Understanding Diesel Generator Set Grades And Selection Guide

With the development of human society and economy, the demand for electricity has become increasingly widespread. Many industries rely on electricity to maintain production and operations, such as the medical industry, schools, fire services, real estate, and large shopping malls. A sudden power outage would undoubtedly bring serious consequences. Therefore, diesel generator sets play a crucial role. However, diesel generator sets come in different grades and types, and only by understanding the differences between each grade can one correctly select a diesel generator set. Today, the editor from Guangxi Dingbo Generator Set Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. can popularize this knowledge for you.

Diesel generators are currently classified into four grades, G1, G2, G3, and G4, in accordance with international usage requirements and regulations. Let's first take a look at the differences between these four grades of diesel generators.

G1 grade diesel generators have certain regulations on the connected loads regarding the basic parameters of voltage and frequency in terms of performance requirements. They are mainly used for general purposes, such as lighting and other simple electrical loads.

The performance of G2 grade is relatively higher, and it also has certain requirements for voltage characteristics compared to the public power system. G2 grade diesel generators can be used in places with not particularly large power requirements, such as lighting systems, pumps, and fans.

G3 grade diesel generators have performance that can meet the power supply needs of some equipment, such as radio communications and loads controlled by thyristor rectifiers.

G4 grade diesel generators have quite strict requirements, especially in terms of frequency, voltage, and waveform characteristics. This type of generator can be used in data processing equipment or computer systems.

In addition to paying attention to the grade when selecting a diesel generator set, there are other aspects to consider. For example, the purpose of the unit, and then select the load and capacity according to different purposes; second, the operating environment of the diesel generator set (such as climate issues like high altitude, winter, etc.); third, the selection of the generator excitation method (brush or brushless); fourth, the automation selection of the diesel generator set (manual or fully automatic), and so on, which need to be considered comprehensively.

Finally, the price, which we are most concerned about, is related to the selection of the aforementioned grades and configurations. If you choose a higher grade with good configuration, the price will naturally be higher; if you choose a general configuration and grade, the price will be more affordable. This is only one of the factors affecting the quotation of diesel generator sets. There are other influencing factors such as brand, unit power, current market supply and demand, etc., which are all considered comprehensively when determining the price. Therefore, many people initially ask, "How much is a certain brand of generator set?" As a professional diesel generator manufacturer, the editor from Guangxi Dingbo Generator Set Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. finds it difficult to answer this question immediately. Because an accurate quotation can only be obtained by configuring a suitable unit according to your industry.

Guangxi Dingbo Generator Set Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to [email protected] we will pay highly attention on your question.
