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.

Price Expectations

Diesel generator sales specialists at “DAREKS TRADING SOLUTIONS” company consider the budget limitations our clients have and use flexible pricing policy to provide them with reliable power plants.

We are able to provide the best price conditions for diesel generators due to having a large assortment of power plants in Ukrainian company warehouses, as well as thanks to exclusive offers from our foreign suppliers.

Choosing a Diesel Generator Supplier

To properly choose a power plant supplier, it is important to determine the following about them:

01 availability of own service department,

02 cities where service department branches are located,

03 what warranty period the DGU supplier provides,

04 availability of components and consumables,

05 ability to execute a turnkey independent power supply system project.

Conclusion

The optimal diesel generator supplier will be one that provides:

01 energy audit of the facility,

02 power supply project execution,

03 calculation of required diesel generator power,

04 optional power plant modernization,

05 pre-sale preparation and testing,

06 service maintenance and diesel generator repair,

07 as well as fast and quality document preparation for tender bidding,

08 and most importantly, will offer the best price for a diesel generator with the necessary operational characteristics.

All these requirements and work principles are met by the team of “DAREKS TRADING SOLUTIONS” company, whose specialists have been providing independent power supply to Ukrainian households, enterprises, institutions and manufacturing facilities for over 25 years.

Three-Phase vs Single-Phase Generators: what is the difference

When choosing a backup power source, many buyers face the question: which generator is better — single-phase or three-phase? At first glance, the difference may seem purely technical, but the correct choice directly affects equipment stability, electrical safety, and generator efficiency. Today, generator equipment is widely used not only by industrial facilities but also by […]

Parallel Operation of Generators: when it is necessary

Modern businesses, manufacturing facilities, and critical infrastructure increasingly depend on stable power supply. Even a short-term power outage can lead to financial losses, equipment downtime, or the shutdown of important processes. That is why many companies use not one but several generators simultaneously. Parallel operation of generators makes it possible to create a more flexible, […]
