Dayliff DG 1200P Portable Petrol Generator for Standby Power

Small enough to move between jobs and simple enough for daily use, the Dayliff DG 1200P belongs to the DG-P range of portable petrol generators built for mains standby duty and for supplying power on remote sites. It suits lighting, small tools, a few household circuits and other modest loads where a fixed supply is absent or unreliable.

The DG-P design is built around a reliable, economical air cooled OHV petrol engine fitted with a large exhaust and air cleaner to keep running noise down, driving a high efficiency square core alternator for consistent AC output. A strong tubular frame protects the set in transit, an integrated control panel groups the operating controls, and over current protection is of the fuseless type, so there are no fuses to source after a trip. Unlike larger sets in the range, this model is not fitted with the oil alert system that stops the engine on low oil level, so the oil level should be checked as part of the pre start routine.

Households, shops, workshops and site offices use generators of this size for standby lighting and power, while contractors keep them for tools and instruments away from the grid.
