Electricity generators are essential when access to the grid is unavailable, unstable, or simply insufficient. Whether for home backup, job sites, agriculture, or outdoor events, a generator guarantees reliable and independent power supply. At Könner & Söhnen, we offer electric generators engineered to deliver performance, efficiency, and safety in any situation.

What Is an Electric Generator and How Does It Work?

A power generator converts mechanical energy into electricity. The system consists of a combustion engine that drives an alternator, which in turn produces electric current. The engine runs on fuel—typically petrol, diesel, or gas—and supplies electricity to appliances and machines. Modern electricity generators come with built-in safety features like automatic voltage regulation and overload protection. These features ensure consistent voltage levels, which is essential for running sensitive electronics like computers, medical devices, or household appliances.

Types of Generators: Choosing the Right Model

Generators vary in design, capacity, and fuel type. Here's what you should know before choosing the right model:

By Fuel Type:

• Petrol generators – Ideal for occasional use; easy to operate.
• Diesel generators – Long-lasting and fuel-efficient; suited for continuous or professional use.
• Gas-powered generators – Quieter and eco-friendlier; lower emission levels.

By Power Output:

• Small models (1,000–3,000 watts): Enough to run basic appliances or tools.
• Medium-size (3,000–7,000 watts): Suitable for homes during blackouts.
• High-power units (7,000+ watts): Can power entire construction sites or large buildings.

By Design:

• Mobile generators – Compact and portable; often come with wheels and handles.
• Stationary generators – Fixed installations for homes, farms, or commercial settings.

Where Are Home Generators Used?

Könner & Söhnen generators are engineered to meet the energy needs of a wide variety of use cases:

•  Homes: Provide backup power during outages.
•  Construction sites: Power heavy tools and equipment.
•  Camping & travel: Run RVs, lights, and electronics off-grid.
•  Agriculture: Supply energy to pumps and farming machinery.
•  Events & markets: Run lighting, speakers, and food equipment outdoors.

Key Features of Modern Power Generators

Modern generators for home use and professional applications are packed with features that make them user-friendly, safe, and reliable:

•  Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) – Ensures stable output voltage.
•  Electric start – Start your generator easily with a button push.
•  Large fuel tanks – Longer run time with fewer refuels.
•  Multiple outlets – Power multiple devices at once.
•  Overload and low-oil protection – Prevent engine damage and downtime.

How to Choose the Best Generator for Your Needs

Follow these steps when selecting a generator:

1. Calculate your energy needs – List all devices and their wattage. Include starting wattage for appliances like fridges.
2. Choose a fuel type – Diesel for heavy-duty use, petrol for occasional needs, gas for quieter operation.
3. Pick the right size – Consider mobility (wheeled units) or permanent installations.
4. Check runtime – Select models with larger fuel tanks if you need long operation periods.
5. Mind the noise – In residential areas, choose quieter models with sound insulation.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Term Use

Maintaining your home generator extends its lifespan and ensures consistent performance. Regular tasks include:

• Oil changes every 50–100 hours.
• Air filter cleaning to prevent engine clogging.
• Spark plug checks for clean starts.
• Fuel system inspection to avoid blockages or damage.
• Dry storage if unused for extended periods.
