Frequently asked questions about diesel generators
What capacity range and voltage are available?
We supply diesel generating sets from 10 to 3500 kVA, at low and medium voltage.
How do I determine the right capacity (kVA) for my project?
Use the capacity calculator or send us your loads (lighting, air conditioning, motors, elevators) and we will recommend the right capacity with a safety margin.
What is the difference between standby and prime duty?
Standby operates only when the grid power fails, while prime is the site's continuous power source. The type affects the choice of capacity and the engine rating.
Which brands do you supply?
Cummins, Perkins, Baudouin, Doosan (Hyundai), Volvo and Mitsubishi engines, with Leroy Somer, Stamford, Linz and Meccalte alternators, and we recommend the best fit for your use and budget.
Are generating sets available with a silent canopy?
Yes, we offer generating sets with sound-attenuated, weather-resistant canopies, or open-frame, depending on the site and model required.
Do you offer installation and commissioning?
Yes, we provide supply, installation, commissioning and on-site testing, with automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels when needed.
How long does delivery take?
It varies by capacity, brand and availability, and we confirm it in the quotation.
Are maintenance and spare parts available?
Yes, we provide periodic maintenance, spare parts and technical support. Contact us for details.
How do I get a quotation?
Through the quotation request form or WhatsApp, sending the required capacity or your loads.
