Professional assistance key to genset acquisitions

The most important consideration when buying a diesel generator set (genset) is to seek professional assistance from a genset supplier that will consider the entire electrical infrastructure, including the appropriate recommendation of the genset power rating, and not just the genset in isolation, says motors, controls, electrical products and solutions provider Zest WEG Group. The company’s rotating machines manager, David Claassen, further points out that, because State-owned power utility Eskom encourages both private and industrial users to reduce their electricity consumption and lessen the strain on the national power grid, various issues related to standby power have arisen for the different sectors.
