Abstract
Energy is one of the most important needs for humans, and electricity is one of the energy needs needed to support various human activities both day and night. One source of electrical energy is obtained by using a generator as a power plant. The generator set is used as a backup when the electricity supply from PLN is cut off.Efforts to get a good performance generator set are made by improving the combustion quality to increase efficiency. Tests carried out on a four-stroke one cylinder generator capacity of 1.5 PK with variations in load and type of spark plugs are standard, platinum, and iridium, which at 3000 rpm engine speed with a load of 350, 700 and 1050 Watt pertalite fuel with a volume of 10 ml. The value of Torque and power has increased along with the increased engine load. The optimum generator performance is obtained at a load of 700 watts when using this type of platinum spark plug. The maximum engine power generated is 1,092 HP. Torque of 2.59 Nm and the lowest fuel consumption (SFC) of 0.484 kg/hp.hour.
