Generator GuIdeLIneS
Your motorhome can be used with a generator
provided these guidelines are met:
• Lack of regular servicing can be the cause
of most generator problems, gensets under
2kW are mainly dependent on engine
speed for output frequency and voltage.
Poor or no servicing may cause the engine
speed governor to run the genset to fast.
Therefore, frequency and output voltage
can rise above the specification of the
machine data plate i.e. 230V at 50Hz. This
may cause damage to electrical/electronic
equipment (such as battery chargers).
• A generator should always run for a few
minutes prior to connection with the
motorhome electrics, to allow it to warm up
and the output to settle to a steady level.
• The AC output of generators is often
derived from an AC alternator, rectified to
DC then inverted back to AC. In essence
this means the output sinewave may not
run sophisticated electronics efficiently.
Some of the new wave of gensets are
more sophisticated in their production of a
sinewave output and are more suited to run
electronic equipment.
• If in doubt consult your genset dealer or
manufacturer for advice.
