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.

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.
