What is the difference between silent and open generators?
Open type generators dont have a protective canopy or accoustic enclsures, whcih protects the generator from the elements, where as a silent generator does. Silent generators are quieter due to the acoustic enclosure. Open sets are typically installed in basements, or in buildings.
What are the 2 types of generator?
There are two types of generators, soundproofed (also known as silent type) and open sets (also referred to as basic sets). Soundproofed generators have a canopy, which protects the generator from the elements and also reduces noise levels. However a open set doesn’t, an open set is mounted directly onto a steel base leaving the major components exposed.
