What Are Portable Generators?

By Cristiane Fontes


Portable generators are devices that use either gas or diesel to provide short term solution to power shortage problems. Such solutions are mandatory because power is a basic unit in a majority of households and work places. Without power most of the things would not function.

This is when portable generators come in handy. Portable generators are therefore appliances that supply power in case of a power outbreak. Portable generators supply power for the purposes of lighting up the house, heating up food by the use of electric cookers or microwaves, cooling food as of a refrigerator and various other electrical appliances in the house. Portable generators, just as their name implies can be moved from one position to another. They have been known to be very efficient as one can easily carry them place to place. They also have very many uses, this include in the mining industries, in businesses, and even in our homes.

Another situation where one notices the importance of portable generators is when there is an urgent situation that needs power but there is a blackout. This could be if a close relative is in a critical condition and is relying on the power for their survival and then suddenly, there is a blackout. This is where a portable generator could save the day, as all you have to do is to fuel a portable diesel generator and get it working. However one must be careful while handling diesel to prevent accidents.

An advantage of portable generators is that they are easy to maintain. All one needs to do is to ensure that they take all necessary measures to ensure that the portable generators are operated in the proper way. This is quite easy because when one buys a portable generator, it comes with a manual which has instructions on how to operate it. As long as all those instructions are followed up correctly, one is assured of having an easy time.

One thing to note about portable generators is that they should be operated in well ventilated area. This is because they use an internal incineration engine to produce power. Therefore, to avoid any accidental fires, they should be operated in open places. While being operated outside, they ought to be placed far away from doors, windows or any sources of ventilation for the house.

When the portable generators are running, they release a dangerous gas known as carbon-monoxide. This gas is deadly if inhaled by any human. Therefore it is wise to install devices that can detect the presence of the gas incase the gas finds its way into the house. One should also avoid plugging the generator together with the electrical devices found in the home as these may lead to short circuiting thus destroying the appliances.

The chords that connect the appliances to the machines must be properly insulated to minimize the chances of accidents occurring, they should be installed correctly and by someone who is experienced in doing so. Children should be prevented from going near the portable generators.

The portable generator is therefore essential, especially for companies that depend on power for their day to day functions. One cannot be sure when electricity will be there or not, it is therefore safe to have a portable generator in case of an emergency.
