Generators Wicklow — Commercial, Farm & Standby Power
Supplying high-efficiency diesel generators, agricultural tractor PTO sets, and automated standby backup across all of County Wicklow with rapid delivery, certified installation, and 24/7 service from our depot via the M11 corridor.
Reliable Generators Wicklow Businesses & Farms Depend On
When securing emergency standby power in the Garden County, finding trusted generators Wicklow operations can count on is essential. Co. Wicklow presents a unique set of geographical challenges: exposed coastal communities like Greystones, Wicklow Town, and Arklow endure aggressive Atlantic and Irish Sea storm surges, while highland and inland agricultural zones across the Wicklow Mountains, Roundwood, and West Wicklow (Baltinglass and Blessington) frequently suffer prolonged grid dropouts during heavy snowfall and severe gales.
Severe weather warnings issued by Met Éireann routinely lead to overhead cable damage and transformer trips. For dairy parlours, poultry sheds, water pumping stations, and commercial cold storage facilities, even a three-hour electrical outage can trigger catastrophic operational losses, livestock distress, and spoiled inventory. Our heavy-duty standby and prime power generators provide fully autonomous protection, ensuring continuous 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase electrical supply the instant the national grid falters.
Every standby system engineered by Generators Ireland complies with the stringent grid connection, safety isolation, and anti-islanding standards defined by ESB Networks. For commercial and manufacturing facilities regulated under environmental noise and planning guidelines set by Wicklow County Council, our acoustic enclosures deliver super-silent attenuation down to 65 dB(A) at 7 metres, alongside double-walled bunded diesel fuel tanks that prevent environmental spillage.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Emergency Failover — Co. Wicklow
How our automated systems switch power seamlessly during severe Wicklow grid dropouts.
Grid Power Loss
ESB Networks Wicklow supply drops below 80% nominal voltage. The Deep Sea digital sensor instantly detects phase failure.
Diesel Auto-Crank
High-torque starter motor engages the engine. RPM stabilizes at 1,500 RPM, producing steady 50Hz frequency and clean sine wave voltage.
Load Transfer
Mechanically interlocked contactors isolate the mains supply completely before directing backup power to your main distribution board.
Safe Retransfer
Once ESB mains stabilizes for 5 consecutive minutes, the ATS seamlessly restores mains power, initiates engine cooldown, and re-arms.
Specialized Generators Wicklow Sectors Rely On
Power demands vary considerably across County Wicklow. Our technical engineering team provides custom-tailored installations based on specific industry loads:
Agricultural & Dairy Milking Generators
Dairy farms in West Wicklow, Rathdrum, and Shillelagh cannot afford milking delays or bulk milk tank cooling failures. We supply both stationary diesel generators with automatic start and tractor-driven PTO generators (20kVA to 85kVA) equipped with heavy-duty gearboxes and AVR voltage regulation.
Recommended: 30kVA – 80kVA PTO / Diesel
Commercial Facilities & Retail Hubs
Supermarkets, hospitality venues, and medical practices in Bray, Greystones, and Wicklow Town require instant power for refrigeration, POS checkout terminals, security lighting, and server rooms. Silent canopied 40kVA to 150kVA diesel units protect customer trust and operational uptime.
Recommended: 40kVA – 150kVA Silent Canopy
Industrial & Infrastructure Projects
For quarrying, timber processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and coastal marine engineering in Arklow, heavy-duty three-phase diesel generators (200kVA to 1,000kVA) provide continuous prime power with synchronization capability and extended runtime fuel bulk systems.
Recommended: 200kVA – 1,000kVA Prime Power
Wicklow Generator Capacity Sizing & Fuel Specifications
Choosing the right capacity avoids dangerous under-powering (which damages electric motors) or wet stacking caused by operating a diesel engine below 40% load. Consult our guide below or review our complete buying a generator in Ireland guide for step-by-step motor inrush calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions: Generators Wicklow
How fast can you deliver a generator to a site in County Wicklow?
From our South East distribution centre located directly off the M11, standard deliveries across Arklow, Wicklow Town, and Bray arrive within 24 to 48 hours for in-stock sets. For critical emergency failures, our dispatch team provides urgent same-day delivery.
Do I need an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) for my business or farm in Wicklow?
An ATS is essential if your site requires uninterrupted automated protection without human intervention. The switch continuously checks mains voltage; when the grid fails, it automatically cranks the generator and transfers the load in under 10 seconds. For farms where someone is always on-site, a manual changeover switch can also be installed to ESB compliance standards.
What size generator do I need to run a modern Wicklow dairy parlour?
Most dairy farms with a 10-unit to 20-unit milking parlour, vacuum pumps, milk cooling tank, water heater, and scraper systems require a 30kVA to 50kVA generator. Larger herds or robotic milking systems typically require 60kVA to 80kVA sets to handle the electric motor startup surges.
Are your diesel generators compliant with Irish environmental and noise guidelines?
Yes. All our standby and prime power units feature heavy-duty galvanized sound-attenuated canopies and 110% fully bunded integrated fuel tanks, meeting Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards and Wicklow County Council noise abatement requirements.
