Generators BlackStone

The BlackStone power generators produce electrical energy for homes, workshops, construction sites, agricultural activities and locations without connection to the mains network. The range includes solutions for powering tools, lighting systems, household appliances and electronic equipment, as well as models designed to intervene during power outages. The BlackStone brand operates in the development, import and European distribution of equipment for gardening, agriculture, construction, home and leisure. Over the years, it has expanded its catalogue and distribution network, addressing both hobby users and professionals. The administrative offices are located in Petrognano, near Spoleto, where the central workshop dedicated to after-sales assistance is also located. Choosing a BlackStone generator can be oriented among the following types:

• BlackStone inverter power generators: produce stable current, suitable for computers, televisions and devices equipped with electronic components. Electronic engine speed control helps optimise consumption according to the connected load and reduces operating noise;
• BlackStone petrol power generators: suitable for domestic use, outdoor work and temporary interventions. The range includes models with different power ratings, socket configurations and starting systems;
• BlackStone diesel power generators: meet the needs of users looking for high power output and extended working sessions. Available in single-phase or three-phase configurations, with electric start and different equipment depending on the model;
• BlackStone Automatic Start power generators: use a compatible ATS panel to detect mains failure and activate the generator. When power returns, the system transfers the load back to the mains and stops the engine according to the configured settings;

On AgriEuro it is possible to select BlackStone power generators according to their technical features, in order to identify the model suitable for the appliances to be powered and the frequency of use. Before choosing, it is necessary to calculate the total load and consider the starting power absorption generated by motors, pumps, compressors and electric tools.

• Rated power and maximum power: rated power indicates the load that can be supplied during normal operation; maximum power refers to temporary peaks. Sizing must therefore be based on rated power, leaving a margin for initial power absorption;
• Fuel type: petrol engines are suitable for temporary, domestic or mobile applications; diesel engines are recommended for longer operating sessions and higher power requirements. Fuel type, tank capacity and declared consumption affect operating autonomy;
• Inverter technology or AVR regulation: inverter technology electronically reconstructs the output waveform and is suitable for powering sensitive equipment. The AVR regulator stabilises the voltage of conventional generators, but it is not equivalent to an inverter system;
• Single-phase or three-phase current: single-phase models power 230 V appliances and cover numerous domestic and craft applications. Three-phase models are intended for 400 V users and require correct load balancing across the phases;
• Starting system: recoil starting uses a self-retracting pull cord; electric starting uses a battery and a key or dedicated control. On compatible models, the ATS panel adds automatic start-up following mains failure;
• Configuration and transport: frame, wheels, handles, weight and panels affect movement and component protection. Wheeled models simplify transport, while silenced versions reduce noise propagation compared with similar open configurations;

The range includes models for hobby, semi-professional and professional levels. A hobby model can power small tools or appliances during occasional activities; higher power ratings and equipment levels meet the needs of workshops, construction sites and agricultural businesses. For emergency systems connected to buildings, sizing and installation must be entrusted to a qualified technician.

The BlackStone range includes generators differentiated by power generation technology, fuel type and starting method. The four families meet needs ranging from powering electronic devices to supplying energy for tools and systems. The choice requires a combined evaluation of power, voltage, autonomy, noise level and operating frequency.

BlackStone inverter power generators are designed to produce stable electrical output through an electronic conversion process. This configuration makes them suitable for computers, televisions, communication devices and equipment fitted with electronic boards. The engine can adjust its speed according to the required power, with positive effects on consumption and noise levels at partial loads. The compact dimensions of many models facilitate transport between homes, campers, work areas and outdoor spaces. However, the choice must consider rated power, number of sockets and the starting current of connected loads. An appliance with an electric motor may require higher power during start-up than the value indicated for continuous operation. Inverter technology does not replace the protections specified in the manual and does not allow operation in enclosed environments.

• Power quality: the electronic system produces a regular waveform, also suitable for many sensitive devices. However, voltage, frequency and required power must always be checked according to the connected appliance;
• Variable engine speed: the RPM can adapt to the applied load instead of always remaining at maximum speed. This adjustment reduces consumption and noise when electrical demand is low;
• Transport: compact structure, panels and handles facilitate movement in portable models. Weight and dimensions vary according to power output and must be checked on the individual product page;

BlackStone petrol power generators cover domestic, agricultural, craft and construction applications with different power levels. They are suitable for occasional or periodic work, such as powering tools away from the mains, providing lighting in temporary structures or supporting certain users during a power outage. The range includes open-frame or panelled configurations, single-phase systems and different starting methods. Depending on the model, features may include a voltmeter, thermal protection, electric start and sockets with different amperage ratings. Four-stroke engines require checks of oil, air filter and spark plug as indicated in the manual. Before a long period of inactivity, the procedures specified for fuel and maintenance must be followed. Power calculation must also include the initial starting current of pumps, refrigerators, compressors and other appliances equipped with motors.

