The power supply of a suburban area is often associated with certain difficulties. First, systematic power surges in the network, especially with intensive building in this "microdistrict".Secondly, if the land is allocated to a new, not inhabited place and mass construction is just beginning, then waiting until the industrial voltage appears is a waste of time. Thirdly, the elimination of damage, emergency situations on the line is not as fast as in the urban area. In such and similar situations, an autonomous source is a good solution to the problem.
Before determining the choice of generator for the dacha, you should find out what they are.
Gas
Advantages of
Noiselessness, economy, ability to work on both natural and liquefied gas.
The disadvantage of
Countryside areas are rarely gasified, except that only elite settlements. But they, in fact, can not be called dachas. In addition, if there is gas, then industrial power supply is precisely set. In other cases, you will need to use gas cylinders that need periodic refueling.
The price is from 11 980 rubles.
Conclusion
If there are no problems with delivery to the site of liquefied gas, then this is a good option. However, it is necessary to ask, on what fuel does the unit work? This is not a "clean" gas, but a propane-butane mixture, which, as a rule, is needed for such power generators. Therefore, without consulting a specialist can not do.
Petrol
The most common brand of used fuel is AI-92.
Advantages
Small dimensions, not much noise, can be easily started and operate at low temperatures. To ensure performance, you do not need a "powerful" battery. The cost is much lower than that of the "diesel".
Disadvantages of
A certain power limit and less life( before overhauling) than diesel engines. The time of continuous operation is largely determined by the ambient temperature, since the method of cooling gasoline generators is only air.
The price is from 3 250 rubles.
Conclusion
It is advisable to use to provide electricity to a small suburban site, during the construction work( not large-scale).Moreover, the fuel supply can be replenished from the tank of a personal car, since the AI-92 is used quite often.
Diesel
Advantages of
Can operate at critical temperatures for a long time( without stopping).They have increased power and increased engine life. Plus - economy.
Disadvantages of
Higher cost. In comparison with gasoline analogues - from 2 to 4 times.
The price is from 17 800 rubles.
Conclusion
Inverter
Relatively new type of power generators. They work both on the solaris and on gasoline.
Advantages of
Small size and weight. Rational fuel consumption. In comparison with diesel or gasoline generators, its savings can reach 45%.The peculiarity of the work is that a double voltage conversion is performed. First - variable to constant, and then - vice versa. This greatly alleviates all pulsations, therefore simultaneously( in some approximation) plays the role of a stabilizer. Electronics itself chooses the most optimal mode of energy consumption, which achieves significant savings.
Disadvantages
Actually, so far no one has claimed to such products.
The price is from 3990 rubles.
Conclusion
What to consider when choosing
Generator power
There can not be a single recommendation here. It should be noted that at the same time, electrical equipment will be turned on( for example, a refrigerator, a tile)?Each dacha has its own instruments. To their total power consumption, you need to add the necessary "reserve"( about ¾ of the calculated value), since there is also such a thing as "starting capacity".It is determined for products such as the same pumping stations. That's for these jumps( peak values) and you need to have a stock. By the way, lighting should also be taken into account.
Consumed "fuel"
By the type of fuel also there is no sense to advise - to whom as it is more convenient. We need to focus on economic feasibility, since the flow depends on the time of operation, and on the power, and on the frequency of switching.
The way to start
There are several options, so this is at the discretion of the user.
Manufacturer
The surest way to learn about the quality of products is to poll owners of related sites, relatives, acquaintances. Surely someone uses an autonomous source of electricity.
What and for how long the
warranty is given In addition, it is also important how technical support is provided. Where can I go for warranty service or repair? If the nearest service center is "far away", is it worth buying such a product? There is a great risk of being alone with the problem that has arisen.
