Many generator companies would have you believe they sell a quality products. Without some quality assurance company and certification backing them up, the claims are meaningless. Electrical devices must have UL, CSA or ETL laboratory testing for safety and to insure performance requirements are met. Without approvals buyers have no guarantee of quality. Certification is also required by law in most jurisdictions. Aurora Generators is proud to be the only company selling a generator of this kind that is ETL approved to UL & CSA Standard 22.2 No 100.  We don’t just talk about quality, we have quality assurance companies backing up our claims.

This portable diesel generator has the same engine and alternator as our enclosed silent diesel generator. It is different only because of the open frame and smaller muffler. (The silent diesel generator uses two larger mufflers and a catalytic converter. It also has the special thermal and acoustic insulation to keep it quieter)

We carry every single part imaginable so no matter how many hundreds or thousands of hours of use you may have put on it or even if you call us years later, if any problem ever arises we can help.

Portable Generator Panel

Cold Weather Starting

On the right side of the multi-meter you will notice a switch and light above it.  It is used to turn on the engine cold start heater. This is a feature most other generators do not have. On Aurora Generators when turned on, a heating element in the air intake glows red hot. Since temperatures below fifty degrees can be considered cold for starting a diesel engine, warming up the air makes it possible to start them in what would normally be difficult conditions.

Digital Panel Meter

For many customers having exactly 60 hertz and the correct output voltage is important. This Aurora Generator has a digital panel meter that shows you the frequency in hertz and the voltage output in a digital display.

Automatic Voltage Regulator

An automatic voltage regulator is used on this generator. It is very fast to respond to changes in load and corrects output voltage much faster than others without it. Other generators output voltage is effected by engine speed and sudden load changes. With an Aurora Generator if you are using a long extension cord that ends up having a voltage drop across it, you can increase or decrease the the generator voltage to make up for those losses.

Panel Outlets

On this generator, you can use all the power outlets at the same time. You have more power available than on you do with others that use a voltage switch. If you look carefully, you will notice other generators force you to select between their single pair of 120 volt outlets or the 30 amp 240 volt outlet. The outlets are just as you have in your home. They are rated at 15 or 20 amps maximum. Just as in your home, if you plug in more than a toaster or hair dryer you blow the fuse. Those 20 amp outlets at 120 volts only let you draw 2400 watts maximum. So why are those other brands claiming to be 6500 watts or more? The answer is, people just fall for it not knowing any better.

On Aurora Generators, you can use two pairs of 120 volt outlets each fused at 20 amps. That is double the power. 40 amps at 120 volts is 4800 watts. Plus, you can also use the 120/240 volt outlet at the same time without any switch.

Cleaner Emissions - Longer life - Less Noise

Our generator exhaust system uses a D.O.C. (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) It is responsible for eliminating 90% of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons making this diesel generator super clean and EPA 2011 approved.
