How to purchase a generator set correctly

Diesel generator is a kind of small power generation equipment, which refers to the power machinery that uses diesel as fuel and a diesel engine as the prime mover to drive the generator to generate electricity. The entire unit generally consists of a diesel engine, generator, control box, fuel tank, battery for starting and control, protection device, emergency cabinet and other components.
Generators are widely used in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology and daily life.

Nowadays, many unscrupulous traders and purchasers falsely report the brand and power of products in order to make huge profits, causing customers to have great misunderstandings about the brand and performance of diesel generator sets. So how to correctly purchase generator sets is what we are concerned about. Next Let me tell you about the pitfalls encountered during the purchase process.

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

2. Don’t talk about the relationship between long-line (rated) power and reserve power, just talk about one power, and sell the reserve power rate to customers as long-line power.

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

4. Selling units without protection functions (commonly known as four protections) to customers as units with complete protection functions, or even worse, selling units with incomplete instruments and without air switches to customers.

5. Don’t talk about the brand and grade of the diesel engine, generator and generator, the configuration of the control system, or the after-sales service. Just talk about the price and delivery.
