Hi, The main difference is Fuel consumption. High current
genertors always consumes much fuel because the load on the engine
will be high. The high voltage low current generators doesn't need
much fuel to run. You can understand this by comparing 1 kva and 5
kva single phase generators. For both generators voltage will be
same (230v) But output current differs. So the fuel consumption
also differs. But you get a high current source. Low voltage high
current generators can be used for welding kind of stuffs which
needs high current to do the job. If you have step down transformer
then you can save the fuel.
