I have a query to the experts, I have china brand genertor and it is placed on top of roof, i would like to know, how many hours it can run non stop.
as well as plz advise oil change time.
many thanks in advance.
oil is changed after 25 hours of running.
on Roof top is it under some shade or direct sun light ?
well i have run mine for max 5-6 hours continuous without any issue
I've run mine for 7 hours continuous... its on petrol, no gas.HasHo0 is right about 25 hours oil change... and one more thing, if ur generator has Chinese spark plug, plz change it to some good brand.
all depends on generator type....there are generators available that can run 24x7 throughout the year.
depends on size of the generator , bigger the size , more running type , normal generators which we use in our home from 3-6 kva should not be run more than 6-7 hrs in order to maintain generator life . . .
oil change after 25 hours , who told you , only first oil change is around 20 hrs n afterwards it needs to be changed after 80 hours . . .
you change oil according to oil condition...and it may vary from generator to generator...25hrs is stupid. 100hrs should be good (once a month..?).
Recently a Pw member @agoodfriend overhauled his generator and it ran for almost 2500 hrs in those 3 years and oil change interval was 100hrs and his engine was clean from inside. So if you are changing oil at less than 80-100hrs than you are wasting your money
last day i ran my new 3kva generator of 12hrs continuously without any issue . it is on the roof and under shade...
oil change after a month most probably after 100 120 hours..!! and u can run it for 10 to 12 hrs continously,depends where u kept your generator, and u should close generator for some minutes during those hours..!!!
i have chinese generator 3kva. oil changed duration on its booklet is 50 hrs, but i changed it after 70 hours because on 50 the oil looks ok. i was not aware of oil change so i changed first oil after 80 and next after 150. and i think its better to give rest after 4-5 hours.warewolf1 is right, change its spark plug
Do u go on roof for on/off? or its automatic?
i run max 3 hrs then i give it a rest of 15 mins then start it again oil change i do 2 times in a month about 60hrs
Oil change Every 15 days. Top up the oil every week.Spark plug changed to Denso ASAP.Maximum duration I run is 5 hours.
Maximum run shouldn't be more than 5 hours in one go.
Maximum 8 hour (written on manual)\pesrsonal experience is 6 hour continiuos
i hv 2.8 kv ... maximum ran it for 5 hrs .... one should not test the limit of these chinese brands ..4,5 hrs is more than enough if ur genset is in good condition with proper maintenance ...
