A petrol generator, also known as a gasoline generator, is a device that converts the chemical energy stored in petrol (gasoline) into electrical energy. It is commonly used as a backup power source or in situations where grid electricity is unavailable. Petrol generators are available in various sizes and power outputs, ranging from small portable models to large industrial-grade units. The power output is typically measured in kilowatts (kW) and determines how many electrical devices or appliances the generator can run simultaneously. Petrol generators are equipped with an internal combustion engine that runs on petrol fuel. The engine drives an alternator, which generates electricity. The engine size and quality can affect the generator's performance, noise level, and fuel efficiency. Petrol generators have a fuel tank to store gasoline. The tank capacity varies depending on the generator's size and intended usage. A larger fuel tank allows for longer run times without refueling. Petrol generators can have different starting mechanisms. Smaller models often have a recoil (pull-start) mechanism, while larger models may feature electric start, where a battery and starter motor are used to start the engine. Petrol generators are equipped with power outlets to connect electrical devices. Common outlets include standard household sockets (120V) and/or higher voltage outlets (240V) suitable for powering heavy-duty equipment or appliances.
