The Yamaha generator range in South Africa has been tailored to suit all kinds of electrical power requirements including that for households and small businesses, the construction industry and specialist users of “clean power” for switchboards, computer systems and other sensitive electronic equipment.
Rated outputs of the locally available Yamaha generator range are as follows:
Single phase 220V: from 650 watts to 16 800 watts;
Three phase 380V: from 10 KVA to 21 KVA;
Don’t worry if you don’t know what you need. We offer advice and comparisons so you can find the generator that suits your needs. Please refer to the “advice” section on the menu of this website. We are an officially authorised Yamaha generator dealer and can provide installation, parts and service on all Yamaha generators.
Generator Associates also offers Automatic Mains Failure systems. These AMF panels, when installed with certain generators, allow the generators to start up automatically when the main electricity supply fails. The AMF panels are fitted with amp meters and they can be set to start the Yamaha generator after various time lapses following a mains failure.
The available generators can be roughly categorised as follows: (see the tag “generators” in the menu above for more specifications on each generator).
1) Yamaha Inverter Generators – Sensitive electronic equipment
The Yamaha inverter models are light-weight, compact, quiet and they have inverter technology that produces a wave distortion ratio of less than 2.5%. These single phase petrol machines are rated from 900 watts to 2500 watts and are identified by the “i” in their descriptions (EF1000iS, EF2400iS, EF2800i). They are ideal for supplying “very clean” AC power to sensitive electronic equipment. The EF2400iS is so cleverly designed that two of these units can be stacked (one on top of the other) and connected to produce almost double the output.
2) Yamaha PETROL Generators – Households and small businesses
Yamaha’s mid range petrol generators all have automatic voltage regulation and the rated outputs range from 2 kW to 8.5 kW. These Yamaha generators are described as EF2600FW, EF5200FW, EF6600E and EF12000E. An AMF panel (Automatic Mains Failure) is available for the EF6600E and the EF12000E.
3) Yamaha DIESEL Generators – Home owners and small businesses
Single Phase
The Yamaha single phase diesel generators all have automatic voltage regulation and the rated outputs range from 4.3 kW to 16.0 kW. These Yamaha generators are described as EDA5000E, EDL11000E, EDL16000E and EDL21000E. The EDA5000E model is air cooled and mounted in an open cradle frame while the EDL range are all liquid cooled, mounted in semi-silent partially enclosed casings and can be connected to an AMF panel (Automatic Mains Failure).
Three Phase
The Yamaha three phase diesel generators all have automatic voltage regulation and the rated outputs range from 10.0 KVA to 21.0 KVA at 380V. These Yamaha generators are described as EDL13000TE, EDL20000TE and EDL26000TE. The EDL range are all liquid cooled, mounted in semi-silent partially enclosed casings and can be connected to an AMF panel (Automatic Mains Failure).
4) The Yamaha powered ENDURO generators – CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY The Yamaha powered ENDURO range are fitted into a sturdy open frame. This is ideal where the generator has to be transported frequently on the back of a bakkie. The ENDURO models run on petrol and have a rated output ranging from 2000 watts to 5000 watts and also include a WELDER/GENERATOR. These generators are described as YM2600, YM4500, YM5500 and the 200 Amp welder / generator is known as the EWL200. A 22 litre “long range” fuel tank is available as an option for all the ENDURO models except the YM 2600.
5) The smallest Yamaha generator – Hairdresser in the park
Yamaha’s tiniest generator, a 2-stroke petrol generator, is the ET950 with a rated output of 650 watts. It is compact and light and ideal for running a small appliance.
