Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the compact G.E. family of generator sets powered by Lister Petter engines, ranging from 6.0 KVA to 43.0 KVA. These generators are designed for efficiency, requiring less fuel than competitors, and are suitable for both residential and rental applications.

Main Characteristics: The generators are available in water-cooled, three-phase or single-phase configurations, operating at 1500 or 3000 rpm. They are equipped with first-rank alternators generating power from 7.7 KVA to 20 KVA.

Standard Equipment: Includes a zinc-plated sheet base, a 66-liter polyethylene fuel tank, vibration dampers, a battery charge alternator, a speed governor, a residential silencer, and a manual control panel with a display showing 15 parameters. Safety features include insulation for hot parts and automatic shutdown for low oil pressure, high engine temperature, overload, and short circuits.

Canopy and Design: The canopy is compact and soundproof, suitable for residential areas, and designed for weather protection. The 3000 rpm version has a larger canopy.

Rental Suitability: The generators are user-friendly, equipped with an intuitive control system, and can be easily moved and connected to loads via an optional outward socket board.

Optional Devices: Available options include low fuel level alarms, fuel pre-filters, water pre-heating, automatic changeover control boards, and remote start capabilities.

Engine Features: Engines are available in two, three, and four-cylinder configurations, with a turbocharged version for the four-cylinder model. They are diesel, four-stroke, water-cooled engines with counter-clockwise rotation.

Operational Conditions: Generators can operate continuously in temperatures up to 52°C. Maintenance is recommended every 500 hours of operation.

Alternator Performance: Features a single bearing alternator with a 10% overload capacity for one hour in a 12-hour period. It includes an electronic voltage regulator and is designed to minimize interference with radio and telephone transmissions.

Control Panel: Available in manual or automatic versions, with the ability to upgrade from manual to automatic. The control system displays 12 functional parameters and provides alarms and instructions for troubleshooting.

Warranty: A two-year warranty covers manufacturing defects but excludes improper use and excessive operation.

Prime and Standby Power Ratings: Detailed power ratings are provided for different engine models and configurations.

Sound Pressure Levels and Dimensions: Sound levels range from 62 to 65 dB, with dimensions and weights specified for each model.

Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption rates are provided for various engine speeds and load percentages.

Control Board Features: The control board includes a microprocessor for diagnostics, a display for parameters and alarms, and connectivity for remote monitoring and control.

Protections and Alarms: The system includes numerous alarms and protections for fuel levels, engine conditions, and electrical parameters.

Automatic Version Features: The automatic control panel allows for connection to the mains and includes additional settings for automatic operation and testing.
