Honda offers stability
Honda’s portable generator range includes models with outputs from 1000 to 6500 watts, from the very lightweight Handy line-up through to the larger EM65
model. The latest additions include the EG3600, EG4500 and EG5500 mid-range, open-frame generators, which will be available in the UK from December, and which were reviewed in our July/August issue. They incorporate a new digital automatic voltage regulator (D-AVR) for smoother and more efficient output, similar to that delivered by an inverter generator. The EG range deliver similar power outputs to Honda’s EC open-frame
generators, but give the extra voltage stability needed to power more sensitive equipment like a laptop, or in particular situations such as when an operator wants to run power tools and an incandescent lamp in tandem. Key controls like the start switch, manual choke, fuel valve and power outlet are located on the outlet panel for ease of use, and the machines are designed for low noise levels.

AJC Power Solutions, which manufactures the Easycabin range of welfare units, also has a specialist power division that can design solutions for specific applications, especially where backup power or standby supplies are required. The range includes long-run diesel
generators that can start themselves up within seconds when normal supplies fail, through the use of an automatic transfer switch. This can ensure smooth and continuous operation of lights and appliances, computer systems and servers, heating equipment and alarms, and emergency support systems.

Pramac offers hirers flexibility
Pramac’s temporary power solutions include generators with outputs from 1-2600kVA that are suitable for use in virtually all conditions, from the tropics to the Arctic Circle.Wayne Steele, MD of Pramac UK Ltd says, “Our customers are increasingly looking at building flexibility into their stock holding. One solution we are offering is the use of an advanced Comap control panel, which allows users to synchronise up to 32 generators. Instead of purchasing one 1mVA unit, they can buy two 500kVA generators and have flexibility of supply, with real cost savings. The user can then expand their fleet, mixing and matching outputs as and when required by customers.” Pramac can supply these systems with various engine and alternator options, including Perkins,
Volvo and Deutz, and MTU, Stamford and Mecc Alte.The UK operation also currently stocks Power on Rent generators of up to 200kVA for the professional hire market, in addition to the popular 3,000rpm petrol and diesel Power Systems line-up.

ArcGen Hilta has recently experienced what it describes as “exceptional” growth in enquiries for its pink DCA ultra silent generators since their introduction to the events market. The 20kVA DCA25USEI model has been used, for example, at the London International Triathlon, the V Festival and the Burghley Horse Trials, and the company says the machines are becoming more popular for events like these, as well as on construction sites in residential areas, due to their quiet operation. The generators produce an average sound level of 50dB(A) at 7m.
The DCA25USEI has a 92-litre fuel tank, while the 37kVA DCA45USEI offers a 170-litre capacity. The generators can provide between 8-16 hours of continuous operation and they have fully bunded tanks to prevent any risk of oil or water seeping into the surrounding area. A comprehensive monitoring system is incorporated, and the
generators are designed to provide quick voltage recovery in response to load variations. All instruments are located on the same side as the alternator, and side door access panels facilitate maintenance. The machines will be demonstrated on ArcGen Hilta’s stand at the Showman’s Show on 20 and 21 October at the Newbury Showground.
