Buying Guide

Size a generator by adding up the running wattage of all equipment you need to run simultaneously, then add 25-50% headroom for motor startup surge. For a site running an SDS drill, site lighting and a radio, the JCB-G3600P (3.6kW continuous) provides comfortable capacity. For a site running a compressor, multiple power tools and lighting simultaneously, the JCB-G8000PE (7.9kW continuous) is the right choice. Both generators feature AVR regulation, producing clean AC power suitable for battery chargers, inverters and sensitive electronic equipment as well as motors and resistive loads. The G8000PE offers both 115V and 230V output simultaneously — useful for sites where 110V site tools are in use alongside 230V equipment. Always run generators outdoors or in a fully ventilated space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are JCB generators suitable for sensitive electronics?

Yes. Both JCB site generators feature AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation), which produces stable, regulated AC output suitable for battery chargers, laptop computers and sensitive electronic equipment as well as power tools and lighting.

What is the output of JCB petrol generators?

The JCB-G3600P delivers 3.6kW (4.5kVA) continuous output. The JCB-G8000PE delivers 7.9kW (9.8kVA) continuous output. Both output 115V and 230V simultaneously.

How long will a JCB generator run on a full tank?

The JCB-G3600P runs 13 hours at 50% load and 7 hours at full load from a 15-litre tank. The JCB-G8000PE runs 8 hours at 50% load and 5 hours at full load from a 25-litre tank.
