diesel Generator?

  • Fuel efficiency — lower consumption per kWh vs petrol.
  • Durability — engines built for heavy duty cycles.
  • Lower running cost — typically reduced cost per kWh.
  • High torque — excels with motor/compressor loads.

Tips for Choosing the Right Generator

  • Total your running watts for everything you’ll use together.
  • Identify the largest starting surge (motors/AC/compressors) and keep headroom.
  • Match outlets & amps — 32A sockets ≈ 7. 4 kW each at 230/240V.
  • Plan installation — use ATS/transfer switch and a qualified electrician.

Appliance Examples

  • Fridge-Freezer 012,800W Run ≈ 180–200W | Start ≈ 800–1200W
  • Microwave 012,800W Run ≈ 1000–1200W | Start ≈ Same
  • Circular Saw (7¼") 012,800W Run ≈ 1200–1800W | Start ≈ 1800–2400W
  • Air Compressor (≈3 HP) 012,800W Run ≈ 2200–2600W | Start ≈ 5000–6500W
  • Welder (≈200–250A inverter) 012,800W Run ≈ 5.5–6.5kW | Start ≈ 6.5–7.0kW
  • Typical values — always check device labels. Respect socket limits (e.g., 32A at 230/240V ≈ 7.4 kW per outlet) and balance loads across outputs.
  • Typical values — always check device labels. Respect socket limits (e. g. , 32A at 230/240V ≈ 7. 4 kW per outlet) and balance loads across outputs.

Guide only — add up running watts for items used together, then ensure the single highest starting surge and per-socket amps stay within limits.

Can I Run More at Once with 12 kW Running?

Yes. Higher capacity means more simultaneous loads. With 12 kW running you can power, for example:

  • Home backup: fridge + freezer + broadband + lighting + TV + microwave + kettle (stagger heat loads).
  • Site cabin: heaters + lights + sockets + kettle; split across the two 240V 32A outlets.
  • Workshop: welder (180–200A) + lights + chargers; start compressor separately.

Use a proper transfer switch/ATS for premises. Consult a qualified electrician for connection and load balancing.
