Portable Generators
Looking for an industrial portable generator? A generator is any device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy (as opposed to a motor which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy). Responsible for delivering electricity to consumers on a massive scale (electricity generation), generators use mechanical energy, such as water pouring through a dam or the motion of a turbine driven by steam, to produce electricity. With so much riding on the reliable delivery of electricity, and knowing that nothing can last forever, many industrial manufacturers are looking for alternative sources of electricity. A power outage is inevitable given that there are so many things that can cause long term blackouts, i.e., natural disasters like tornadoes and earthquakes, a blown transformer or a fallen tree. Anything longer than an hour delay in the delivery of electricity, however, can be more than annoying. It can cost you money in down time or by permanently damaging your process, i.e., frozen pipes. Some of the most popular brand name portable generators include Generac, Coleman, Guardian, and Yamaha.

If you're looking for a generator to use on an industrial site, portable generators are your best bet. Portable generators are ideal for those construction sites that move around a lot and usually have no electrical supply. A portable generator can provide enough power to operate saws, drills, air compressors, heaters, paint sprayers and other AC-powered tools. Visit Global Industrial for all your portable generator needs. |

Choosing
the Right Generator
To choose the right generator, you will need to know the electrical requirements
of the equipment you plan to operate. When it comes generators, there
are two wattage ratings that are important: steady-state wattage and surge
wattage. A 60 watt light bulb requires, as you would expect, 60 watts,
and it requires that wattage both when you turn it on and while it is
running. A fan motor on the other hand, might require 150 watts to get
it started and 75 watts to keep it running. The extra wattage required
to start a device is called the surge wattage and is typical of anything
that has an electric motor. If all you need is something to run a well
pump, water heater and refrigerator, then a 5000 watt generator might
do. It might cost you $600, but generators get even more expensive as
you move above the 5000 watt range, i.e., $2,000 for 10,000 watt generator.
For more demanding industrial applications, there are 400 kW generators
that would cost as much as $50,000. A 5000 watt portable generator requires
some space for fuel storage, will consume about a gallon of gas every
two hours, are pretty noisy and require regular maintenance. Power inverters,
on the other hand, are a very easy and inexpensive solution if you can
keep your power demands below the 200 watt range. They can be can be a
good alternative up to about 2,500 watts, although they tend to get expensive
at that point, i.e., $600 - $1000 for a 2,500 watt inverter. They are
also pretty quiet and are very low maintenance. That being said power
inverters are only good for very small power requirements for a very short
time.
