Generator Price
« on: 15 February 2008, 17:26:08 »
Hire of a genereator for next weekend is as follows

3.4 kva = 40 quid including my discount and vat

4.0 kva = 56 quid including my discount and vat

I propose we have 2 x 3.4 kva's at 80 quid + the portaloo at 53 quid including vat. If everyone who is coming is willing to pay 4 quid each it will cover the cost of hiring them and i will get them delivered on Friday afternoon and picked up on Monday morning.

Your thoughts please

If we're going to be welding one big generator (pref. diesel) will be a much better bet than 2 small ones.

just a quick question about running stuff off a generator The camera gear i am bringing to film the different jobs is sensitive stuff what are generator's like for voltage spikes i dont want to knack my gear up as i have just gotten it 2 days ago. and would cost a good few thousand to replace.

If welding is going to be done ill not run my stuff off the generator

I could run it off and invertor i have but i dont want to end up with a flat battery.

A generator will be MUCH cleaner than an inverter. I'd say avoid having it plugged in when welding, power tools, etc. in use but when the gennie is just powering a bit of lighting it should be fine.

Also, the reasoning behind a big generator is that ideally one that can power a welder plus a bit of lighting will do a better job. Otherwise, if you strike an arc with a welder whle the generator is unloaded, it won't respond quickly enough to the sudden increase in load (it has to increase throttle to maintain speed and that takes time) If it's got a bit of lighting load on it (and, being bigger, has more momentum and a bigger flywheel) it will already be loaded and won't struggle as much.

Same principle applies with my geeky ham radio activities when trying to power a transmitter that takes a kW or two on voice peaks. :y
