GENERATORS
A petrol generator set is a portable spark-ignition engine coupled to an alternator for generating AC electrical power. Lighter, quieter, and lower in upfront cost than diesel gensets, petrol generators are used on Malaysian sites for small power loads, temporary lighting, power tool circuits, and on-site office power where grid access is impractical. Output 0.7–10 kVA; voltage 230 V single-phase (larger units 400 V three-phase); 50 Hz. Common engines: Honda GX, Robin EX, Briggs & Stratton. Inverter-type models produce clean sine-wave output (THD <3%) safe for computers, instruments, and sensitive electronics. Noise level 65–85 dB(A).
Typical pack size: Single unit; output range: 0.7 kVA to 10 kVA; common site size: 2.0–5.5 kVA
