GeoTech GGSA3000ES - 2.7 kW Power Generator with AVR and Electric Start - DC 2.5 kW Single-phase

GeoTech GGSA3000ES single-phase petrol powered generator:

GG: "Gasoline" generator, petrol generator;

S: "Semi silent" generator;

A: "Aluminium", it refers to the alternator case material;

3000: Maximum power output (KVA).

ES: "Electric Start", we are focusing on an electrically powered generator.

This generator is built into a solid and sturdy frame with square tubes made of enamelled steel. It has been also engineered to be fitted with wheel and handle kit.

The GGSA3000ES is a 6.5 Hp petrol powered generator of 196 cc. It consists of aluminium alternator winding and an electric start and it is able to generate up to 2.7 Kw maximum output power and a AVR card that allows an automatic output voltage regulation maintaining it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

The 12 L fuel tank capacity allows the generator running for a longer period of time. On the other hand, the control panel is a set of many displays which is responsible for the measurement of various parameters like voltage, current and frequency. It consists of a voltmeter, 16A-250V Schuko double outlet, 12V battery charger, stop button and oil level warning light.

Compared to all the standard electric generators, this GeoTech model shows a sturdy enclosure on 3 side walls, which has been specifically designed to protect the power source from damage, dirt and dust and it is even responsible for sound attenuation by considerably reducing noise emissions. This important feature gives the possibility to refer to this machine as a semi silent generator with 85 dB(A)/7m Maximum sound intensity.

WARNING: all these models of generators that do not belong to the PROFESSIONAL series (considering the product level evaluation used by our website) are not intended for more than 3-4 hours continuous work in order not to reduce the alternator durability as well as that of one of the other machine components due to the unit overheating or wear. As regards a home or intensive use of these generators, it is important to follow the indications mentioned above. In all these conditions, we highly recommend focusing the attention on the purchase of generators renowned as PROFESSIONAL by the product level classification made in our website.

This generator control panel shows a number of different functions.

• Voltmeter, which is used for measuring the output power into the power outlet.
• Electric battery start: whenever the engine is working, you just have to turn the key in its START position in order to allow the generator starting to generate electric current (letting the voltmeter measuring up to 230 volts).
• The generator we are focusing on is also equipped with battery charger, suitable to power all the 12 volts batteries forcing electric current through it. WARNING: this battery charger does not allow powering all the 12 volts electronic devices since we are dealing with a standard recharger.
• 2 Schuko power outlets rated at 16 A, 250 V Max voltage, with IP44 cover.
• Ground fault relay.
• Stop push button.

Engine features:

Model: 168F-1
Engine type: 4-stroke single-cylinder forced cooling engine with overhead valve OHV
Cubic capacity: 196 cc
Power: 6.5 Hp
Fuel supply: petrol
Fuel tank capacity: 12 L

The generator we are focusing on also consists of an electic key start together with the standard recoil starter. Its steel tank shows a capacity of 12 L which is also equipped with fuel shut off valve to quickly stop the flow in case of failure.

The generator AVR card (used to regulate the output voltage) even allows automatically regulating the gas rate and it is responsible for the engine acceleration in case of sudden changes in load.

The generator enclosure is responsible for the protection of all the sentitive components of the generator and it prevents contact with high temperature heat surfaces. Moreover, the generator side walls play a fundametal role since they develop a soundproofing function, which allows considerably reducing the amount of noise emitted.

The alternator of this GeoTech GGSA3000ES petrol generator shows a aluminium winding.

Max rated output: * in emergency conditions LTP: 2.7 KW

* In emergency conditions, the generator is able to generate this maximum output power.

Rated power output * in continuous running PRP: 2.5 KW

* This last feature represents the technical data to take into account as effective according to the generator capacity of generating electric power (since it allows the generator running for a long period of time).

This GeoTech generator is also equipped with AVR card that allows an automatic output voltage regulation maintaining it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

The generator is built into a heavy-duty frame through sturdy anti vibration rubber feet.

The generator we are focusing on is also equipped with a high capacity metal fuel tank: this important feature allows the generator running for a longer period of time. It consists of a fuel level gauge, specifically used to check and inspect the level of fuel contained in the tank.

As regards the power needed referring to the use you will make of your generator, here below an extremely useful table to guide you among consumptions, starting coefficient and watt. Firstly, the highest-quality method is to identify which are the electric appliances we need to power with the generator and then perform a simple calculation to identify the necessary power that the generator must supply, as explained below.

Power required = Electric appliance consumption X Breakaway starting coefficient

The starting coefficient represents a fundamental feature for all the electric equipment as it indicates how much the consumption of the electric appliance increases. Therefore, it allows to concretely determine how many WATTs are necessary during the start-up operations.

Example: Air compressor ( 1500 Watt ) X Starting coefficient ( 2 ) = 3000 Watt

Hence, it is important to address your choice on a generator featuring equal or higher WATT-rated electric power than the result obtained from the calculation made.

( * ) Check the consumption of the electric appliance on the operator’s use and maintenance manual or on the plate attached to the machine.

WARNING! Purely indicative table. Thanks to the formula indicated above you can easily calculate the electric power that the generator has to supply in order and connect to the generator specific electric appliances and select the model of generator which best suits your needs.

• The generator can only be used to power individual electrical equipment (respecting the rated power in KW produced by the generator in relation to the absorption of the appliances during the starting phase that must be lower than the power supplied by the generator).

• The generator can be used to power household device in emergency conditions (no current service provided by the domestic household), exclusively on the models that are specifically provided with ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) device (specifically designed for this purpose and provided with connecting systems to your household electrical power).
• The generator is NOT intended for PROFESSIONAL use. It means that it is exclusively designed for occasional use (infrequent use of the unit). The working hours must not exceed 3-4 of continuous running (which may lead to the alternator overheating or wear, especially to its internal components: alternator stator and rotor). Whether you’re looking for a generator for intensive use (once a week, for instance), the operator should address the choice to a different type generator specifically designed for a more intensive use. Indeed, you should focus the attention on PROFESSIONAL or even INDUSTRIAL quality-level generator (that is not provided with standard 3000 rev/min alternator as this specific model, but it is designed with professional alternator with low speed: 1500 rev/min – with liquid-cooled engine and alternator – in this case you’ll see that the unit specifications and price are much different from this model).

The generator is not designed to be installed in photovoltaic or solar energy systems for energy production nor for the recharging or maintenance of batteries of these specific or other electric systems. Indeed, it may damage seriously the generator on its internal components (alternator, engine and electrical component). Each photovoltaic system requires a generator for INDUSTRIAL use (not for domestic use as this present model), specifically designed and manufactured for this purpose. WE DO NOT PROVIDE WARRANTY on generators connected to photovoltaic systems, as this entails an IMPROPER USE OF THE UNIT.
