Technical solution on power of generator set

Many customers can't understand the power definition of diesel generator sets. So, Raines will explain it to you.
First, let's understand the power standard of the generator set;
The main power of the diesel generator set is also called continuous power or long-term power. In China, it is generally used to identify the diesel generator set with the main power. Internationally, it is used to identify the diesel generator set with the standby power, also known as the maximum power. After observation, Raines found that irresponsible manufacturers often use the maximum power as continuous power in the market to introduce and sell the generator set, This has caused many users to misunderstand these two concepts.
Secondly, regarding the power of the generator set, Raines gave an example.
In our country, the diesel generator set is rated by the main power, that is, continuous power. The maximum power that the generator set can continuously use within 24 hours is called continuous power. In a certain period of time, the standard is that every 12 hours, there is an hour when it can be overloaded by 10% on the basis of continuous power. At this time, the unit power is what we usually call the maximum power, that is, standby power.
If you buy a main 400KW unit, you can run to 440kw in one hour within 12 hours. If you buy a standby 400KW unit, if you don't overload, you usually operate at 400KW. In fact, the unit is always overloaded (because the actual rated power of the unit is only 360kw). This is very unfavorable to the unit, which will shorten the service life of the unit and increase the failure rate.
