How to Choose the Right Generator for Your Needs

When it comes to choosing a generator, most users look for a balance between power, ease of use, and reliability. The right generator should provide a stable power supply for your home, workshop, or business — even when the grid goes silent.

Let’s take a look at two modern synchronous generators from the Millennium Machinery range — PG-D 90 TEA-S HC and PG-D 650 SE. Both are highly reliable, powerful, and built for long-lasting autonomous operation, but each has its own advantages depending on your needs.

PG-D 90 TEA-S HC — Power and Stability for Home and Business

The PG-D 90 TEA-S HC is a synchronous generator, ideal for home backup power or small business use.
It is designed for stable performance in all conditions and equipped with everything needed for safe and convenient operation.

Advantages:

Suitable for domestic power supply, equipped with a manual mains disconnector switch.
Ready for automatic mains isolator (ATS) connection — convenient if you want a fully automated backup system.
Equal Power Function — delivers nearly the same output in 230V and 400V modes (most generators lose up to 30% in 230V mode).
Power output: up to 8.0 kW (active) / 10.0 kVA (apparent).
Digital display, electric start, insulation, temperature, and oil level monitoring.
Robust steel frame, ergonomic front connections, large 25L fuel tank, and long runtime up to 12 hours at 50% load.

PG-D 60 TEA-S HC — Versatility, Comfort, and Long Operation

Reliable home backup power, built for comfort and safety.
- Quiet and comfortable at home – sound pressure level from just 67 dB(A), with a noise-insulated diesel engine that meets Euro 5 emission standards.
- Long runtime when you really need it – 15 L fuel tank and up to 8.5 hours of operation at 50% load, ideal for extended outages.
- Easy cold starts – electric start (E-Start) and built-in pre-heating for reliable ignition in low temperatures.
- Stable power for sensitive devices – AVR voltage regulation, digital display (voltage, frequency, hours) and Equal Power function, giving up to ~80% of 400 V power available at 230 V.
- Smart protection & monitoring – oil level, temperature and insulation control help protect both the generator and your equipment.
- Ready for full automation – supports connection of manual or automatic transfer switch (ATS) for seamless home backup power.
