Electricity in Rural Areas

A PTO generator is powered by the power take-off (PTO) shaft of a tractor or similar machinery. As a result, PTO generators do not require their own engine, making them significantly more affordable than motorized generators despite their high performance and reliability. The PTO generator is mounted on the tractor using the 3-point hitch and connected to the PTO shaft. When the PTO shaft begins to rotate, it generates electricity for various types of consumers.

All PTO generators come equipped with a voltage, amperage, and frequency meter and are supplied with an RCD (Residual Current Device) and ground spike. The larger models, starting from the AGW AWB4-37X, feature an hour meter and electronic voltage regulation. These generators are commonly used in agriculture, forestry, municipal services, or disaster relief organizations. PTO generators with a speed of 1,500 rpm are referred to as 'slow runners' and are particularly robust and well-suited for continuous operation. Milking machines (computer-controlled or with electronic regulation) have the same requirements for voltage and frequency stability as conventional electric motors and power tools. This means that the supply through our compound or electronically controlled AVR PTO generators is easily achievable. AVR is a protective device that continuously measures the output voltage and regulates it within a narrow band with an accuracy of +/- 1-2% relative to the rated value. The voltage regulator also maintains voltage consistency even during load and speed fluctuations (generator speed >/< 1,500 rpm) or shuts off as needed.
