7 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Generator
Looking for a reliable energy solution during power outages? Choosing the right generator is crucial. Whether you need one for construction, industry, or emergency use, be sure to consider these 7 important factors before buying or renting a generator.
1.Power requirement (kW/kVA calculation)
The first step is to calculate the power you need. Determine the total power demand of the equipment you will run, including startup surges. An underpowered generator can damage your equipment, while overpowering results in unnecessary cost.
Tip: Consult an electrical engineer and plan for 10–20% extra capacity.
2.Fuel type: Diesel, petrol or gas?
Generators run on different fuels. Diesel is ideal for industrial use, petrol for small needs, and gas is more environmentally friendly and quieter.
3.Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
ATS ensures your generator starts automatically during a power outage. It is essential for hospitals, data centers, and security facilities.
4.Portability and ease of transport
If your projects move frequently, or the generator is needed in multiple locations, choose a portable model with wheels. At Atlas,we also offer transportation and installation services.
5.Noise level
Silent generators are ideal for offices, hotels, and residential areas. Look for models with 60–70 dB operation for minimal disruption.
6.Technical service and spare parts availability
Besides choosing a good brand, make sure service and spare parts are accessible. At Atlas, we provide post-sale service and original spare parts.
7.To rent or to buy?
If you need a generator for a short period, renting is more cost-effective. For long-term and intensive use, purchasing is a better option. Atlas offers both solutions with flexible terms.
