Marine generator

GENERATOR SETS

For greater autonomy when sailing, crossing, racing or cruising, it's essential to consider additional energy sources to the boat's engine alone. What's more, the boat's fuel reserves (diesel) need to be kept to a minimum, in case you need to sail under engine power.

In addition to hydrogenerators, solar panels and wind turbines, which can be considered as supplementary devices, the marine generator is a perfectly reliable generator that can be used whatever the weather and sailing conditions.

It will provide the voltage and power needed to operate the electronic instrumentation, as well as comfort elements such as the refrigerator or heating.

These diesel engines are perfectly suited to their intended marine use.

In this category, you'll find our selection of generator sets: single-phase, three-phase, portable or stationary, in 220 V or 12 V.

MARINE OR LAND GENERATOR?

Marine generators are designed for use on board a boat, which means they are generally more compact and lighter, but also more resistant to sea spray, salt and water than conventional generators used on land. There is no real difference between a "special boat" marine generator and a "normal" generator.

However, this doesn't mean that land-based generators can't be used on board a boat. If you're looking to buy a generator for a boat, it's important to choose a model that suits your needs in terms of power, weight and size.

In other words, assess your needs in terms of electricity on board the boat, power requirements, how many batteries to recharge, appliances to power? How many outlets are needed? Where is the generator located? Because the generator can generate noise, you'll need to look at the noise level of your future purchase as well, etc...

You should also make sure that the generator you buy complies with current standards and regulations for use on board a boat.

MARINE GENERATOR AND ALTERNATOR

Marine generators are essential equipment for pleasure craft and professional fishing boats. They generate electricity to power the boat's various systems, such as lighting, electronics and propulsion equipment.

Boat generators are products that can be powered by a variety of energy sources, such as combustion engines, diesel or even gas engines. They are generally one of the boat's main power supplies, along with batteries.

Marine generators generally use an alternator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The alternator is powered by an engine, such as a Honda or Mase, which can be single-phase or multi-phase (single, three-phase, etc.). You'll need to check the number of phases on the alternator to make sure it's compatible with the boat's electrical components.

When purchasing an alternator, it's essential to take into account the engine's rotation speed (in RPM) and the alternator's power rating, to ensure that it is capable of supplying sufficient energy for the boat's various systems.

Finally, it should be noted that boat generators must be fitted with an efficient exhaust system to prevent gas leaks and guarantee safe operation. In addition, depending on the room in which it will be installed, you'll need to ensure that gases are properly exhausted to the outside.
