Question 1

What's the difference between the prime and standby rating?

Accepted Answer

The standby rating is the maximum power this generator can supply during a utility outage, for the duration of the outage, with no planned load increase. The prime rating is the maximum continuous power it can supply as the primary power source. For backup power during load-shedding or grid outages, the standby rating is what matters most.

Question 2

Does this generator include an automatic transfer switch (ATS)?

Accepted Answer

An ATS is not included as standard with this unit. If you need automatic switchover from grid power to generator power, let us know when you request a quote and we'll recommend a compatible ATS for your installation.

Question 3

Is installation included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Installation is not included in the listed price. We can put you in touch with installers, or your own electrician can complete the installation and connection to your distribution board or automatic transfer switch.

Question 4

How long can this generator run on a full tank?

Accepted Answer

With its 103 L fuel tank and consumption of roughly 8.7 L/hr at 75% load, this unit can run for approximately 11.8 hours before refuelling.
