Choosing a Generator
It’s easy to feel left in the dark when it comes
to knowing what to look for when selecting
a generator. The selection guide included in
this brochure will enable you to make the
correct decision.
Traditional Style
Generators
Traditional portable generators produce power
by using an engine to rotate two large coils
of wire (the rotor) inside a circumference of
magnets (the stator). Each full rotation of
the engine produces one complete sine wave
of AC power. Therefore the engine must
maintain a constant speed of 3000RPM to
produce the standard of 50Hz. (3000 revs /
60 seconds (1min) = 50Hz). No matter what
the load, a traditional style generator must
run at full speed to provide the correct power.
Inverter Generators
An Inverter Generator is normally used where
power is required for sensitive electronic
equipment like PCs, TVs and instrumentation.
They are also chosen when portability or size
is important and where noise must be kept
to a minimum.
Portable Generators
A portable generator consists of two main
components, a gasoline or diesel powered
engine and an alternator. The alternator
consists of a rotor (rotating) inside a stator
(fixed).
The engine power is used to rotate the rotor
inside the stator which generates AC power.
Portable generators have many applications
at work and around the home and have made
outdoor events and projects much easier to
tackle.
The GT POWER Range of generators take
this convenience and portability to another
level with the latest technology and functions.

What do you need to power?
The first question when selecting a generator
is “What do you need to power?”
Make a list
Make a list of the appliances, tools and
lighting that you want to use simultaneously.
How many lights will you need to run alongside
your powertools? Will you need to run the
oven as well as the microwave at the same
time?
Note the wattage required
The list on the following page offers a guide
on the wattages used on most common
appliances and items used at home and in
the workplace. For exact figures we
recommend you check the nameplate or
instruction manual for your individual
appliances. Also listed (where applicable) is
the “starting wattage” or”surge wattage”
which is the amount of wattage needed to
start an appliance with a motor. This may
be up to three times the wattage required
to run the appliance, so this must be taken
into consideration.
All generators also have a maximum and
rated wattage output. GT POWER
Generators are designed to work at their
maximum rating for up to half an hour. Rated
power is the level where the generator can
be operated continuously and is typically
90% of maximum power.
The GT POWER Portable Generator Series
includes machines that range from 900W
to 9000W.
Other generator selection criteria includes:
Weight / portability
Operating sound levels
Engine type (2 stroke, 4 stroke or diesel)
Fuel capacity
Starting system (electric or EZ start
recoil)
Investment cost
Power Requirements
Calculate your total power needs
Firstly, add up all the “running wattage” requirements for all the items that you need to
power simultaneously. Next, add to that total the highest of the “starting wattages” you
listed down.
Now you know approximately how much power you need to start and run your appliances and
equipment.

This chart lists average power requirements. Your particular tool or appliance may require more
or less than the listed wattage.
Important Note
Always select a generator that has more capacity than your load requirements. The small
amount extra you may invest to do this will be quickly recovered with the fuel saving and longer
service life gained by not having to constantly run your generator at full load.

Points to Consider
Engine Type
Alternator/Generator End
All of the GT POWER Generator Series are
powered by OHV four stroke engines with
the exception of the small GT1000 which
is two stroke. A two stroke engine runs on
a 40:1 fuel/oil mix. A four stroke engine
runs on standard unleaded fuel and has a
crankcase with separate engine oil.
The alternator consists of two parts, the
rotor and the stator. The rotor (which is
coupled to the motor and rotates) sits
inside the stator. The quality and assembly
of these two components is crucial to the
operation and longevity of a portable
generator.
Diesel engines are typically used on larger
industrial generators from 10kVA and
upwards. This is due to the fact that diesel
engines of this size are more economical
when running for long periods of time and
are built for this purpose. The downside of
smaller diesel engines is that maintenance
and initial investment costs are substantially
more than a four stroke engine.
Many “cheap and cheerful” generator
manufacturers use inferior quality materials
to save cost in this area. One prime example
of this is the use of aluminium windings in
the stator.
All GT POWER Generators use premium
quality copper windings to ensure the
ultimate performance and durability.
Usually, if a manufacturer doesn’t state
this fact, copper is not being used.
The GT POWER OHV engine is built tough
to last the distance in industrial and rigorous
applications. The latest SSS4 technology
in the Series offers exceptional outputs
and low emissions.
GT POWER Generator housings are bolted
directly to the engine, providing precise
rotor and stator alignment. All GT POWER
Series generators process their power
through heavy duty AVR (automatic voltage
regulator) modules. This means reliable
voltage output regardless of the load applied
to the generator. The GT POWER Series
use the latest generation AVR technology
which ensures smooth and reliable power.
For maximum precision and durability all GT
POWER OHV engines have:
Precision ball bearing supported
crankshafts
Low oil alert system
Maintenance-free electronic ignition
Cast iron cylinder sleeve and chrome
piston rings
Large “anti-vibe” isolation mounts
Large muffler sytem for reduced noise
Industrial air cleaner system
DC Battery Charging
All POWERMAX Generators have a special
subwinding in the alternator that produces
12V DC for battery charging.
Operating Noise Levels
The GT POWER Series operates at 65-70dBA.
This chart will give you an idea of what this level represents.
