Electric Generator: power where there is no socket
A power cut never comes at a convenient moment. The milking plant, the ventilation and the drinker pump still have to run, even with the mains gone. That is exactly what you will find here: PTO generators for the tractor plus petrol and diesel generator sets from Elmag and Güde. From the compact inverter for chargers to a powerful set for the whole farmstead, the right power class is here.
Backup power for the farm off the PTO shaft
A PTO generator needs no engine of its own. You hitch it to the three-point linkage, engage the PTO shaft and have power for as long as the tractor runs. That saves servicing, because one combustion engine less is in use, and it delivers steady output even through a longer outage. The Elmag SEZN series runs from 20 to 50 kVA, so you can supply the milking plant, the ventilation and the drinker pump together. Every model works with AVR, automatic voltage regulation, which matters so that controllers and electronics in the barn come to no harm.
Mobile sets for the building site and the pasture
Where there is no tractor standing by, an engine of its own does the job. The petrol and diesel sets run independently and travel with you to the fence line, the pasture or the building site. Small units start on a pull cord, while the models marked WDE come with an electric start and fire up without a fuss in the cold. For sensitive loads such as a laptop, a battery charger or measuring gear, the inverter generators are the better choice: they deliver especially clean power, stay quiet and are light enough to carry on your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AVR mean on a generator?
AVR stands for automatic voltage regulation. It keeps the voltage steady even under changing load and so protects controllers, chargers and other electronics from voltage spikes.
When is a PTO generator worth it?
Whenever a tractor is on the yard anyway and you need a lot of output over a longer period. For backup power in the barn it needs less servicing than a second set with its own engine.
What do I need an inverter for?
For sensitive devices such as a laptop, a phone or a battery charger. An inverter produces an even voltage curve and runs considerably more quietly than a classic set.
The right generator for your farm
Which generator suits you depends on where and for how long you need power. If a tractor is ready to go and the whole farmstead should stay supplied during an outage, a PTO generator is the calmest solution: no second engine, hardly any servicing, and plenty of output over hours. If instead you work at the fence, in the wood or on a building site, a mobile set with its own petrol or diesel engine is the answer, with an electric start if you want winter to be a non-issue. For laptops, phones and battery packs an inverter is the safe choice, because it delivers clean power and stays quiet. When buying, keep an eye on the starting currents of your loads: motors and pumps draw far more at start-up than in continuous use, so it pays to plan one size up.
