Buying guide

How to choose: Generators

This category offers generators to provide electricity where the mains grid is not available: construction sites, farms, leisure or back-up. You will find quiet, portable inverter models from around 1,800 W to 4 kW, petrol generators from 6 to 12 kW and soundproofed diesel generators from 5.5 to 11 kW. The models differ in power, fuel, noise level and mobility.

Selection criteria

  1. Power required

    Add up the power of the appliances you will use at the same time and allow a margin. Motor-driven appliances (compressor, pump, saw) require considerably more power on start-up than their rated power.

  2. Inverter technology

    An inverter generator provides a more stable voltage, suitable for electronic devices such as computers or chargers. The inverter models in this category are also compact and designed to be quiet.

  3. Petrol or diesel

    Petrol generators are generally lighter and suited to occasional use. Diesel generators are better suited to long, regular operation.

  4. Noise level

    Noise is expressed in decibels, for example 59 dB or 70 dB(A) for some of the models shown. For camping, use near homes or prolonged use, choose an inverter or soundproofed model.

  5. Output voltage

    Models in this category whose voltage appears in the name are single-phase. If you need three-phase, check this on the product page before choosing.

  6. Mobility

    A light portable generator can be carried by hand, while more powerful generators are heavier. Some models are fitted with wheels to make moving them easier.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the power I need?

List the appliances to be powered at the same time and add up their power in watts. For motor-driven appliances, take into account the starting power, often stated by the manufacturer. Then choose a generator whose output exceeds this total.

Can I connect a computer to a generator?

For sensitive electronic devices, an inverter generator is recommended because its voltage is more stable. A conventional generator is better suited to tools and lighting.

Can a generator be used in an enclosed space?

No. A generator emits exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide. It must be operated outdoors, in a well-ventilated place, away from doors and windows.

Can a generator be connected to a home's electrical installation?

Connection to a fixed installation requires a changeover switch that isolates the house from the public grid. This connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
