How to buy a generator set correctly

A diesel generator is a small power generation equipment, which refers to a power machine that uses diesel as fuel and uses diesel as prime mover to drive the generator to generate electricity. The entire set of units is generally composed of diesel engines, generators, control boxes, fuel tanks, starting and controlling battery, protection devices, emergency cabinets and other components.
Generators have a wide range of uses in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology and daily life.

Nowadays, many bad vendors and purchasing agents have falsely reported the brand and power of their products in order to make huge profits, which has caused customers to have great misunderstandings about the brand and performance of diesel generator sets. So how to correctly purchase generator sets is what we care about. Next, I will tell you the traps encountered in the purchase process.

1. Confusing the relationship between KVA and KW, treating KVA as KW exaggerates power and selling it to customers. In fact, KVA is apparent power, KW is effective power,

2. Do not talk about the relationship between long-distance (rated) power and backup power, just talk about one power, and sell the backup power to customers as long-distance power.

3. Only report the diesel engine or generator brand, not the place of origin, not the unit brand

4. Sell units without protection functions (commonly known as four protections) to customers as units with complete protection functions. What's more, units with incomplete instruments and without air switches are sold to customers.

5. Don’t talk about the brand grade of diesel engines, generators and generators, control system configuration, don’t talk about after-sales service, just talk about price and delivery
