Basic Knowledge about Generator Sets

Generally speaking, the diesel generator sets have large volume, and they can be operated parallelly and supply electricity for a long time, and they can work independently without working with local electrical net parallelly, so they have high reliability since they will not be affected by the electrical net fault. Diesel generator sets can be used as emergency power supply, and they can use some important loads by optimizing low-pressure system properly when the electricity is off. Therefore, projects usually use diesel generators as emergency power supply.

Indeed, cummins generator sets are widely used at many fields. For example, common generator sets have high requirement on the quality of the generator, engine and the controlling system in order to make sure that the generator sets have operation reliability, low fault rate and overhaul period and convenient maintenance and so on, and common generator sets do not have high requirement on the automation of sets. Spare generator sets are widely used for mining industry, enterprises and buildings and so on since temporary power failure will not cause much danger and loss, and they have wide choices since they can be chosen based on the clients' demand. Emergency generator sets are usually used for important occasions or departments like communication, bank and airport, hospital and so on since power failure could cause great danger or great loss, so emergency generator sets should not only have good starting property, reliable operation and low fault rate but also demand high automation level.

Generator sets also have several kinds of types, and we should choose right one based on our demand. deutz diesel generators do not have any protection and sound insulation, so they have loud noises, and they must be installed for using, that's why they are usually installed at fixed generator room instead of being used for portable electric source. Silent type generator sets have protection and sound insulation, and they can be used without any installations. Silent type generator sets are suitable for being placed at outdoor or being used as portable electric source.

Anyway, generator sets play an important role in present society since we can not live without electricity, and generator sets will supply power for us.
