Generators ~ water cooled, sound proofed

Electricity / Power Generators ~ Diesel or LPG

Generators can be either diesel or LPG driven. Genkit's generators can be installed as stand-alone backup units that manually or auto-start when required, eg. when normal grid power is lost. Or the generator may be part of a stand alone system, where it auto-starts to charge a battery bank, or supplement power if solar or wind energy is lost.

For Generating Emergency, or Back-up Power

When it comes to emergency power, generators can play a pivotal role as a back-up system when the electricity fails

Genkit Nelson has built a solid reputation for clean, reliable, long-lasting engines, and generating sets.

Rating Definitions to ISO 8528-1

Rating Conditions
A standard generating set is designed to operate in environmental conditions not exceeding an air inlet temperature of 25 C (77 F), altitude (above sea level) 152.4 metres (500 feet) and a relative humidity of 60%.

Prime Power
This rating is for the supply of continuous electrical power (at variable load) in lieu of commercially purchased power. There is no limitation on the annual hours of operation and 10% overload power can be supplied for 1 hour in 12 hours.

Standby Power
This rating is for the supply of continuous electrical power (at variable load) in the event of a utility power failure. No overload is permitted.
