Diesel generators are one of the most common forms of standby power in the world. A diesel generator produces electricity through a combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator. The power of the diesel generator is transformed by the alternator into a usable electrical current. This reliable source of power is often used by many businesses and homes for protection against power failure. Do I need a diesel generator? Diesel generators are commonly used by a variety of different organisations including data centers, banks, hospitals and factories. It’s vital to take action on your power back-up - no business is too big or small to have a diesel generator solution in place. When should I use a diesel generator? A UPS system will provide power protection during power disturbance and blackouts, but it is not designed to deliver backup power indefinitely – if your business’s critical power source must remain online, a standby generator is crucial to assist your existing UPS system. What size diesel generator do I need? The generator must have sufficient capacity and be of a size to correctly recharge the UPS batteries and cover the conversions losses of the UPS. Generally, the maximum step load of generators falls around 65% of the total rated capacity of the generator. A generator must be sized at 172.5k or 72.5% larger than the UPS – a 100kVA UPS for example, can draw 115kVA so this size will work to accommodate the step load.
