How To Measure Diesel Generator Voltage

After using Dingbo Power diesel generators, all most users get benefits from their diesel generators. When continuous power supply, when mains power failure, diesel generator will start automatically. Really this is a method to resolve the problem of power off and short electricity.

The power sources of diesel generator also is called diesel generator voltage. To confirm which voltage is easier than that choosing diesel generator power capacity. After confirm the voltage, then to choose diesel generator power capacity.

This is a important problem, because too small power can not supply enough electricity for your equipment. If diesel generator power is bigger than your need, you will lose money.In order to help you calculate the generator voltage you need and finally invest in the right generator, Dingbo Power here lists a guideline on how to determine your generator voltage for your reference.　

1.Measure the electricity consumption you need.

List all the equipment you want to drive with the diesel generator. This is very different depending on the type of business you are engaged in, so don't rush through this step. You can find the wattage of all equipment on the nameplate or in the manufacturer's guide. You need to add the total power of all those equipment, and the sum of these will indicate the power required by the equipment. Just by obtaining this number, the minimum power required by the diesel generator can be calculated.

2.Convert the load you need.

In order to calculate the maximum wattage required by your equipment, you will finally get the total power required in “kW”.

The device is "real energy" and is used to produce useful output. Assume that the rated power of the generator is kilovolts (kVA), which is an "observable" power indicator that tells you the total power used by the system.

Therefore, you need to convert your equipment kW to obtain the required KVA from your generator. For example, if your total power supply is 52kw, you need at least 65kva diesel generator. For kW and KVA, you can consult the experts of Dingbo Power company to learn more about the conversion methods of kW and kVA.

3.Confirm operation demand.

Theoretically, the maximum power operation of the generator shall not exceed 60 minutes. Therefore, you should choose a generator with large capacity. If you use a generator as a common power supply until your grid returns to power, you must ensure that you have 70-80% capacity during this time. Next, in order to improve performance, 20-30% safety margin is reserved, which can also meet any power demand in the future.

4.Installation of diesel generator.

Now that you know how to calculate the power required by the generator, you can find the generator that best suits your needs. If you want to make sure you buy a large diesel generator that can provide you with enough power, you have to choose a generator expert to help you.　　

Dingbo Power can help you calculate kW and KVA and help you select the diesel generator that is most suitable for your company. Now, Dingbo Power has a variety of models of spot diesel generators to ensure that you get the uninterruptible power supply suitable for you. Contact us by email dingbo@dieselgeneratortech.com, we will work with you.
