Product Q&A

• Hi, there are two generators listed, one is a Gentech, one is a Dunlite - They look similar, but slightly different pricing. What is the difference in the generators? Regards, Neville

  Hi Neville, great question. Dunlite & Gentech are both built / distributed by an Australian company called Welling & Crossley. They have been Australian owned and operated since 1926, and are recognised as an Australian leader in the manufacture and supply of petrol & diesel power equipment and generating sets for industrial, commercial and domestic applications.

  Welling & Crossley's range of portable generators has always been Gentech. Then around 20 years ago, they acquired a similar portable generator brand in Dunlite. Each brand has excellent recognition throughout Australia. So both brands now come out of the same Welling & Crossley factory and so the models are not just similar, but the same – either branded ‘Gentech’ or ‘Dunlite’.

  In the instance where the price is slightly different, this just relates to stock levels and availability of that particular model. In any case, there are Dunlite/Gentech portable petrol generators from around 2kVA to 16kVA in size, mostly powered by genuine Honda engines and are the trusted option for tradesmen, farmers, industrial applications, domestic requirements, small businesses and much more... similarly, the Dunlite/Gentech diesel portable generator models up to around 9kVA in size are powered by the likes of Lister Petter and Kohler engines and used for all matter of commercial, industrial and rural power requirements.

  All Gentech/Dunlite products are backed by comprehensive warranties from the manufacturer (Welling & Crossley) and come with national service agent and spare parts support. Thanks. 

• How is it that this generator has 15Amp outlets, but the generator's power rating is greater than 15Amps? (as 15Amps equates to 3600watts on a 240Volt appliance). Presumably you can get more than 15Amps out of the outlets then?

  Yes, that is correct. A 15 Amp outlet can deliver more power than 15 Amps for a short period, as there is no circuit breaker fitted to the generator as standard. You can briefly pull the full rated power amount of the generator (continuous and maximum) through the 15 Amp outlet.. noting that this is only for a short time - i.e. when you are first starting up an appliance such as a comprossor, drop saw, air conditioner etc. it may draw around 30 Amps (as an example) to start up, and then drop back down to 10 Amps to keep running.  
  
  However, if your appliance draws more than 15 Amps continuously, it is not recommended you run it for prolonged periods from a 15 Amp outlet, as it is likely to result in overheating issues. It may be prudent to consider re-fitting the outlets to a larger size to fit your continuous power requirement (i.e. 20 Amp, or 32 Amp outlet for example) - this can be configured upon request at extra cost. Thank you.

• Hi guys, is the engine in this Dunlite genset a genuine Honda engine? I know there are some cheap imitation engines in the market. Thanks.

  G'Day, this is most definitely a genuine Honda engine! The Dunlite range of Petrol Generators use 100% authentic Honda engines purchased from Honda Australia and are backed with a full 4 year commercial warranty for the Honda GX model engines. The generator, including the frame and alternator etc. comes with a 2 year warranty. You can have the engine serviced or inspected by any approved Honda service agent in Australia - there are more than 400 accredited Honda service agents around the country.

  We are also aware of some cheaper brands using imported "Honda" engines or cheap imitation generator brands labelling the engine as Honda. We do not stock any products that use non-verified Honda engines from Honda Australia. Dunlite have had a presence in Australia for over 75 years and have a very strong reputation for tough worksite and farm site generators around the country. Along with Gentech and Powerlite, they are one of our best-selling portable trade generator brands.

  Hope that helps, Cheers - Steve

• Could you please let me know if the 15kva genset has a AVR system on the generator?

  Hi there - no, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) is not fitted to this generator. If you need AVR for this type/size generator, you can check out the Powerlite 15kVA Generator powered by Honda - refer to the accessories list and AVR can be added as an optional extra. Thanks!

• Can I use this generator to charge my power tool batteries?

  Hi there,

  Charging battery packs is fine from a conventional generator, we'd recommend having a steady load on the generator and don't connect appliances that will cause the load to jump around during charging.

  Thanks.
