A reliable power supply is very important on the homestead to keep a lot of machines running all at once if need be, if your homestead is located in an environment where the power supply isn't up to the level of what you need to run day to day activities on the homestead then you will need a backup generator to keep things working, that should be the only solution if you are dealing with heavy powered devices that needs strong electricity supply to function.

The use of heavy-duty machines like the borehole machine that we are presently using an old model consumes strong electricity to apply pressure to the water for pumping and distribution into various channels in the homestead, the nature of this machine means that we have frequent electrical issues with both the electricity supply and the backup generators that are affected by how this machine run.

The pumping machine, in this case, has to be used with a stabilizer because the electricity supply in the past few days has been so bad that we have to move from one channel to the other just to get the good one for this machine.

If that is the case with the electricity supply that should be better and stronger, then generators would struggle to cope in the same vain; the generator here was bought based on the recommendation that it can carry a lot of load over time.

The problem was diagnosed to be from the valve that had gotten burnt due to the load on the generator; now, we have plans on how to reduce subsequent loads after the generator is fully back and functional, even if it means sacrificing some devices to strike a balance of the load the generator can carry and other maintenance that had stopped for some time.
