1. Automatic Changeover Switches: Seamless Power Transition

An Automatic Changeover Switch (ATS) is the backbone of any automated generator system. This device detects power outages and instantly switches the load from the main grid to your generator, ensuring continuous power. Models like the YES1-GP 250AMP 3-POLE ATS are compact, reliable, and prioritize critical circuits, making them ideal for hospitals, data centers, and homes. With features like short circuit protection and compliance with IEC60947-3 standards, these switches guarantee safety and efficiency.

2. Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs): Stable Power Output

To protect your equipment from voltage fluctuations, Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) are crucial. The AS540 AVR, for instance, offers 2-phase sensing and enhanced motor starting performance, ensuring stable voltage output. AVRs are vital for sensitive electronics in commercial and residential settings, preventing damage and extending equipment lifespan. Choose from our wide range to match your generator’s specifications.

3. Battery Chargers: Reliable Startup Power

A generator is only as good as its startup system. Battery Chargers keep your generator’s battery in peak condition, ensuring it’s ready to kick in during an outage. Our high-quality chargers are designed for durability and compatibility, providing consistent power to start your generator automatically, no matter the conditions.

4. Genset Controllers: Smart System Management

For intelligent control, Genset Controllers are indispensable. These devices monitor and manage generator performance, automating startup, shutdown, and fault detection. SmartGen Controllers, available at Generator Parts, offer cloud monitoring capabilities, allowing remote oversight of your system. This ensures optimal performance and quick response to any issues, minimizing downtime.

5. Circuit Breakers: Enhanced Safety

Safety is paramount in any power setup. Circuit Breakers protect your generator and connected devices from overloads and short circuits. Our range is built to handle high currents and harsh conditions, ensuring your system remains secure. Pairing circuit breakers with an ATS creates a robust, fail-safe power solution.

6. Fuel Gauges, Sensor Alarms & Flanges: Precision Monitoring

Monitoring fuel levels is critical to avoid unexpected shutdowns. Fuel Gauges, Sensor Alarms & Flanges provide accurate readings and alerts for low fuel or system anomalies. These components ensure your generator runs smoothly, with sensors triggering alarms to prevent damage or fuel shortages, especially during extended outages.

Different gauges

A generator runs on fuel. Thus, being aware of how much fuel or oil is available means you can budget correctly and know exactly when the tank needs topping up. It is also beneficial to add a fuel gauge that combines a sensor alarm. In this way, you can conveniently be alerted when the level is low.

We offer a range of fuel gauges of different sizes, each ideal for your generator. These are available in different sizes and include optional flange mountings that are either a standard 6-hole flange or a welding flange. This means that the gauge can be fitted to just about any tank that is available today.

Furthermore, the gauge can be fitted with a sensor alarm, which alerts the operator when the liquid level is low. The gauges are also suitable for varying temperatures, such as between 45 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius.

Temperature Sensors

A range of temperature sensors is also available through our online store. A temperature sensor will alert the operator when the temperature is higher than what is required. It is manufactured from brass, and offers a protection rank of IP67. It provides a temperature response time of a minimum of 3 minutes after the power supply is electrified. In addition, the switch turns off when the temperature rises too high.

Pressure Sensors

We also offer pressure sensors, including the KE21107 Pressure Sensor range. The sensors are designed for measuring and monitoring the pressure of diesel, oil and other non-corrosive liquids. They offer excellent anti-vibration performance, longevity, ease of assembly, and a wide range of operating temperatures. Each has the protection ranking IP66.

Flanges

The welding flanges help to securely attach the mechanical gauge to the fuel tank. Further, we offer a 6-hole flange that can be screwed, rather than welded, onto a tank made from materials other than metal. The flange is made from an aluminium alloy which ensures its strength and corrosion resistance.

A mechanical gauge for your generator is necessary. It is useful as the level of the liquid within the tank cannot easily be seen. As such, a gauge should be fitted to a generator to ensure that it does not run out of fuel when you need it most. Without a fuel gauge, the exact amount of fuel available in the tank is an unknown. Furthermore, it may be difficult to calculate how many hours of running time are left.

New Mechanical Fuel Gauges on Offer:

• MG 120 Mechanical Fuel Gauge – 120 mm, 350 mm, 400 mm, 450 mm, 500 mm, 550 mm and 600 mm.
