Pramac PX5000
The PX5000 is designed for intensive applications with a roll-cage frame, steel fuel tank, integrated transport kit and digital display.
Automatic Voltage Regulation helps stabilise output voltage, while oil guard and thermal protection support reliable operation.
CPS can assist with generator selection, site distribution and safe connection requirements.

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.
