Generator Hire
1500kVA Generator Hire
The largest set in our hire fleet, held in standard and super-silent build. Containerised bulk power for the projects that cannot go dark, synchronised where a site needs more than one.
The largest set we hire
1500kVA is the top of the fleet, and where a project needs more, we synchronise. This is the machine behind micro grids, network rebuilds and national infrastructure.
At the top of the range the work is infrastructure: network rebuilds, micro grids, defence installations, major processing facilities and utility projects with fixed, public outage windows. The set is containerised, the installation is engineered, and the commissioning is proved under real load before anyone relies on it.
We hold 1500kVA in standard and super-silent configurations, and we have installed them to network specification: 2 x 1,500kVA super-silent sets with ComAp IG1000 controllers and a 60,000L fuel system for AusNet Services at Corryong. Where a site needs more than 1500kVA, sets are synchronised to build the capacity.
- Top of the hire fleet The largest single set we hold, in standard or super-silent build.
- Beyond one machine Synchronised sets build capacity past 1500kVA with redundancy included.
- Installed to specification Delivered to network standard on utility, water and defence projects.

We size it on the call
Our electricians and generator specialists work out what will carry the load now, and what the connection needs to look like.
-
Dispatch and connect
The set goes out on our own float fleet, and our A-grade electricians make the connection and commission it on site.

We stay accountable
Fuel management, monitoring and on-call technicians until your operation is back on, stable, and no longer needs us.

Indicative figures. kW at 0.8 power factor, amps per phase at 415V three-phase.
Need more than 1500kVA?
1500kVA is the largest single set we hire. Beyond it, sets are synchronised to run in series and build the capacity your site needs.

Frequently asked
What does a 1500kVA set power?
Network rebuilds and micro grids, defence and government installations, major processing facilities and utility projects. At the top of the range the work is infrastructure, usually with a fixed and publicly committed outage window.
Is 1500kVA the largest you hire?
As a single set, yes. Beyond it we synchronise sets to run in series and build the capacity the site needs, which also brings redundancy that no single machine can offer. There is no practical ceiling on what we can arrange, only on what one machine can do.
Is there a super-silent 1500kVA?
Yes. We hold 1500kVA in a super-silent build and have installed them to network specification, including 2 x 1,500kVA super-silent sets with ComAp IG1000 controllers for AusNet Services at Corryong, together with a 60,000L fuel system for a micro grid.
How far will you travel with a set this size?
As far as the job needs. Melbourne and greater Victoria is the day-to-day, but we work Australia-wide: Corryong in north-east Victoria, Australia Post facilities across five capital cities, a Defence installation in the Northern Territory. Distance affects the timing and the mobilisation, not the service.
What is involved in mobilising one?
Heavy transport and crane placement from our own fleet, a designed temporary supply with control systems and change-over gear, a bulk fuel installation, and commissioning under real load with our own load banks. Bring us in during planning and all of that is designed rather than improvised.
Who is accountable once it is on site?
We are, from design through to de-mobilisation. Our own licensed electricians, mechanics and fitters install and commission it, our own technicians service it, our own trucks refuel it, and we are on call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
