What size generator do I need?

Choosing the right size commercial industrial diesel generator is crucial as it affects the generator’s performance, efficiency, and lifespan. An undersized or oversized generator can lead to problems such as under-loading or over-loading. The size of the generator should match the intended use and application. Factors to consider when selecting a generator include phase, power output (KW, kVA), amperage, voltage, noise level, and fuel consumption.

Prime vs Standby Generators

An “Aurora prime power generator” is a generator that is specifically designed to provide a continuous source of electrical power for extended periods. These generators are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and mobile applications and often have to meet stricter emission regulations compared to standby generators. On the other hand, standby generators are primarily used as backup power sources and may be subject to less stringent regulations, making them more cost-effective. However, prime power and standby Aurora generators can operate continuously during power outages.
