Trips when the compressor starts
The set may be undersized, unevenly loaded across its phases or faulty at the breaker. We measure each phase to find out.

Generator Work in Randfontein
Yes, we repair generators in Randfontein, from workshop diesels to house and plot sets. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; the technician diagnoses the fault on site and you get a written quote before any repair.
Randfontein grew up around gold mining, and today its residential suburbs sit alongside workshops, industrial premises and smallholdings on the edge of town. Since 2016 it has shared a municipality with Westonaria as Rand West City.
That mix shapes the visit. A workshop diesel runs welders, compressors and machines, so we test it under real load and check that all three phases stay balanced. On a smallholding the set often powers a borehole pump and outbuildings at the end of a long cable, so we measure the voltage at the far end as well as at the generator.
House sets in town tend to fail after standing, so we arrive with batteries, filters and common service parts in the vehicle.

Common Generator Faults in Randfontein
Workshop diesels in Randfontein tend to fail under load, while house sets fail after standing. We start with the test that matches how your set is used.
Low frequency on heavy machine loads
If the engine slows when machines start, we check the governor, fuel delivery and air filter.
Overheating in a dusty yard
Dust packs the radiator fins. We clean and pressure-test the cooling system once it is cold, and check the fan belt.
Will not start after a long stand
House sets in town usually need a battery or charger repair after weeks without running.
Low voltage at the far end of the plot
Long cable runs to pumps and outbuildings lose voltage. We measure at both ends and advise on the cable.
Three-Phase Workshop Generators in Randfontein
Workshop sets carry three-phase loads that start hard and change quickly. We check phase balance, the AVR and the engine governor with your machines running, then load-bank test the set if you need proof that it carries its full rating.
Generator Not Starting in Randfontein?
Tell us whether the set clicks, cranks slowly or cranks without firing, and whether it is a house set or a workshop diesel. Then call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605 and we bring the right parts.
Randfontein’s supply and what it means for a repair
Randfontein lies between Krugersdorp and Westonaria, and its jobs fall into three groups: three-phase diesels in workshops and industrial premises, house sets in the residential suburbs, and plot generators on smallholdings at the edge of town, some reached off the R28. Electricity comes through Rand West City or, on some rural properties, straight from Eskom, so a Randfontein set may be called on at different times from a Krugersdorp set a few kilometres away. When you call, tell us which group your generator falls into and how long it has been running on outages; it decides whether we start at the battery, the fuel or the load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair three-phase workshop generators in Randfontein?
Yes. We repair and service three-phase diesels at Randfontein workshops and industrial sites, and test them with your machines running so load faults show up.
Why does the generator on my Randfontein smallholding trip when the borehole starts?
A borehole pump can draw about three times its running power for a moment as it starts. If the set is small or the cable is long, it trips or the voltage drops. We test with the pump running and tell you whether the fix is the set, the cable or the pump’s starting load.
What does load bank testing cost?
Our cost guide puts load bank testing at R2,800 – R5,500, depending on the size of the set. That is an estimate; your free written quote sets the price.
Is Randfontein in the same municipality as Krugersdorp?
No. Randfontein is part of Rand West City, formed in 2016 when Randfontein and Westonaria merged, while Krugersdorp falls under Mogale City. We cover both, along with Westonaria and Roodepoort.
Can you come out at night for a breakdown?
Yes. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns. After-hours callouts cost R700 – R1,400, and the fee is only payable if you do not accept the quotation.
Do you repair petrol generators too?
Yes. We repair portable petrol sets for plots and homes, as well as diesel and gas generators.
