Key Points for Testing when Purchasing Second-hand Generators

Second hand generators are generally very reliable, but there are many unknown factors. For example, a used car is difficult to determine how the previous owner treated these devices. So it is important to pay attention to which issues when buying a second-hand generator. Dingbo Electric recommends that you check the five points before purchasing.

1. Load balancing test

 

The mobile load group unit is designed to accurately simulate the operation of the generator. Match the power output of the generator to ensure that it does not experience overload issues, which could result in the inability to supply power to the building.

 

2. Suppliers of generators

 

It is very important to purchase a second-hand generator and where to purchase it, as this will give you an understanding of the condition of the equipment. Industrial diesel generators are complex mechanical equipment that require senior engineers to maintain and test in order to achieve optimal operating efficiency.

 

Dingbo Electric strongly recommends that you choose a supplier who has a thorough understanding of generators and has a good sales record for used generators. Because they conduct a thorough inspection of the generator before selling it, it is very safe for you. The cost of generators is high, so it is important to ensure that you purchase products from professional institutions or institutions you trust.

 

3. The lifespan, working hours, and utilization rate of the generator

 

Before purchasing a second-hand generator, the first thing to do is to check the operating time, age, and usage of the generator set you want to purchase. Like a car, most generators have odometer readings that tell you how many hours it takes. In addition, it also helps to understand its purpose and whether it is used as a backup or primary power source.

 

The generator used for backup is usually better maintained and in better condition than the main power generator. But it should be remembered that some traders usually obtain generators by canceling redemption rights, so they usually do not know their history or where they came from.

 

4. Reputation of generator manufacturers

 

Purchase used generators and pay attention to the history and reputation of the generator manufacturer. Undoubtedly, any manufacturer with negative comments and reputation should try to avoid them as much as possible. As long as you realize that you have chosen a trustworthy manufacturer to produce reliable equipment, you can invest and purchase with confidence.

 

5. Vision examination

 

If you don't understand, find a professional technician to check all mechanical parts on the generator for wear or fatigue, including cracks or accumulated corrosion. All problematic components should be replaced. For example, bearings and bushings are difficult to test for wear, and Dingbo Electric recommends replacing them regardless of their performance and conditions.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...
