Generators: information and considerations

A useful device to keep you supplied with power if there is load shedding or if you want this to be your primary source of power. A UPS would run out of battery eventually; your Perkins Generator will keep going till you can supply it with fuel. A large enough generator could run your whole home, including heavier appliances such as ACs and fridges.

The higher the kVAs the more power a generator can produce. There are some that have a self-starting feature as well, this is useful as one does not need to turn on their generator manually each time the power drops. It will switch on and off automatically. 

Fuel variations have their pros and cons. Diesel engines are the most robust but also make the most noise. Petrol is comparatively quieter but is a high-cost machine to run. Gas is the most quiet but the engine has more chances of having mechanical issues. These can be avoided with regular maintenance though.

What fuel one chooses their Perkins generator to be is a matter of what fuel is easily available to them and also their feasibility. The noise can also be mitigated with soundproof versions fo generators but these cost a substantial amount more.
