Generator Maintenance Promotes Reliability and Saves Costs
While all generators require maintenance, commercial and industrial generators exhibit marked differences from their residential counterparts. Designed to withstand rigorous and prolonged operation under challenging conditions, these generators serve demanding needs. They vary widely in size and configuration, offering outputs spanning from 20 kVa to 500 kVa or bigger. To optimise their performance and reliability […]
Generator Installation in South Africa: General Principles
Installing a diesel generator in South Africa is a technical process, combining regulatory compliance, environmental considerations, safety measures, and adherence to code. Since generator installations are inherently dangerous, meticulous and experienced professionals are required to provide safe and compliant installations. The overview of the key steps and considerations provided in this article are not intended […]
Generator Rentals: A Viable Solution in South Africa’s Power Landscape
Why would a company consider generator rentals as opposed to buying their own unit? In a power landscape marred by poor strategic decisions, decades of mismanagement, corruption, and inadequate maintenance, Eskom’s ability to provide a stable electricity supply in South Africa has become increasingly unreliable. Frequent technical failures result in extended outages, and the poorly […]
Commercial Generators: Powering Critical Infrastructures and Industries
In essence, commercial generators consist of an engine, a fuel tank, a voltage regulator, some form of engine speed control, and a starting mechanism, typically a battery and starter motor. Early designs consisted of two distinct components – a dynamo, in the case of direct current (DC) output machines, or an alternator, in the case […]
Large Generators for Continuous Electrical Power
Diesel generators, including large generators, generate electricity by rotating an electric alternator using power from a diesel engine. The combined efficiencies of diesel generators typically fall between 30% and 50%. This efficiency range underscores the effectiveness of diesel generators in converting fuel into electrical power. Diesel generators fulfil a crucial role as practical and reliable […]
Choosing Generator Rental: An Alternative Approach for Businesses
Acquiring a generator for business use? The dilemma is whether to opt for generator rental or pursue an outright purchase. The decision-making process now extends beyond motor vehicles and office equipment to include equipment for companies operating in the challenging South African power-supply environment. Continuous, reliable power supply is becoming a thing of the past […]
