Integrated Paralleling Offers Even More Options
Generac’s innovative Modular Power System (MPS) can provide the needed large kWs for hospitals along with the benefits of redundancy, scalability, and safety, through integrated paralleling. While it rarely happens, should your single large kW backup generator fail in an emergency, lives are at risk. With Generac’s MPS, you have at least one other backup/emergency generator operating to ensure critical operations continue. This means the kW requirements of the smallest genset in the paralleled system is sized appropriately to meet those needs. With our unique MPS you can also combine generators using a variety of fuels such as diesel and natural-gas. This not only gives you the benefits of genset […]

These deluxe units are the ultimate in lightweight portable diesel generator power and can be operated from dawn to […]
Supplier Convergence from Your Engine Provider
Supplier convergence; defined as a business model in which a company offers a combination of services or products that were previously supplied by separate companies. While this term is usually reserved for companies who merge to produce finished goods, the terms rings true on a smaller scale. Why would you want more eggs in one basket? …When executed properly, both companies win. The OEM sees a cost decrease through decreased paperwork & labor, while gaining a more valued partner. The supplier gains better understanding of the needs of their customer, while making it more difficult for a competitor to sneak in and take over, thus a long-term customer. What should […]

Effects of Engine Vibration
One big design consideration with any engine application is the effects of vibrations on the assembly. Every machine has different vibration characteristics that can contribute to unacceptable operation and comfort for the operator. Some major things to consider when faced with various vibration behaviors are the effects of different parts of the assembly, rotational balancing, and material properties of components. Different parts of any assembly affect each other through vibration. Each of the components in an assembly also has their own vibration characteristics that can be problematic. When sorting out a vibrations issue it is recommended to review the design of all components. Rotational balancing can also cause excess vibration […]

Benefits of Generac Modular Power Systems
Generac’s Modular Power System (MPS) is a combination of the industry’s most reliable generators and state- of-the-art integrated paralleling technology. The standard in the industry for a number of years was to provide a single generator set solution. Paralleled generator solutions are generally only used in large data centers or hospital applications in conjunction with expensive paralleling switch-gear; providing the owner with redundancy not included in a single generator set solution. This is a common practice in solutions above 1000kW where redundancy is desired, but traditionally comes with high price tag. Generac Modular Paralleled Solutions (MPS) remove the high price tag, providing the paralleling functions integral to the generator set […]
