Ford FG4650 Q Series Petrol Generator

The Ford FG4650 is a Q Series frame-mounted petrol generator.

Frame-mounted sets of this class are intended for working use rather than portability — site power, workshop backup, or standby for a property. The open frame makes service access straightforward, at the cost of being louder than a canopied machine, so it suits working ground rather than residential or event use.

Size it against the worst simultaneous load, not the average. Motor-driven equipment draws several times its running current while accelerating, and a set chosen on steady-state figures will trip whenever the compressor cuts in — our sizing guide covers how to allow for it.
