A diesel generator set is some time referred to as a gen set for short. Diesel generating sets are used as backup emergency power if the power grid fails. They are also used in areas where electricity is not available such as construction sites or remote locations. They come in various of sizes and are available in portable or standby units. Small portable diesel generators range from 1kVA to 10kVA, while the larger industrial generators can range form 8kVA to 2000kVA. The larger industrial diesel generators are used for homes, offices, hospitals, small shops. Small power stations use diesel generator sets sized up to about 5 MW, they may use from one to 20 units . In these larger sizes, engine and generator are brought to the site separately and assembled along with ancillary equipment. Diesel generator sets are selected by the load they are intended to supply power to. When selecting a diesel generator set you need to take into account the type of load, if it for emergency or for continuous power, and the size of the load, and size of any motors to be started which is normally the critical parameter.
