Diesel Generator Sets is an important power supply to people daily work, so the performance to diesel generator set effect people work, especially for the enterprise. How to buy diesel generator set with reliable quality? Here are some advices.

First, ensure to purchase the brand new diesel power generators. Some diesel generator supplier refurbished the genset, expecially for the engine, with a new alternator and control moude.  And normaaly the non-professional buyer can not tell whether the generator is new or old one. Therefore we need to check this firstly.

Second, people should know the relationship between KVA and KW. KVA is actually apparent power, KW is the effective power, and the relationship between them, for IKVA = 0.8KW. When the generator is in single phase, we express the output is KW, and for three phase, will express it as KVA.

Third, the power of the diesel generator set power generator configured as large, in order to reduce costs. In fact, the industry generally require ≥ generator power diesel generator power by 10%, because of the mechanical loss. This is some businesses also diesel generators horsepower as kilowatts false alarms to the user, and to configure the unit with less than generator power diesel generators.

Fourth, the only reported a diesel generator or generators brand, do not report the origin, not reporting units brands. Such as the United States Cummins, volvo, Sweden, United Kingdom, Stanford. Virtually any diesel generator sets are impossible to be done by a company independent. Customers should fully understand the units of diesel generators, generator control cabinet manufacturer and brand, to integrated assessment unit grade.

V, rated power(prime power) and back-up power(standby power) in the relationship, only said “power” back-up power as a long line of power sold to customers. In fact, back-up power = 1.1x long-line power. Moreover, the backup power can only be used in the 12-hour continuous operation for 1 hour.

Sixth, look at random accessories, such as with or without a muffler, fuel tank, oil pipeline, with what grade battery, how much capacity battery, several batteries and so on. In fact, these accessories is very important, it must be stated in the contract. What is more, even the radiator fan is not with the customer to engage in open pools.

Seventh, talk about diesel generator and generator brand grade control system configuration, not talk about after-sales service, to blindly just talk about the price and delivery time. Some will be non-power plant for oil, such as: marine diesel generators, automotive diesel generators for diesel generator sets. The quality of the end product – electricity the unit can not be guaranteed.

Eighth, some businesses will not be sold to customers with the crew of the protection function as a full-featured protection unit, and some even also instrument failure, without air switch unit to sell to customers.

In fact, the industry generally require the 10KW crew must with full instrumentation and air switch; large units and automation units with from four self protection features. Therefore need to know the time of purchase of these four protection.

In such a tight supply situation,Hamac Power, as an important backup power equipment manufacturing enterprise provides great convenience, therefore must be cautious when acquired, only be able to use more handy.
