Choosing a generator can be a hard decision as it comes with many factors you will have to consider. You will have to figure out how much power or wattage you would prefer to suit the amount you use up in your days and months. Be aware whilst shopping around how you wish to use the generator to select the best one to carry out your tasks. And know which fuel source you prefer to power it; do you like petrol or diesel better?

Here at IWS Generator, we stock heavy-duty diesel and petrol model generators to provide you with the most cost-efficient power and fuel equipped for any journey and occasion. 

With this in mind, its good to consider whether your use of the generators is for domestic or commercial use; we have model designs for those who desire a wattage suitable for hobbyists and leisure and models that suit labour and commercial use. Outdoor activities like camping, road trips or work on rugged terrain may allude to the desire for weatherproof generators and equipment. If you require a specialist generator for a specific industrial job, we are happy to supply those to our customers, as well as any backup power supplies they may need for home.

Extra products and investing in the latest equipment is also something to think about; we offer a variety of generators that connect to and are sensitive to electronics so that you can run computers, laptops or televisions from them if need be.

There are many ways to analyse the performance of a generator. Firstly, the most obvious is to measure how much power it is currently producing. Typically measured in Kilowatts, each generator model gives in its description an answer of the maximum and minimum wattage output that it regularly practices. Try to look closely at the product's effectiveness and overall functionality, the electrical mechanisms, and its recoil that starts the generator. 

Another way to measure the performance is to check the optimum run time. It states on the model in hours, often as either 50% or 100%. The run time refers to as the 'load time', and it is the duration of time that you can use the generator before it needs re-filling or re-fueling. If you are sensing that your vehicle or generator is not living up to these percentages, perhaps there is something wrong. Call us on our number or contact us via email at IWS Generator, and we will be happy to assist with your issues and give any necessary advice.

A generator converts mechanical or chemical energy into electric energy by forcing electric charges' movement and motion through the circuit. Older models of generators work by using the large volume of life that turbines have powered. The modernised generators use fuel to work, such as diesel and gas.

There are many parts of an electrical generator, such as the engine, battery charger, fuel system, alternator, voltage regulator, cooling and exhaust systems, lubrication system, control panel unit and the main assembly.
