Key Considerations for 100KVA Generator Set Selection

The maximum capacity of a 100KVA generator set is to handle a 70KW electric welding machine. If you use an induction generator, a capacitor is required; however, generators with a formal excitation system (such as phase compound excitation, thyristor excitation, or third harmonic excitation) do not need a capacitor. If you use an induction generator (converted from an electric motor), it can only handle a 25KW welding machine and must be equipped with a capacitor.

After understanding why a 100KVA generator set can power an 80KW motor, attention must be paid to the following details when purchasing a 100KVA generator set:

(1)First, determine the required power of the unit. The diesel engine power should be at least 30% higher than the selected power, and the motor power should have a 10% reserve. If there is a high-power single motor (non-inverter start), the diesel engine power must be three times that of the motor to ensure smooth startup.

(2)Choose the brand and price range for the diesel engine and generator. For the diesel engine, prioritize configurations with mature technology, low fuel consumption, low maintenance costs, and high reliability. For the generator, select domestic manufacturers with regular mass-produced brushless motors, as their quality generally meets requirements.

(3) Select the unit control unit based on the user's operating environment. For example, rental industries or units where operators are unaccustomed to LCD screens can choose manual control panels, while locations with high automation requirements can opt for full LCD screens.

Since 1982, Dingbo Generator has been a generator set manufacturer qualified by the "National Internal Combustion Engine Quality Supervision and Inspection Center". The product quality has passed the IS09001 quality system standard certification. And obtained the qualification certificate for self-operated import and export. Over the years, Dingbo units have been widely used in all walks of life, and have won the network access qualification of the Ministry of Information Industry, the network access qualification of the Ministry of Radio and Television, the network access qualification of CNPC, the network access qualification of China Mobile, and the manufacturing qualification of marine units. In 2016, Dingbo was awarded the Certificate of Qualified Supplier of China Nuclear Power Group. Dingbo Generator has been cooperating with Shangchai Power for many years. In 2009, it became the OEM partner of Shangchai Power in China. Dingbo generator VOLVO unit ranks the top three in the Asia-Pacific sales volume, and is the core OEM partner of Sweden Volvo in the Asia-Pacific region.
