Generators come in all shapes and sizes and can tick the boxes of a very long list of uses.
As such there are many factors and considerations you need to take into account when choosing the right size generator for your needs, says leading international industrial products and solutions company, Atlas Copco
Knowing what generator size you need is critical for helping you select the most efficient options and evading the consequences of having a system that critically fails when you need it to work. “Not having the right size generator can not only damage the appliances and devices getting powered by it it can also harm the generator itself,” says Yuri Reijmer, Managing Director at Atlas Copco New Zealand.
Installing the correct size generator for your needs, ‘’will provide you with reliable performance with minimal maintenance requirements and it will also decrease the chance of system failures and will help to keep your employees safe,” adds Yuri.
The first factor you need to consider when selecting the right size generator is what your power requirements are going to be. Think about how and where the generator is going to be utilised and the amount of power and wattage it will need to continually support all your applications. Make detailed list of all the items the generator will need to power at any given time. “By estimating your power requirements, you can narrow down generator size selections into a definite capacity range,” advises Yuri.
Another factor to consider is your site conditions. Your altitude, humidity and temperature range will all have a bearing on how well your generator performs. Also consider other factors such as cable sizing, noise level, fuel type, capacity for potential expansion, emissions and voltage regulations.
