Backup power: luxury or necessity?
As you know, in our country most of the existing communication networks were developed and put into operation during the time of the Soviet Union. The constant underfunding of this area led to the fact that their development was stopped. Over time, cities' needs for electricity grew and led to shortages of this resource and supply interruptions. Each of us has more than once been in a situation where the electricity was cut off in the region of an entire district, and sometimes even the city. At such moments, life stops and we are left completely helpless.
In order not to get into such an unpleasant situation, as a means of protection, you can buy electric gas generators. It is currently the most environmentally friendly type of device that produces electricity. Due to the burning of the gas, energy is released, which is converted into electrical energy inside the installation. There are also analogues of gasoline and diesel. However, they have the following disadvantages:
- noise during work;
- gas pollution;
- the cost of fuel (using a gas analogue connected to the backbone network will cost 10 times less).
That is why it is better to buy an electric gas generator for residential premises.
When selecting a device, you must provide the following parameters:
- his strength;
- step by step;
- power supply.
There is the following classification of installations by capacity:
- generators 5 kW (suitable for a small living space with a standard small set of household appliances, have compact dimensions);
- devices with a power of 10-20 kW (intended for country houses where people live permanently);
- devices 20-25 kW (used in large cottages and houses equipped with various systems that consume electricity in large quantities).
The phase of the generator must be selected in accordance with the same indicator for household appliances.
The power source can be:
- spinal network;
- gas bottle;
- biofuels.
The most preferred, of course, is the first option. But the installation of such an installation should be carried out by companies with experience in this field. This will make it easier for you to get permission etc.
You can buy a gas generator at any specialized center. But you should check whether the sellers have quality certificates for the displayed goods.
A very convenient option is to buy a gas generator via the Internet. Many companies operating in this field have specialized sites that present a large assortment of goods with their detailed descriptions. So you can make a purchase without leaving your home.
Thus, the gas generator today is a very affordable and justified device from a practical point of view (since city electrical networks do not always cope with the increased load on them). It is a reliable source of backup power that has a long service life.
