Important Operating Information

Generator ratings are published under defined reference conditions. The actual power available can be affected by altitude, ambient temperature, ventilation, power factor and the type of electrical load.

Prime Power (PRP) is intended for applications where the electrical load changes during operation, such as factories, offices, homes, farms and general backup power.

Continuous / Base Load Power (COP) applies where the generator carries a steady or sustained load for long periods, such as load-bank operation, battery or solar charging, pumps and other continuous-duty applications. These applications may require additional generator capacity.

GenTech SA considers the site location, operating conditions and type of load when recommending the correct generator size.

Product photographs are representative. Canopy design and configuration may vary according to generator size, application and availability.

150 kVA FAW generator South Africa

Built around the load, site and operating requirement.

A 150 kVA generator should be selected around the equipment it must support, not only the nameplate kVA. GenTech SA can review running load, motor and compressor starting current, operating hours, fuel autonomy, mains-failure requirements and solar or battery integration before quotation.

Typical applications

The 150 kVA FAW range can be considered for appropriately sized commercial, industrial, agricultural, residential, hospitality and standby-power loads. Final suitability depends on the actual connected equipment and starting characteristics.

Mains failure & solar backup

GenTech SA can configure the generator for automatic mains-failure operation or integration with a solar and battery system. The generator controller, ATS and site controls are considered as part of the complete operating sequence.

Parts, service & technical support

Long-term serviceability matters. GenTech SA supports supplied generator sets with scheduled servicing, repairs, technical assistance and generator parts after delivery.

Frequently asked questions

About the 150 kVA FAW diesel generator

Is automatic changeover included with the 150 kVA FAW generator?

Yes. GenTech SA includes an ATS / automatic changeover switch as standard for automatic mains-failure operation.

Can this 150 kVA generator be used with solar and batteries?

Yes. It can be configured for solar-backup operation where the site control system calls the generator to support the load or charge the battery system when required.

Is 150 kVA the right size for my load?

That depends on the running load and the starting characteristics of motors, pumps, compressors, refrigeration and other equipment. GenTech SA can review the application before quotation.

Do you deliver 150 kVA FAW generators outside Gauteng?

Yes. Nationwide delivery enquiries are welcome. Transport is quoted according to the generator size, destination and off-loading requirements. GenTech SA also handles selected export enquiries.
