Generators in Kempton Park

Kempton Park lives alongside OR Tambo International, and that shapes its generator needs. Freight forwarders, aviation suppliers and warehouses in Spartan, Isando and Chloorkop run large diesel gensets and automatic changeover, because a stopped conveyor or cold room is costly. Isando also hosts many engineering firms, dealers and rebuild workshops, so parts are close at hand. Residential areas such as Glen Marais, Birch Acres and Bonaero Park rely on smaller petrol and diesel sets during municipal outages and cable theft. Tembisa clinics and businesses need dependable backup too. Summer storms and kerosene-laden airport air add wear to filters and alternators.

Typical automatic transfer switch requests in the area come from:

  • Factories, mines and sites: large motorised transfer switches with phase failure detection and load priority
  • Shops, offices and restaurants: a three phase ATS that keeps tills, servers and fridges on supply within seconds
  • Homes: a single phase ATS that starts the standby set during load-shedding while you are out
  • Clinics, schools and towers: fast, logged transfer for clinics, cell towers and pump stations that cannot stop
  • Estates and complexes: an ATS keeping gates, lifts and booster pumps running for every unit without a caretaker
  • Lodges, venues and events: unattended changeover at lodges and guesthouses so guests barely notice an outage

Local conditions in Kempton Park

The main thing that wears out generators in Kempton Park is fine airborne grime and long run hours, so ask for shorter filter intervals and a run-hour based service plan. A set that is looked after for local conditions starts first time when the power goes off.

At about 1 680 m above sea level, expect roughly 8% less output than the nameplate rating from a naturally aspirated engine, and summer highs around 26 °C. Automatic Transfer Switch usually covers 5 to 1,000 kVA, diesel, petrol or LPG with electric start.

What to include in your request

  • Give the generator kVA and whether it has electric start
  • Say whether the supply is single or three phase
  • Note the main breaker size on the board
  • Mention any inverter or solar system already fitted
  • Send a photo of the distribution board

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.

Frequently asked questions

What does automatic transfer switch cost in Kempton Park?
It depends on the generator, its size and condition, the parts needed, travel to your site and how urgent the job is. As a rough guide: R6,500 to R18,000 for a home ATS, three phase more. Send your job card and an electrician or generator installer serving Kempton Park will quote you.
Does altitude affect generators in Kempton Park?
Yes. Kempton Park sits at about 1 680 m, where thinner air costs a naturally aspirated engine roughly 8% of its sea-level output (turbocharged sets lose less). Size a new generator with that margin, and ask the technician to check the air filter and fuel settings. See generators for sale in Kempton Park.
Can I hire a generator in Kempton Park while mine is repaired?
Usually, yes. Hire companies serving Kempton Park rent out portable and trailer-mounted sets by the day, week or month, with delivery, fuel and cables quoted separately. See generator hire in Kempton Park.
Do you repair or sell generators yourselves?
No. We don't repair, sell, install or hire anything. We pass your job card to independent technicians, dealers and hire companies, who quote you directly. Describe the generator and the problem so the quotes are easy to compare.
