Just a pto genny here, no issues with a4s but apparently a5s are picky on backup power

What happens in the event of a power cut or routine line work by the electric company? Does anyone install backup gennies?
I thought the NIE boys loved nothing more than a weekend call out? Some good overtime right thereNormally hire a gennie for routine work and have got away fairly well with breakdowns as it's never off too long. Big storms on a Saturday brings me out in a cold sweat, could be a long wait until Monday morning.

100A three phase PTO generator with regulator for £2000. Worth it for peace of mind? It would probably pay for itself after having to hire one in on short notice for a couple of weekends?my m2s are always alarming due to power fluctuations in bad weather, especially if a section of the grid gets knocked off guess it causes a voltage drop, if the a5s are bad aswell must be the actuator controllers that are senstive. Not got a gene here but got 3 numbers I could ring and switch gear ready to wire one in, 6-7k for a electric big governed 100kva gene seems steep considering I not used one for the 5.5 years we been going in new set up.
Got our diesel one 15 years ago as the bottling plant needed 3 pH to run pasteruiser and seperator. Since we got a 3ph supply 6 years ago the biggest issue is remembering to make sure the battery remains charged so it starts on the odd occasion when mains go down. Would probably replace it with a pto one when it needs replacing. - for the above reason.100A three phase PTO generator with regulator for £2000. Worth it for peace of mind?

Most robots milk cows.Yes, as the other two above have said, try to stretch the budget to two, will make start up easier and give spare capacity if you have a breakdown. Pick your brand of robot on what local dealer support you can get, and how well you get on with that dealer. All of the 3 major players in the robot market (lely fullwood Delaval) make robots that do the job fairly reliably.
Need to know as wellAnyone know where I could get the joystick of a de Laval robot scraper fixed? Or a second hand one? Touch screen not working can’t set up new routes.
