As leading diesel generator suppliers and backup power experts in Kenya, we provide robust soundproof and open-type generator sets ranging from 10kVA to 2000kVA+. Powered by world-renowned engine brands (such as Cummins, Perkins, Volvo Penta, and Ricardo) coupled with brushless alternators and intelligent Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) control panels, we guarantee seamless, automatic backup power transfer the moment the grid fails.

Why Choose Our Industrial & Commercial Diesel Generators?

·        World-Class Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines: Powered by elite engine manufacturers—including Cummins, Perkins, Volvo Penta, and Ricardo—ensuring high torque, superior fuel economy, and exceptional durability under continuous heavy loads.

·        Soundproof & Weatherproof Acoustic Enclosures: Heavy-gauge galvanized steel canopies lined with high-density flame-retardant acoustic foam, reducing operating noise levels to 65–75 dB(A) at 7 meters and protecting against harsh tropical weather.

·        Intelligent Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Integration: Monitors KPLC utility grid status 24/7, automatically starting the generator within seconds of a power failure and switching back seamlessly when grid power returns.

·        Advanced Digital Deep Sea Controller Panels: Equipped with user-friendly microprocessor controllers (such as Deep Sea Electronics - DSE) displaying real-time engine parameters, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel levels, and fault diagnostics.

·        100% Copper Brushless Alternators: Features Stamford, Leroy Somer, or equivalent brushless alternators with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to deliver clean, stable, pure sine wave power without voltage spikes.

·        Robust Base Fuel Tank & Safety Systems: Built-in structural steel base fuel tanks providing 8 to 12 hours of continuous full-load operation, complete with emergency stop buttons, low oil pressure shut-off, and high water temperature protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Diesel Generators in Kenya

Q1: How do I select the correct generator capacity (kVA) for my business or home?

To choose the right generator size, calculate the total running wattage of all electrical appliances and machinery you intend to power simultaneously, factor in starting surge currents for heavy electric motors (like pumps and compressors), and add a 20% to 25% safety margin. Our technical team at Power & Solar Systems Ltd offers free load sizing and site audits.

Q2: What is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and do I need one?

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is an intelligent control panel that automatically detects a KPLC power outage, signals the generator to start, switches your property's load to generator power, and automatically shuts down the generator when grid power returns. It is essential for unattended, instant power backup.

Q3: What maintenance do diesel generators require?

To ensure long-term reliability, diesel generators require routine servicing every 250 operating hours or bi-annually. This includes changing the engine oil, fuel filters, air filters, checking coolant levels, and testing the starter battery.
