What type of generator set do I need?

The type of generator that you need will vary depending on what it is required to power, where it will be installed and whether it is needed to run continuously or only when there is a power outage. To establish what type of generator is most suitable for you, contact your local FG Wilson dealer who will be able to size and quote for your requirements.


FG Wilson offers generator sets to provide prime power, standby power and rental power. We produce diesel and gas powered units as small as 6.8 kVA that are ideal for domestic and small retail properties up to sets as large as 2,200 kVA that can provide power for complete villages and even feed back into national electricity supply grids. Our generators can be started either manually or automatically and can be provided as open sets, canopied sets and containerised sets. There is also the option to have the generator mounted on a trailer if it needs to be transportable.

How do I know what size of generator set to purchase for my premises?

There is no one correct answer to this question. The size of generator set required will depend on a number of individual factors. To ensure that your generator set is correctly sized you should contact your local FG Wilson Dealer. They will make an appointment to come out and help you identify the kVA or wattage rating for all the equipment and appliances on your premises that would be required by the generator. This will then enable them to provide you with details of the exact size and type of generator that is most suitable for your needs.
