Ask this bunch they have 3 KVA and up to about a megawatt if you
want:-))..

Their website is slow to update though..

It's not a caravan, it's a rather large amplified speaker on wheels :-)

Er, no.

I have been asked to find prices for a replacment generator for a moblie
first aid unit. One of the criteria is that it has to be able to supply a
standard 2kW kettle

You'll need a bike chain too. Suitcase generators are the most stolen
items on campsites and showgrounds. Some people never turn them off
and always have a light plugged in. They're OK when they're obviously
running and noticeable, but as soon as you turn them off they sprout
legs and walk 8-(


I had to re-read that a couple of times because I couldn't figure out
why you would need a bike chain. Then it clicked - you were referring
to a security chain, not the one that your legs drive the back wheel
with

YOu have to find out if there are any restrictions on noise. The 2.6kVA
Generac unit will do everythign that you want but it hits around 80dBA.
Which is painfully loud if you stand near it. A Honda unit suppying 3KVA
will be much quieter but will cost closer to £3,000 than £199


Eh, You can buy a Hilti 3KVA which will run kettle for £299 + vat from the
Centre at Portsmouth.

3kVA doesn't give you much power for a decent speaker system. You
really need at least 5kW *per side*, 10kW/side would better. But that
is tiny for an outdoor rig, the great outdoors don't half soak up
sound...


And sound don't alf carry 'out in the open'. It's summer time and
windows are open at night.


Takes me back to my acoustics course at University -- the unit of
sound absorbtion is indeed measured in "square metres of open window",
not that you'd appreciate that if you are outside said open window;-)
The absolute unit isn't much use in practice, you usually end up
using the unitless ratio.
