How to choose a Stanford generator

Stanford generators have a variety of product models that can meet different requirements of use, so what users should do when buying is to 

correctly select the type.

Below will be an explanation of the consideration of the elements and the selection of type steps.

一、Concerned Factor

1. We have to consider what elementary parameters to choose for the generator, including what standards the generator should meet, how much 

power it needs, how much standby power it needs, its voltage, frequency, speed, and phase requirements; 

the requirements for efficiency and input power requirements; what are the temperature rise requirements; and what are the requirements of the 

control system.

2. We have to consider what kind of environment the selected Stanford generator model can operate in, mainly the relative humidity of the 

environment, the altitude, the temperature of the environment, etc., but also whether there is a specific climate. 

3. We have to consider the load situation, mainly including the steady-state load situation, the instantenous load situation, and the nonlinear load 

situation. Among them, the instantenous one is mainly the load of the motor, and the nonlinear one is mainly the load of the  UPS and SCR.

二、Steps of Selection

1. To calculate all possible loads, you can first calculate the load including generators and all mechanical and electrical equipment, then add the load 

of air conditioning, heaters, and other equipment, and finally add the load of lighting.

2. Identify all the factors that may cause a decrease in power in stable conditions, such as altitude, temperature, etc.

3. Calculate the transient load situation, mainly the total capacity of the generator when starting.

4. The nonlinear load conditions, including the distortion of harmonic voltage, are calculated.Finally, determine what the capacity of the generator needs to be, and then, in combination with the above consideration elements, you can choose 

a model of Stanford generator that is very suitable for your situation to be used. Users can refer to the above method when choosing.
