What Is a Baustellen Generator?

A Baustellen Generator is a portable power source used to provide electricity on construction sites where grid power is unavailable, limited or inconvenient.

Construction sites commonly require temporary electricity for:

power tools;
lighting equipment;
charging stations;
maintenance equipment;
welding machines;
pumps and compressors.

Traditional construction generators usually use diesel or gasoline engines to generate electricity.

Modern battery power stations provide another approach: storing electricity in a battery and converting it into usable AC power through an inverter.

Diesel Generator for Construction Sites

Diesel generators remain widely used in construction because they can provide continuous power for demanding applications.

Advantages of Diesel Generators

Long Operating Time

A diesel generator can continue operating as long as fuel is available, making it suitable for:

large construction projects;
remote sites;
continuous high-power applications.

High Continuous Output

Large diesel generators can provide significant power levels for heavy equipment and multiple loads.

Established Construction Application

Many contractors are already familiar with diesel generator operation, maintenance and fuel management.

Limitations of Diesel Generators

Despite their advantages, diesel generators also have some limitations.

Noise

Engine operation creates continuous mechanical noise, which can be a problem in:

residential construction areas;
indoor environments;
noise-sensitive locations.

Exhaust Emissions

Diesel generators produce combustion exhaust during operation, which may create challenges in enclosed or restricted environments.

Fuel Management

Construction teams need to consider:

fuel transportation;
storage;
refueling;
maintenance.

For short-duration tasks or locations where low-noise operation is important, a battery-based solution may be more practical.

Battery Power Station as a Baustellen Generator Alternative

A battery power station works differently from a diesel generator.

Instead of producing electricity through combustion, it stores electrical energy in a battery and converts it into AC power through an inverter.

For professional construction applications, the main advantages are:

low operating noise;
no exhaust emissions at the point of use during battery operation;
easier mobility;
reduced fuel logistics.

The Fullas FPG3600 is designed around this concept.

For construction users, several specifications are particularly important.

3,600W Rated Output for Professional Equipment

The rated output indicates the continuous power the system is designed to provide.

This makes the FPG3600 suitable for many temporary construction applications where users need electricity for:

tools;
lighting;
maintenance equipment;
charging systems.

However, professional buyers should always check the actual power requirements of their equipment.

Surge Capability for Starting Loads

Many construction tools do not consume the same amount of power during startup and normal operation.

Equipment such as:

motors;
compressors;
pumps;
welding equipment;

may require higher startup power.

The FPG3600 provides short-duration surge capability under specified conditions, including:

150% load for more than 500 seconds;
200% load for more than 50 seconds;
250% load for more than 10 seconds.

This information is important because a construction power source should be evaluated by both continuous output and temporary overload performance.

Battery Power Station vs Diesel Generator: Construction Site Comparison

Factor	Battery Power Station	Diesel Generator
Power generation method	Stored battery energy + inverter	Diesel engine + alternator
Noise	Very low operating noise	Engine noise during operation
Exhaust	No exhaust at point of use during battery operation	Combustion exhaust
Fuel requirement	Requires charging	Requires diesel fuel
Mobility	Easy transportation depending on model	Depends on generator size
Long continuous operation	Depends on battery capacity and recharge access	Strong advantage
