What are generators? 

Generators are devices that generate electricity in places where there is no access to the power grid, or as a backup power source in the event of an emergency. They are indispensable in emergency situations, on construction sites, at outdoor events or in single-family homes that need an independent power source. 

What are the types of generators? 

  • Petrol generators - the most popular and widely used generators that run on petrol. They are ideal for short-term applications such as powering tools on a construction site or emergency power at home. 
  • Hybrid units - modern solutions that can run on both petrol and gas (LPG, CNG). They offer greater versatility and the ability to choose a more economical or available fuel, depending on your needs. 

How do you choose the right generator? 

  1. Application and power: Consider what you will be using the genset for. If you need it to power tools on a building site or as a backup power source at home, Extralink EGP-3000 is a good choice. This petrol genset offers enough power to run basic appliances in emergency situations. 
  1. Fuel type and economy: If you are looking for a more versatile solution that allows you to choose between petrol and gas, consider Extralink EGH-5500. This hybrid unit can run on both petrol and gas (LPG, CNG), which gives greater flexibility and can be more economical, especially in the long term. 
  1. Mobility and ease of transport: If you plan to move a genset from place to place, pay attention to its weight and design. Lighter petrol models, are easier to transport and ideal for mobile applications. 
  1. Operating time and tank capacity: Consider how long you will need power for. Gensets with larger fuel tanks, can run for longer periods without the need for frequent refuelling, which is important during prolonged power failures. 
  1. Ease of use and commissioning: Choose a genset that is easy to use and starts quickly. Models with electric start or a simple start mechanism may be more practical, especially in emergency situations.
