GeoTech GGA2500 - 2.1 kW Wheeled Power Generator with AVR - DC 2 kW Single-phase

GeoTech GGA2500 single-phase petrol powered generator:

GG: "Gasoline" generator, petrol generator;

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

2500: Maximum power output (KVA).

We are focusing our attention on a small-sized generator, which is easy to carry thanks to the folding handle and wheel kit it is equipped with, providing electric power wherever it is needed but there are no power outlets nearby.

The 12 L fuel tank capacity allows the generator running for a longer period of time.

This generator is equipped with a 163cc internal combustion engine with a rated power of 6.5 Hp and an aluminium-wound alternator capable of generating a maximum power of 2.2 kW.

Detail of the generator AVR card: it allows an automatic output voltage regulation maintaining it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

The generator is not designed for energy production, charging or maintaining batteries for the photovoltaic or solar panels systems (or similar); this can seriously damage the generator.

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.

The alternator of this GeoTech GGA2500 generator features a aluminium case.

Max rated output: * in emergency conditions LTP: 2.2 KW

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

Rated power output * in continuous running PRP: 2.0 KW

* This last feature represents the technical data to take into account as effective when you are going to purchase a generator according to its voltage and to its capacity of generating electric power (since it allows the generator running for an unlimited 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.

Engine features:

Model: 168F
Engine type: 4-stroke single-cylinder forced cooling engine with overhead valve OHV
Cubic capacity: 163 cc
Affective power: 5.5 Hp
Rated power: 6.5 Hp

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

This generator control panel shows a number of different functions.

• Voltmeter, which is used for measuring the output power into the power outlet.
• Start push button: once the engine is on, the generator will start generating electric power (up to 230 volts) by simply pushing this button.
• 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 this is a standard charger.
• 2 Schuko power outlets rated at 16 A, 250 V Max voltage, with IP44 cover.
• Earth grounding.
• Oil warning light: it has been specifically designed to avoid damaging the engine when the oil level drops too low. Whenever the engine is not running properly, the red oil warning light comes on before the oil drops below the safety level. On this occasion, the generator automatically stops.

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.

• Running time: approx. 10 hours

As far as the needed power is concerned, we now provide you with an handy chart to help you navigate among consumption, starting coefficients and watt.

The best criteria is to pinpoint first which are the instruments we need to power with the generator and, consequently perform a simple calculation, as explained below, to identify the needed power that the generator need to eject.

Power required = Electric appliance consumption X Breakaway starting coefficient

The starting coefficient is a fundamental characteristic of any instrument which works with electric current because it indicates how much the consumption of the object increases. Therefore, this is needed to concretely determine how many WATT are necessary during the start up operations.

Example: Compressor (1500 Watt ) X Starting coefficient (2) = 3000 Watt Hence you should orientate towards a generator which has a WATT power equal or superior to the result (*)

Check the consumption of the appliance on the instruction and maintenance manual or on the plate attached to the machine.

WARNING: the chart is purely indicative. Thanks to the formula above you can easily calculate the power a generator should deliver to connect and start some specific products and select the model of generator which best suits your needs.

• The generator can be exclusively used to power single electrical appliances (with respect to the produced KW power in relation to the absorption 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 was NOT designed for PROFESSIONAL use, it is therefore apt for occasional use (not frequent). The working sessions must no be over 3-4 continuous hours (which would cause the alternator to overheat and wear, especially in its internal components rotor and stator) If you need a generator for frequent use (for example once a week), the user should look towards another type of generator, specifically intended for a frequent use and precisely a PROFESSIONAL or even INDUSTRIAL quality-level generator (that is not provided with a standard 3000 rpm alternator as this models is, but one which is designed with a professional alternator with low speed; 1500 rpm - with liquid-cooled engine and alternator - which have a level of specific characteristic and price point very different from this model’s);

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.
