How to Calculate the Horsepower of a Diesel Generator
When sizing a generator, many people feel stuck converting between kilowatts and horsepower—it’s confusing but critical for choosing the right unit. To find the horsepower of a diesel generator, we multiply its kilowatt rating by 1.341. This gives us a rough but practical conversion to mechanical horsepower. Let’s walk through how I usually explain this […]
Why a 100kVA Generator May Use More Fuel (And How to Fix It)
When your fuel bills keep rising but your power needs remain the same, something is definitely wrong. A 100kVA generator consumes more fuel due to poor load management, mechanical inefficiencies, low-quality fuel, or improper maintenance routines. I’ve seen too many buyers surprised by high fuel costs, even with premium generators. As a generator manufacturer, I […]
How to Calculate Battery Size for a Diesel Generator
When a generator fails to start, most people blame the engine. But very often, it’s the battery behind the problem. The battery rating of a diesel generator is calculated based on voltage, capacity (Ah), and cold cranking amps (CCA), considering the generator’s engine size, starting current, and ambient temperature. If you’re not sizing the battery […]
Can a Diesel Generator Charge an Electric Car?
EVs are booming, but in many regions, public charging infrastructure is still limited. What if we could power them with diesel generators? Yes, diesel generators can charge electric vehicles—indirectly—by powering compatible EV chargers or charging stations, especially in remote or off-grid areas. Many people in rural or off-grid regions struggle to charge EVs reliably. Diesel […]

The best diesel generator for home use is one that balances power output, fuel efficiency, low noise, and safety features. Brands like Perkins, Cummins, and WALT lead the market. You don’t want to waste money […]
How to Calculate Diesel Generator Fuel Consumption
Fuel costs can eat up your profits fast. If you don’t know your generator’s fuel consumption, you can’t manage your operating expenses. You can calculate diesel generator fuel consumption using a simple formula: Fuel Consumption = Power Output (kW) × Specific Fuel Consumption (L/kWh). Fuel efficiency is the heart of diesel generator operations. Whether for […]
How Does a Silent Diesel Generator Work?
Sometimes a power solution needs to be powerful, reliable and quiet. But how can diesel generators stay silent? A silent diesel generator uses soundproof enclosures, advanced mufflers, and vibration isolation systems to reduce noise levels while maintaining high performance. It delivers power without the noise. Noisy generators can disturb people, break regulations, and limit use […]
