How to Compare Gensets Before Buying
People all over the world rely on gensets for backup and sensibly so to ensure that you have power in even the worst of conditions. When preparing to compare gensets, the first thing to do is determine your wattage need. Simply add up the amps within your circuit box, either in total or limit to the necessary ones and multiply by 120 – a helpful rule of thumb is that 100 amps equal 12,000 running watts. Next check amps of each device that you will need to run simultaneously and add them. That will tell you what your need is.
There are various websites which offer information on the wattage that many devices require as well as tips and charts for easily calculating your wattage needs for the best genset in India. Local businesses may also offer the same. It is always a good idea, if possible, to get a little more power output than what you think you will need. This will help ensure that your needs are satisfied, that you do not over work your genset and that indeed you get the best genset in India for personal use.
It is highly recommended not to use over 75 to 80 percent of the rated wattage of any genset to ensure that you will get the maximum life expectancy. If you must settle on less output you should limit and or rotate the number of devices you run at any one time. Compare gensets by checking the running wattage they offer, or how much wattage can be produce continuously. Also, the surge rating will tell you how much power can be provided short term for such a device because start ups require a boost of extra power.
Now, there are basically three size groups of gensets available – small being 750 to 3,500 watts, on to medium at 4,000 to 8,000 and then large which is 10,000 to 17,500 watts, all with different genset price. The small is typically considered for recreation or as the most portable. They are commonly found at camp sites, on boats and those sorts of activities where as the medium size is considered for use as emergency back up for smaller homes and some businesses. The large and on up are also commonly used for emergency back up but for larger more demanding businesses.
Now, the wattage need can also help you determine what type of fuel is best. Or rather perhaps your preference of fuel type may help you instead determine what type of genset you will purchase. Both ways fuel is a factor and there are various fuel specific types offered. Some are even solar powered but most commonly you will find the typical gasoline, diesel, propane and natural gas types. The type and cost of fuel is another important factor to consider to calculate overall cost in addition to the genset price.
There are also multiple, or duel, fuel type gensets which allow for switching between fuels and, if not a stock option, there are kits which allow conversion of fuels for use on some types. Fuels burn differently and therefore it can and does effect the wattage produced in even the best genset in India.
