Jul. 16, 2025

We often learn some tricks to avoid being deceived. When buying things like Cummins diesel generator sets, we also need to learn some relevant common sense. Now, let's follow the editor of Guangxi Dingbo Power to find out!

1.First of all, you need to determine the power of the generator set you want to choose. The power of the diesel generator should be more than 30% larger than the selected power, and a 10% reserve for the motor power should be left. If there is a high - power single - motor (non - variable frequency start), the power of the diesel generator should be three times larger than that of the motor to start the motor smoothly.

 

2.You should make a choice on the brand and price of the diesel generator and the generator. For the diesel generator, you should consider configurations with mature technology, low fuel consumption rate, low maintenance cost, and high reliability. For the generator, generally, the products from regular domestic manufacturers that mass - produce brushless motors can meet the requirements.

 

3.The choice of the control unit of the generator set should be based on the place of use. For example, units where operators are not used to using LCD screens can choose manual screens, while places with high automation requirements can choose full - LCD screens.

 

4.When purchasing, you should also guard against unscrupulous manufacturers from falsifying the power of the generator and the diesel generator. You should also ask whether the cooling water tank and the generator are made of pure copper in the configuration of the generator set.

 

There are several factors to consider when purchasing a diesel generator set:

 

(1) If there is a gap between the operating environmental conditions and the rated environmental conditions of the diesel generator set, the temperature, humidity, and altitude should be specified at the time of signing the contract to ensure a suitable model and supporting equipment are provided.

 

(2) The cooling method to be adopted during use should be specified, especially for large - capacity units.

 

(3) When placing an order, in addition to specifying the unit model, the specific model of the equipment should also be indicated.

 

(4) The voltage regulation rates of diesel generator sets are 1%, 2%, and 2.5% of the rated voltage respectively. You should specify which one to choose.

 

(5) Under normal supply conditions, a certain amount of vulnerable parts will be provided. If you need more, you should also state it.
