Understand what is a generator set

A generator set (Filipino: Mga Generator Set) is a complete set of mechanical equipment that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. It consists of a power system, a control system, a silencer system, a shock absorption system, and an exhaust system. It is driven by a turbine, a steam turbine, Isang makina ng diesel, or other power machinery. It converts the energy generated by water flow, air flow, fuel combustion, or nuclear fission into mechanical energy and transmits it to the generator, which then converts it into electrical energy and outputs it to the electrical equipment for use.

Generator sets are widely used. Except for areas without power supply, all urban facilities are required to be equipped with one or more generator sets when they are delivered to ensure that key power units can operate normally when there is no power supply. You can see many generator sets or standby generators in various large venues in the Philippines. The generator sets we often talk about are usually diesel generator sets, which are mainly composed of diesel engines + Mga generator.

The main engine brands are

Mga Cummins, Weichai, Perkins

The main generator brands are

Mga Uri ng Generator Set

There are many types of generator set, and the application scenarios of each type are different.

Generator set function type

According to the function, it can be divided into prime generator set and standby generator set.

Generator set noise level type

According to the noise level, it can be divided into open type and silent type. Recommended according to customer requirements

Generator set mobile type

According to whether it is movable, it can be divided into stationary type and mobile type. Fixed generator sets are more widely used.

Generator set silent type

According to the silent unit type, it can be divided into ordinary silent box units and container units, the difference lies in the power size. (Containers are generally used for units above 800Kva-1000Kva)

What is the main generator set?

The power of the main generator set is also called continuous power or long-term power. In our country, diesel generator sets are rated with main power, iyon ay, continuous power. The maximum power that a generator set can use continuously within 24 hours is called continuous power. In a certain period of time, the standard is that there is 1 hour in every 12 hours that can be overloaded by 10% on the basis of continuous power.

Halimbawa na lang, if you buy a 100kw main unit, then there is 1 hour in 12 hours that can run at 110kw. If you buy a 100kw standby unit, if it is not overloaded and is usually opened at 100kw, in fact, the unit has been opened in an overloaded state (because the actual rated power of the unit is only 90KW), which is very unfavorable to the unit, and will shorten the life of the unit and increase the failure rate.

What is a generator standby unit?

The standby unit is also called an emergency power supply. The main purpose is that some units already have a stable power supply, but in order to prevent unexpected situations, such as circuit failure or temporary power outages due to force majeure, they still configure their own power supply for emergency power generation. Users include: telecommunications industry, banks, Mga paliparan, command centers, Mga Sentro ng Data, Mga lansangan, high-grade hotels, offices, mga ospital, atbp.

When the diesel generator set is used as a standby power supply, it provides continuous power supply for non-constant loads and has no limit on continuous operation time. On average, 1 hour of full load operation is allowed every 12 Mga oras, and no more than 500 hours of full load operation per year

Mga Tampok: Keep in standby status at all times, start running when the city power fails, ensure power supply, and meet the basic production and living needs of users

What is a generator ATS automatic unit?

Automatic units are generally used as standby units and cannot be mobile units. They have functions such as automatic start, automatic operation, and automatic shutdown. They are generally equipped with an ATS automatic switching system to realize automatic switching of loads between city power supply and oil power supply to ensure continuous power supply of loads.

Mga Tampok: Reduce dependence on operators and shorten the interruption time of load power supply.
