LTS 45A
The NHP/Socomec LTS 45A is rated at 45A. It suits applications where essential loads need to change between mains and generator supply automatically. Pair it with a compatible controller such as our DSE327, DSE331, DSE334, DSE335 or any of the generators we sell in the GSW, GDW, GPW and GRW range as these come standard with a mains failure controller. Do you already have a generator? Get in touch - we will see if your generator control system is compatible, or if you need one of the DSE controllers. CPS can assist with controller selection, configuration, switchboard design, generator integration, building load integration / compatibility, testing and commissioning with on-going support. Not just "ship it and forget about it".

Almost every conversation about generator sizing starts with two numbers: kVA and kW. They sound similar, they're closely related, and they're almost always mis-used. The beer-glass analogy below is the fastest way to get them straight in your head — and once you do, every spec sheet in the catalogue suddenly makes sense.
A generator is really three machines bolted together: an engine, an alternator, and a controller. They each do one job, and they all have to talk to each other for the unit to behave properly.
Almost every customer who asks us 'should I get diesel or petrol?' gets the same answer: it depends on the duty. For occasional camp / weekend use under 8 kVA, petrol is cheaper to buy and lighter to move. For anything that has to start reliably after sitting unused — backup, standby, prime-power — diesel wins, almost always.
