Select diesel generator sets according to their intended use:
Common diesel generator sets: These types of generator sets operate year-round and are generally located in areas far from the power grid (or city power) or near industrial and mining enterprises to meet the electricity needs of construction, production, and daily life in these areas. At present, in regions with rapid economic development, due to the inability of power grid construction to keep up with the needs of users, commonly used diesel generator sets with short construction periods are set up to meet the needs of users. This type of generator set generally has a larger capacity.
Backup diesel generator set: Under normal circumstances, the electricity required by users is supplied by the municipal power supply. When the municipal power supply is limited or interrupted due to other reasons, a diesel generator set is set up to ensure the basic production and life of users. This type of generator set is commonly used in important power consuming sectors such as industrial and mining enterprises, hospitals, airports, and radio stations where the city's power supply is tight.
Emergency diesel generator set: For electrical equipment that may cause significant losses or personal accidents due to sudden interruption of mains power, emergency generator sets are often set up to provide emergency power to these equipment, such as fire protection systems, evacuation lighting, elevators, control systems for automated production lines, and important communication systems in high-rise buildings. This type of generator set requires the installation of a self starting diesel generator set, which requires a high degree of automation.
Combat diesel generator set: This type of generator set is used to supply power to civil defense and national defense facilities. It has the nature of a backup generator set in peacetime, but after the municipal power is destroyed during wartime, it has a commonly used generator set. This type of diesel generator set is generally installed underground and has a certain degree of protective capability.
