FG Wilson at 1000kVA

  • Sets around 1000 kVA are typically built around a large Perkins or Caterpillar engine, depending on the model.
  • A well-known brand with a long history of use across Nigerian businesses and institutions
  • New sets are priced at a premium over many alternatives, so compare like-for-like specifications

Mikano at 1000kVA

  • Sets around 1000 kVA may be quoted on request rather than from a fixed price list, so ask for the engine and alternator specification in writing.
  • A local presence, which can shorten delivery and make warranty and service conversations easier
  • The engine brand varies by model, so always confirm which engine and alternator are fitted before comparing with another brand

How to Compare Quotes Fairly

  • Ask for the engine make and model, and the alternator make and model, in writing
  • Check the duty rating: prime, standby or continuous
  • Compare canopy specification and control panel type, not only the headline kVA
  • Compare warranty length, what it covers and who honours it in your state
  • Ask for the current delivery time and what happens if the date is missed
