As the saying goes, there is only a wrong purchase. Diesel generator manufacturers advise everyone to be cautious when purchasing diesel generators. Regarding how to choose a generator, Wanpeng Power gave some purchasing suggestions in the hope of helping everyone to avoid the trap of merchants.

1. The power of the diesel engine is configured to be the same as the power of the generator in order to reduce costs. In fact, the industry generally stipulates that diesel engine power ≥ 10% of generator power due to mechanical losses. What is even worse is that some people mistakenly report the horsepower of diesel engines as kilowatts to users, and use diesel engines with less power than the generator to configure the unit. Commonly known as the small horse-drawn cart, which reduces the life of the unit, causes frequent maintenance, and high user fees.
2. Sell second-hand refurbished machines to customers as brand new machines, and some equip renovated diesel engines with brand new generators and control cabinets, making it impossible for ordinary non-professional users to tell whether they are new machines or old ones.
3. Regardless of the random accessories, such as whether you bring a muffler, fuel tank, oil pipeline, what grade of battery, what capacity battery, how many batteries, etc. In fact, these annexes are very important and must be stated in the contract. What's more, some don't even bring a water tank fan, allowing customers to open their own sinks.
4. We don't talk about the relationship between long-term (rated) power and reserve power, just talk about "power" and sell the reserve power to customers as long-term power. In fact, reserve power =1.1x long-running power. Moreover, reserve power can only be used for 1 hour during 12 hours of continuous operation.
5. Confusion between KVA and KW. Think of KVA as KW and sell it to customers. In fact, KVA is apparent power and KW is effective power. The relationship between them is IKVA=0.8KW. Imported units generally use KVA to represent the power unit, while domestic electrical equipment generally uses KW, so when calculating power, KVA should be converted into KW by a 20% discount.
