5 Simple Tips That Help You Choose the Right Perkins Generator Set

 A generator set is a reliable and versatile power source during utility outages. Perkins is one of the world's leading providers of diesel engines and its engines are famous for low operating cost and impressive performance. In this article, Dingbo Power shares several tips that can help you select the right Perkins generator set.

 

1.Ensure your specific needs

 

Before selecting a Perkins diesel generator set, you should determine your specific needs, such as the intended use of generator, a portable or a fixed one, the power size of diesel generator set you need, the fuel type you prefer and so on. This will help you find the most suitable generator and improve the working efficiency and service life of the equipment.


5 Simple Tips That Help You Choose the Right Perkins Generator Set

 

Most important of all, you need to determine what power size of Perkins diesel generator set is right for you. For example, if you plan to use it as a backup power supply for your house during power outages, you need to know the number and total power of the electrical equipment and appliances needed to power. Consider both the sum of all electrical power of the appliances that will operate at the same time and the starting power of each electrical appliance. Assess your power requirements and choose a Perkins generator set with a sufficient power output to meet your needs.

 

2.Know about product parameter

 

Before an investment is made, you need to know certain things about the technical data of a Perkins generator set, such as the displacement, number of vat, compression ratio and so on. This will help ensure the generating set you purchase has a stable performance and meets the practical requirements.

 

A number of people who are new to Perkins generator sets may be puzzled by their various technical specifications and have no idea which one should be paid attention to. In general, you first need to know a little bit about the prime power, rated voltage and rated frequency. If you've been searching for a generator for your home or business, you may have come across the terms prime and standby. It's worth noting that there's a distinction between prime power and standby power.

3.Compare different Perkins diesel generators

 

When you're buying a Perkins diesel generator set, you should always shop around for the best deal. Buying a generator on the Internet helps you easily do some comparison shopping and find the best price. Compare the different bands and types of Perkins diesel generators on the market and understand the differences between their performance, costs and other things, so that you can choose the most cost-efficient product. Of course, diesel generator sets can not be simply compared to the price, the configuration should also be considered. The optional configuration like with or without ATS (automatic switching device) has a great impact on the price. Consider the operating environments and determine if your diesel generator set needs additional configuration.  

 

4.Pay attention to warranty and after-sales service support

 

A Perkins generator set that comes with a warranty will bring you peace of mind and protection against potential defects. You should look for reputable manufacturers or suppliers of Perkins diesel generators who offer good after-sales services to ensure the timely technical support and maintenance for your equipment during use.

 

5.Consider the user evaluation

 

Considering other users' reviews and feedback of the products also helps you make an informed decision and choose the right generator set. If the reviews of the product your are searching for are almost positive, it will be a good idea to choose it.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...
