Advice on Generator Application
The Evolution Generator is suitable for powering
appliances up to a maximum load of 2400W
(the Continuous Power Rating of the Generator).
The generator is a self exciting 2 pole generator,
designed to operate with single phase loads at or
near a power factor of 1.0.
Some appliances that contain timing devices or
speed sensitive motors etc, may not be suitable
for connection to a generator. Computers,
laptops, LCD televisions and any similar sensitive
electronic devices should not be connected to
this generator.
The operator should always consult the
appliance handbook to determine the suitability
of any particular appliance.
If using the generator to provide power for a
motor home, caravan, boat etc always refer
to the manufacturers manual regarding the
suitability of a generator for such an application.
Do not connect this generator into a house
ring main.
Do not allow bystanders or children to have
access to the generator or any cables to or from
the generator and connected appliances.
Keep all animals and pets etc away from the
generator and connected appliances.
Caution: The operator must ensure that the
power requirement of any appliance(s) to be
connected does not exceed the maximum
continuous rating of the generator as found on
the machines rating plate.
Any device which contains an inductive load
(i.e. appliances that contain a motor, capacitors,
fluorescent light fittings etc.) may draw additional
current (to that specified on the machines rating
plate). The diagram below indicates a voltage
spike induced by the 'start-up' of a motor.
250V
245V
240V
235V
230V
225V
220V
Note: A voltage spike could typically last for
approximately 1/20th of a second on start up
of a motor driven machine.
Some electrical equipment may have the
Power Factor listed on the Rating Label.
The Power Factor may be regarded as a
measure of electrical efficiency of the device.
The Power Factor scale varies from 0 to 1, with
0.1 equalling 10% efficiency, 0.2 equalling 20%
efficiency etc. A Power Factor of 1 would mean
the device has an efficiency of 100%.
The Power Factor of such devices should be
taken into account when assessing their suitability
for connection to the generator. If in doubt contact
the appropriate Technical Help Resource.
