Does anyone know of a supplier local to the UK that provide portable gen sets capable of 690V?

These folk can source several manufacturers and they ship world wide. I have had good luck and good warranty coverage, but the sets were good quality and warranty claims were very few.

RE: 690V Portable Gensets UK

That's a new one for me Bill.

Two I'd try initially are

Aggreko
Fox & Cooper

Aggreko have some halfway knowledgable people on the staff if you can find them. I usually find the general plant hire companies like A-Plant and Hewdens have nice equipment but it is difficult to find anyone with strong technical knowledge. I had a load of problems trying to explain that I wanted to use their generator for a primary injection test and I was attaching a ~2000A single phase load to the set and controlling the excitation myself. In the end I just rang someone else and asked for the generator and didn't bother with any explanations.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
