Fuel consumption depends upon the size of your generator and the load placed on it. To estimate fuel consumption, visit our generator sizing calculator
Generators and trucks are complex pieces of equipment. The problem with your equipment may be as simple as a rodent nesting inside of it has chewed through a wire. Or, something more challenging to diagnose may be going on.
As emissions restrictions have escalated, manufacturers have incorporated sophisticated electronics to control emissions output. In order to assess any problem that you are having with your equipment, we must thoroughly evaluate it, often with the aid of electronic diagnostic tools.
Periodic load bank testing is critical to ensuring that your generator is ready to perform when needed. Load bank testing is a process by which we run a generator with a real load on it (as if it was being relied upon to generate power — not simply idle). Load bank testing allows your generator to burn off carbon that builds up in the cylinders so it doesn’t bog down when it is actually needed. Depending upon your generator size and type, periodic load bank testing may be required. More information about load bank testing.
PTO stands for Permit to Operate. It is required to legally install and use your backup generator that is over 50hp. This type of permit is issued by your regional air quality management organization.
Both portable and stationary backup generators over 50hp are subject to emissions regulation. Regional air quality management, counties, fire protection, and local municipalities may all have authority in your area to govern your generator use. For help with specific regulations in your area, contact us and ask for our compliance department.
In order to make sure that your standby generator is functioning properly and ready to operate when a power failure occurs, it should be exercised with a load periodically. How often you can run your generator for this purpose is regulated by the air quality management authority. Contact us and ask for our compliance department for assistance