• Temporary applications: petrol models are suitable for domestic interventions, maintenance work and mobile activities. Power and autonomy must be related to the expected operating time and connected load;
• Control panel: sockets, voltmeter and protections vary between individual models. The technical data sheet allows verification of voltage, available amperage and included equipment;
• Starting system: generators may feature recoil start, electric start or both. The battery of electric-start models requires periodic checks, especially after long periods of inactivity;

BlackStone diesel power generators are intended for demanding private users, agricultural businesses, workshops and contexts where high power output or extended working sessions are required. The range includes single-phase and three-phase models, with different power ratings and configurations. Several generators feature four-stroke diesel engines and electric start, useful on larger machines. Wheeled versions facilitate movement, while panelled configurations reduce noise propagation compared with equivalent open models. Selection must begin with the voltage required by the users and the actual rated power available from the sockets used. On three-phase models, the load must be correctly distributed to avoid imbalances. Regular checks of oil, air filter, fuel filter and battery keep the generator in the operating conditions specified by the manufacturer.

• Extended operating sessions: the diesel engine is suitable for frequent use and substantial energy requirements. Actual autonomy and consumption depend on the tank, load and model specifications;
• Electrical configuration: the choice between single-phase and three-phase depends on the appliances to be powered. A three-phase model should not be selected for single-phase users only without checking the power available on each individual phase;
• Structure: panels, wheels and electric starting systems facilitate the use of heavier models. These elements affect dimensions, transport and machine positioning;

BlackStone Automatic Start power generators are designed to operate with an ATS panel, acronym for Automatic Transfer Switch. The system detects mains failure, sends the engine start command and transfers the expected loads to the generator. When mains power returns, the panel restores the standard power supply and controls the shutdown according to the configured cycle. This configuration is used in homes, commercial activities, workshops and facilities where some users must remain powered even without an operator present. The ATS does not replace an uninterruptible power supply and may include a delay before power delivery. Generator, panel and electrical system must be compatible in terms of voltage, power and connection type. Installation, testing and connection to the building network must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Mains detection: the ATS panel monitors voltage availability and starts the generator when it detects an interruption. When power is restored, it transfers the load back to the standard mains supply;
• Compatibility: generator and ATS panel must have compatible connections and power ratings. Not all panels can be combined indiscriminately with every generator;
• Installation: connection requires devices that prevent current backfeed towards the public grid. Design and verification must be carried out by qualified personnel according to applicable regulations;

The power rating should be selected by adding together the consumption of the appliances that will operate simultaneously and adding a margin for initial peaks. Electric motors, pumps, compressors and refrigerators may require higher power during start-up than during normal operation. The comparison must be made with the generator’s rated power, since the maximum value is only available for limited periods. When dealing with complex loads, it is advisable to have the calculation carried out by a qualified technician.

Rated power represents the load that the generator can supply under the normal operating conditions indicated by the manufacturer. Maximum power, on the other hand, refers to a higher value that can only be maintained for short peaks. A generator should therefore not be sized by relying on the maximum value for continuous power supply. Leaving a margin compared with rated power reduces the risk of overload when appliances with high starting currents are activated.

A BlackStone inverter generator is suitable when computers, televisions, communication devices or other equipment sensitive to electrical variations need to be powered. Inverter technology converts and reconstructs the output current, producing a stable waveform. The engine speed can also adapt to the load, reducing consumption and noise under low-demand conditions. However, the model’s power rating must still cover the total load and any possible starting current requirements.

The choice depends on frequency of use, required power and duration of operating sessions. BlackStone petrol generators are suitable for occasional work, emergencies and applications requiring frequent movement. BlackStone diesel generators are better suited to prolonged use and higher energy requirements. It is also necessary to compare weight, autonomy, noise level, available voltage and the maintenance schedule of the individual model.

BlackStone Automatic Start power generators use a compatible ATS panel that monitors the presence of the electrical grid. In the event of a power failure, the panel sends the start command and transfers the planned circuits to the generator. When mains power returns, the system restores the standard power supply and stops the engine according to the configured sequence. The ATS does not eliminate the short interval required for starting and switching and does not replace a UPS for equipment that cannot tolerate interruptions.

Connection is only possible through a system designed and installed by a qualified electrician. Switching devices are required to separate the public grid from the generator and prevent any reverse current flow. It is not safe to connect the generator to a domestic socket to power the electrical system backwards. The technician must verify power rating, grounding, protections, cable size and compatibility between generator, ATS panel and powered circuits.

A single-phase generator supplies 230 V users and is suitable for many household appliances, tools and small systems. A three-phase generator provides 400 V current for machines and equipment designed for this type of supply. On three-phase models, the usable power available through a single-phase socket may be lower than the total declared power. Before purchasing, it is therefore necessary to check appliance voltage requirements and power distribution across the phases.

No, AVR and inverter are two different systems. AVR is an automatic regulator that stabilises the voltage produced by a conventional generator. Inverter technology generates the current, converts it and reconstructs it electronically, obtaining a particularly regular waveform. To power sensitive devices, it is necessary to check the appliance manufacturer's instructions and the specific characteristics of the generator, without automatically considering the two technologies equivalent.

Maintenance includes checking the engine oil, air filter, spark plug on petrol models and the fuel system according to the intervals indicated in the manual. On generators with electric start, the battery condition must also be checked. After long periods of inactivity, the procedures specified for fuel, lubrication and storage must be followed. Periodic starts and load tests, when required by the manufacturer, allow verification that the generator is ready for operation.

A combustion-engine generator must operate outdoors, in a ventilated position and away from doors, windows and air intakes. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide and must not accumulate inside homes, garages, basements or other enclosed areas. The machine must be positioned on a stable, dry surface and according to the distances indicated in the manual. Requirements concerning weather protection, refuelling, flammable materials and heat dispersion must also be respected.
