Diesel Generator Sets Can Provide Reliable Power For Remote Projects

If you are a real estate, road construction, or mining contractor, you may often need to work in remote work locations without public power grids or reliable power sources. When you have several large or heavy machinery that needs to be operated at the same time, are you worried that your common power supply does not have enough power to meet the use of these machinery and equipment? If you have a large industrial-grade diesel generator at this time, you can easily meet all your power needs at any time or any place. Choosing a large industrial-grade diesel generator is a very big investment. Users need to do their homework. In this article, Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. will tell you how to choose a diesel generator set that suits you from the following questions.

Need to be continuous or standby?

How to use the generator according to needs will determine which type of generator will be selected. For example, for a 1500kw generator, three basic loads may need to be considered.

First of all, this is what most people think of when they consider leaving the generator on site in case of a power outage. These types of generators can be put aside or they may not be on site. They only need to power your most important equipment until you restore power.

Second, you might consider keeping a generator on site to cover those peak working hours when your power usage may surge. Having an alternative power supply will enable strong operation during these major load times.

Third, for heavy diesel generators that will continue to rely on. If you find that you often work in remote work locations that may not always have electricity, then having a 1500 KW diesel generator will give you peace of mind when doing these jobs, because it can run continuously and provide all heavy machinery electricity.

How to determine the power of a diesel generator?

Determining the power of diesel generators to purchase is probably the biggest worry for all users who buy diesel generators. If the power of diesel generators is large, it is a waste. If the power is small, it can’t drive the load. Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. recommends that users first calculate the maximum load they need, the calculation formula is: P=1.732UIF/1000(KW)

Where P is kilowatts, U is the voltage value, generally 400 volts. I is the current consumption value of the load, which can be read in the ammeter on the power distribution panel, and F is the power factor value of the load, which can be displayed in the power distribution panel. The power factor meter can be read directly, or through the measurement of the power factor meter.

1. If the maximum user load exceeds 8 hours a day, the common power of the selected unit should be 1.25 times the maximum load.

2. If the user's maximum load is running 4-8 hours a day, the common power of the selected unit should be 1.2 times the maximum load.

Through the above formula, you can accurately calculate the unit power you need. If you are still not sure about this, Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. can help you at any time, and we will have professional and technical personnel to calculate it for you.

Where to install the generator?

When considering buying the next diesel generator, please consider where to install it? Is it installed indoors or outdoors? Or need to be moved or stay in one place permanently?

In addition, please consider whether you need to make it immune to the weather? Many generators are installed in silent boxes or containers to protect them from the weather. Quiet box generators also help reduce noise emissions. If you are near a residential area, silent generators may help. If you need a mobile generator, then consider a mobile trailer-type diesel generator that can take the generator to where you need it anytime, anywhere.

Through the above questions, you will be guided to choose the most suitable diesel generator for you.
