One big choice in the world of generators is whether the customer wants to go with standby power or prime power. Here’s how the two measure up.
Standby Power
A generator built for standby power is one that is meant to stand in for a grid-connected source of power in the case of emergencies. Another way to explain this is that the standby power generator is designed to provide a continuous supply of power on command. This is extremely valuable in the event of a hurricane or storm or other power outage, where a business has to run on a sustained supply of energy. Companies need to think carefully about having a disaster recovery plan, not just to keep buildings safe and inhabitable, but to safeguard all of the real-time data that is increasingly important for business today. That is part of the vital role of standby power.
Prime Power
Experts explain prime power generators as being able to operate under variable loads.
Prime power generators are the kinds of systems that companies often deploy in the field in order to set up new projects. They can connect the equipment, turn on the generator, and draw from that generator as needed, which often involves various types of power draws. A trenching machine, chainsaw, or other larger equipment piece may have its specific draw, and that has to be factored into the way the prime power generator will work when brought to the job site
Other Considerations
In addition to choosing standby or prime power options, there are other considerations for buying the right generator for your business.
Buyers will want to look at questions like how a voltage regulator is set up, what a control panel looks like, and how fuel tanks are protected. All of this goes into the research and due diligence that it takes to get the right equipment for enterprise use.
