FEATURES OF THE SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 GENERATOR

  1. 15L Fuel Tank Capacity: The SPG2900 2.0KVA generator has a 15-litre fuel tank, ensuring it can run for up to 16 hours at a 50% load. This means that when you fuel the SPG2900 at the start of your working day, it will comfortably carry you till the close of business.
  2. 4-Stroke OHV Engine: The SPG2900 2.0KVA generator runs on an SFE160 engine. This is a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled OHV engine synonymous with powerful performance, precise valve actuation, excellent heat dissipation, low fuel consumption and reduced noise level.
  3. Oil Alert System: The SPG2900 2.0KVA generator has an oil warning system. This system continuously monitors the oil level in the generator's crankcase, automatically shutting it down if the oil level falls below the safe limit. Hence, it saves the generator from irreparable damage and costly repairs.
  4. Automatic Decompression System: The Automatic Decompression System reduces compression on the manual starting system, thus enabling an effortless generator starting through this way.
  5. Automatic Voltage Regulator: The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator comes fitted with an automatic voltage regulator. Therefore, this stabilises voltage output and frequency, preventing voltage fluctuation, which can cause problems for your home or office appliances.
  6. Fuel Meter: The fuel meter of the SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator means you can see the fuel level on the generator without having to open the fuel cap.
  7. Single Phase: The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator is a single-phase generator that provides an efficient source at a low cost.
  8. Overload Protection: The electronic circuit breaker cuts off current when the output voltage exceeds the designated maximum output capacity on the SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator.
  9. Starting Watts: 2200W.
  10. Running Watts: 2000W.
  11. DC Output: 12 Voltage / 8.3 Ampere.
  12. Brush Alternator: The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator comes with a brush, self-exciting, synchronous, 2-pole alternator. However, this prevents huge sparking.
  13. Transistorised Ignition: The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator's transistor-controlled ignition system makes it possible to send heavier current through the generator coil without burning the points.
  14. Weight(kg): The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator weighs 40.1kg.
  15. Noise level: The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator has a noise level of 7 meters at 68dB.

 

WHAT APPLIANCES CAN THE SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 GENERATOR RUN?

The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG2900 generator can power most home appliances, such as;

  • Television.
  • DVD player.
  • Light bulbs.
  • Fan.
  • Small fridge (100L).
  • Two Firman 1.1HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode in the absence of other appliances.
  • One Firman 1.6HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode in the absence of other appliances.
  • A small pumping machine.

 

THIS GENERATOR IS TOO SMALL FOR ME. WHAT IS THE NEXT LARGER SIZE?

If the SPG2900 generator is small for you, consider getting a 2.5KVA generator, such as the SPG3000, SPG3000 with wheels, SPG3000E2, ECO3990ES, RD3910EX and FPG3800E2. These are common choices for those interested in having a more extensive coil. A 2.5KVA generator can simultaneously power a freezer(300L) and a fridge without other appliances. A 2.5KVA generator can also power one Firman 1.1HP Inverter AC and just one fridge simultaneously without other appliances. Finally, if no fridges or freezers are going to be powered, a 2.5KVA generator can power two Firman 1.1HP Inverter ACs simultaneously, with a few extra light bulbs and fans.

 

WHICH GENERATORS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER SHOULD I CONSIDER?

The generators smaller than the 2.0KVA generators are the 1.2kVA. The options available under the 1.2KVA generators include ECO1990S, SPG1800, SPG1800 PRO MAX and SPG2200; they power essential home appliances like light bulbs, fans, and television. However, the only 1.2KVA generator that can power a 1.1HP air conditioner is the SPG1800 PRO MAX.

 

WHICH ALTERNATIVES SHOULD I CONSIDER?

If you are seriously considering getting the SPG2900, you might also want to check out the other options in this category, SPG2500, FPG2800E2 and RD2910.

Although, it is a common myth in the market and on other websites. Please do not fall for it and overload your generator.
