General information

Generators are one of the most reliable, efficient and cost-effective sources of power generating systems for optional or emergency applications. Generators are easy to set up, operate and can be used for most power system applications.

Diesel generators use diesel as fuel and is the most common type of generators. Although diesel is more expensive with regard to gas, it has a higher energy density, thus more energy can be obtained from the same amount of fuel. Diesel is less flammable, (safer), the sets require less maintenance, are more reliable and the initialization is also more economical.
