45 kVA Perkins generator South Africa
45 kVA Perkins diesel power configured for the real site load.
GenTech SA supplies the 45 kVA Perkins diesel generator around the confirmed Perkins engine specification and the requirements of the application. Correct sizing should consider running kW, starting current, power factor, altitude, operating hours and the equipment that must remain powered during a mains failure.
Automatic mains failure & solar backup
ATS / automatic changeover is included as standard for mains-failure operation. Where the site control system requires it, the generator can also be configured to support a solar and battery installation for load support or battery charging.
Perkins service, repairs & parts support
GenTech SA supports generator sets with scheduled servicing, repairs, fault finding, replacement parts and technical assistance. Service access, operating conditions and long-term support should be considered when planning the complete installation.
Is 45 kVA the correct size?
The generator rating alone is not enough to confirm suitability. Motors, pumps, compressors, refrigeration and machinery can create high starting currents, while altitude and power factor can reduce operating margin. GenTech SA can review the load before quotation.
Canopy, alternator & custom configuration
VOLTAZZ is the standard alternator on the GenTech SA Perkins range. Mecc Alte and Leroy-Somer can be quoted as upgrades. Open-type, sound-attenuated and project-specific enclosure arrangements can be considered according to the application.
South Africa & African export supply
GenTech SA welcomes Perkins generator enquiries throughout South Africa and selected African export markets. Transport, off-loading, installation and project requirements are confirmed according to the generator size and destination.
