The generator installation site is selected based on the factors including right ventilation, proper drainage, stability, proximity to the electrical meter, and fuel source. When installing the generator, you should ensure that it is positioned away from windows and residential areas to avoid carbon monoxide exposure and reduce noise. It is always important to follow the [...]
To effectively clean diesel with fuel polishing, pump out the diesel fuel from the tank and send it to the filtration system that performs different stages of purification to eliminate unwanted contaminants including sediments, microbial growth, and water. After filtration, the clean diesel is again sent back to the tank; in this process, the unfiltered fuel [...]
Diesel generators use diesel of different grades including grade 1 diesel, grade 2 diesel, and winterized diesel. The type of diesel can be chosen based on the climate where you use the generator. In this blog, let’s discuss the different grades of diesel fuel used in generators and how to choose the right fuel for your [...]
The UL-142 and UL-2085 are the safety standards introduced by UL or Underwriters Laboratories that provide instructions or rules for constructing storage tanks for combustible or flammable liquids. The key difference between UL-142 and UL-2085 are: The UL-142 is a basic safety standard used to construct single-walled steel tanks to store flammable, combustible, and non-corrosive liquids. [...]
The generator provides power to the commercial buildings during a power outage. It helps to avoid financial loss, and data loss and offers seamless business operations. Generator installation in commercial buildings involves the following steps: Choose the appropriate size generator according to the available space Select the right location in your building to place the generator [...]
The generator glossary provides a list of all terms and definitions related to the components, operations, and technical terms used when discussing the workings of a generator. A generator is an equipment that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using fuel or natural gas, thus powering industrial appliances during power outages. In this blog, let’s discuss [...]
The transfer switch is a safety mechanism that ensures the smooth transition of power from utility power to generator power when outages occur. It prevents hazardous power backfeeding in the utility lines, protects utility workers, and saves your property. A transfer switch acts as a controlled switch by separating the industrial electrical system from the utility [...]
In order to choose the best marine engine, you need to consider factors such as engine weight, size, availability of parts locally, fuel efficiency, availability of service points, meeting emission compliance, and brand reputation.

Power outages during wildfires affect most prominent industries like manufacturing, financial services, information technology, healthcare, food, data centers, and city control offices. Power loss is unavoidable during any natural disaster, it disrupts business operations, delays production, and even death due to failure of life support in hospitals. Sudden climate change is very common in the US [...]
The conversion of generator frequency is essential when there is a load difference between the power produced in the generator and the power consumption of the equipment. If the generator frequency is different from the equipment's power load, it may damage the equipment or result in ineffective performance. The manufacturing place can also be a reason, [...]
