At What Load Is a Diesel Generator Set Most Efficient?
After years of configuring and supplying diesel generator sets for export projects, this is one of the most misunderstood questions I see from buyers and even some engineers. Many people assume that running a generator lightly loaded saves fuel and reduces wear. In real projects, that assumption is usually wrong. From real operating data and […]
I’ve Supplied Diesel Generator Sets for Years – What Buyers Get Wrong
After years of supplying diesel generator sets to importers, EPC contractors, and project owners, I’ve learned a simple truth: Most generator problems are not technical failures. They are decision failures made before the generator is even specified. This article isn’t a product overview. It’s a correction of the assumptions I see buyers repeat—assumptions that quietly […]
Top 10 Chinese Generator Manufacturers (2026)
What Ranking Lists Do, and Do Not Tell Global Buyers Each year, buyers around the world search for Chinese generator manufacturers hoping to identify reliable suppliers for industrial, telecom, infrastructure, or export-oriented projects. “Top 10” ranking lists are popular because they offer a fast overview of the market. However, they often fail to explain why […]

Understanding Mainstream Engine Brands and Generator Configurations When people search for Chinese generator manufacturers, most of them are not trying to find a factory address in China. Quick answer: Most buyers searching “Chinese generator manufacturers” want to understand the mainstream engine brands and typical genset configurations used in China today. Commonly used engine brands include […]
Diesel Generator Maintenance: What You Need to Know
Many customers only think about diesel generator maintenance when the lights go out—by then, it’s too late. Diesel generator maintenance is the key to ensuring reliable power and avoiding costly failures. The users follow strict routines to keep machines running smoothly. If you’ve ever faced a power outage during a critical moment, you’ll know the […]
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 […]
