Best standby and portable Residential Power Generators in Pakistan

I have long been into the quest for a nice compact silent standby natural gas / diesel powered generator. But frequent trickery of the government of PPPP regharding power loadshedding as well as high prices of these units vetoed me from buying one. Anyhow, I have learnt a lot about residential power generation in the meantime. Moreover, emergency lights worked overtime in the in the interim. Especially the Panasonic and Sanyo ones were quite brilliant. Most recent addition in my arsenal to fight power outs is a Phone Line powered LED Lamp. My brother tried an Energizer unit but that was a total disappointment as it dimmed out in just a week's time.

A handful of reliable branded power generators are now available in Pakistan and are listed as bellow.

Best 100kVA Power Generators in Pakistan, for businesses


Base Ten International (BTI)

This company is marketing DENYO power generators as well as compressors and welding machines in Pakistan. Being a professional Mechanical Engineer who is serving in the field of construction equipment I can certify that Japanese KUBOTA and ISUZU diesel engines powering these units are quite better from rest of the world. BTI is offering power generators starting from 5 kVA to 83 kVA covering the requirements of many in single as well as three phase applications. Some units are available with an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR).

Electricity generating machines offered by KUBOTA are also good but are not available in Pakistan as yet.


Pak Elektron Ltd (PEL)

Portable power generators offered by PEL are gaining popularity among the masses who are unaware of the fact that their diesel 5 kVA unit is a KIPOR simply painted to match PEL theme. Anyhow, good after sale services provided by PEL are attracting more and more customers who just wish to get rid off the power load shedding menace.

An interesting fact about KIPOR is that a power generator of this brand is powering the world's highest Mobile Telephone Base station on Mount Everest.

Cummins Sales and Service (Pakistan) Ltd.

I have not yet seen a mechanical engineer working in the field of earth moving machinery who is uninformed about Cummins Engines. Gasoline powered generators offered by Cummins Pakistan can be easily improvised to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Natural Gas. Anyhow, at some time in the past I was a big fan of their portable generators and was about to buy one until the brand Briggs & Stratton came into my knowledge.

Kohler and SDMO

Top notch products from these two US and French Firms are available in Pakistan from TECHNOVISION outlets. 12RES of Kohler Standby Generator is one marvelous piece of technology which runs on Natural Gas available to domestic consumers. It is one of my favorites. I haven't read much about SDMO machines though these are great machines as well.

Honda

The Japanese faithful work horse. This is all what I have to say about this wonderful machine. After sales services are readily available in Pakistan. It is no doubt the first choice of every common citizen of Pakistan including me. My father bought his first Honda Generator back in 1980's which still runs fine without an air filter.

Local Indigenously Assembled Power Generator

High price of the imported units helped this practice mushroom a lot. Local experts are now offering their technical recipes. Tastiest of the recipes contains a Toyota 2E Gasoline Engine improvised to run on Natural Gas coupled with a Chinese Aluminum or Copper wound alternator. This arrangement runs two or even three window type air conditioners with ease.

Millat Generating Sets
Millat Tractors Ltd (based in Lahore) has long been a symbol of technical prowess in Pakistan. At the height of their expertise they tried to assemble Mitsubishi Jeeps for Pakistan Army, but their efforts met failure in the trials of the said organization and the order was placed for meaner Toyota Jeeps which are powered by a huge 4.5L straight 6 Petrol Engine. However, they continued to expand their empire and are now offering a number of agricultural products as well as Diesel Generating Sets. Their MPG-25 series sets of 15 to 25 kVA falls in the category of Residentail Power Generators for me at least. I expect quality from this concern due to it's affiliation with giants Perkins, Leroy Somer and Stamford. Further details can be found at;

Multiline Engineering Co.
Another engineering concern (based in Lahore) which has continued to show its presence in the relatively smaller engineering sector of Pakistan since long.

Moreover, Pramacs, Hondas and Yamahas are also on their inventory list. Details can be found at,
