How to Choose Your Dream Generator

This article is not made for Google search robots and is not AI-generated; in it we try to give readers advice that will help them buy a diesel generator.

When communicating with a client, a professional diesel generator sales manager should find out the following from the buyer:

01 required generator power,

02 usage mode,

03 need for automatic start or other options,

04 price expectations or budget limitations.

Power Determination

When determining diesel generator power, it is very important to consider the starting currents of the equipment to which the generator will supply power. This information can be taken from the equipment’s technical passport or from the nameplate, a photo of which you can send to a sales specialist.

Also, our engineers can independently conduct an energy audit of your facility and help determine the required diesel generator power or recommend an optimal DGU + frequency converter complex. In many cases, using a diesel generator set and frequency converter can save money by purchasing a lower power plant.

Usage Mode

Generator usage mode is no less important aspect than its power. This is because equipment for periodic short-term and prolonged high-load operation differs significantly in characteristics and price.

In the first case, such diesel generators operate in households and during short-term, emergency absence of electricity. As a rule, such DGUs use engines and alternators of Asian manufacture with standard engine life and service intervals.

In the case when the generator is the basis of an independent power supply system, its cost increases significantly due to the use of professional components that are specially adapted for prolonged intensive operation. These power plants are equipped with professional engines from leading world manufacturers such as: Baudouin (France), FPT/IVECO (Italy), Volvo (Sweden), Perkins (Great Britain), Doosan (South Korea), SDEC (China), etc.

Need for Automatic Start or Other Options

An automatic start cabinet (ATS) is necessary in cases when:

01 the owner does not want to manually start the diesel generator, especially if this needs to be done at night, during rain or snow,

02 electricity for production or other processes must be supplied continuously, as, for example, in hospitals, glass manufacturing, plastic molding, or in systems on which work and life safety depend, etc.

Other options include:

01 enlarged fuel tank,

02 electronic engine speed regulator,

03 remote start and monitoring unit,

04 synchronization system for two or more stations,

05 installation of diesel generator on trailer, etc.
