Find a Generator Manufacturer or Supplier
To ensure you get the best results from your new generator, it is very important that you do not under power! It is best to have an understanding of the appliances you wish to operate and their power requirements. Electric motors consume approximately 3 times the needs of the appliance for start up, so make sure you check the name plate to calculate the requirements.

Want a Great Deal on a Generator?
Buy or Rent petrol and diesel generators by Type
Standard (Condenser type): The standard generator with a Condenser type voltage control is suitable for power tools and resistive loads such as a kettle, a toaster, lights and other equipments that do not require great accuracy of power supply. A simple and low maintenance design for basic equipment.
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation): Commonly used when power is required for more sensitive equipment and when the generator will be used to start electric motors. AVR provides a more stable voltage output to compensate for the variation in voltage from load changes.
Inverter (Electronic voltage control): Mostly used with sensitive equipment such as computers, the inverter control system maintains an extremely high accuracy level of voltage and frequency fluctuation with very low wave distortion. This system also allows the engine speed to automatically adjust in a direct proportion to the load applied, maximizing fuel efficiency, while maintaining 240v (50 cycles) supply.
Looking for a Generator Choosing Fuel Type?
2 stroke Generator- the price are relatively cheap, but be prepared for some minor set-backs of 2 strokes - more noise, more fuel consumption, smelly exhaust fumes, and plugs fouling
4 stroke Generator - smaller generators are 4 stroke and all of the mid-priced generators are 4 stroke.
Diesel Generator - these are only available from 2kVA and up, the advantages are less fuel consumption than petrol and it means that you can have the same fuel for vehicle and for the generator. It also eliminates the explosive hazard of petrol.
LPG Generator - only available for few models of generators.
Modified Square Wave Inverter. If you convert the generator output to DC, then you can run the engine at any speed that provides enough power. The internal DC is converted to AC at 240 volts and 50Hz using a totally electronic Inverter. If you have no load on the Generator it will run at idle, so if you now connect a heavy load, the engine needs to go to full rpm to provide enough power, but that can’t happen instantly. That’s why Inverter Generators have the option to switch off Eco or Smart Throttle, to run the generator at high revs, even with no load. Simple low-cost inverters don't give a pure sinewave output like mains 240 volt, but their modified square-wave output is good enough for most appliances.
Sine Wave Inverter Most small Inverter Generators go to the additional cost of using a Sinewave Inverter. This means that appliances that have timers in them or that are confused by non-sinewave outputs will work correctly. It’s hard to predict whether a particular appliance will need sinewave output e.g. some Notebook computer power supplies will work perfectly on modified squarewave, whereas another may overheat and damage the Notebook's battery.
12 Volt Only. If you don’t have any 240 volt appliances and just need a source of more 12 volt power to keep your batteries fully charged, then there is an Australian -made petrol-driven generator which only provides a regulated 12 volt output.
