There are manual, automatic and remote control models, the first two are the most commonly used.
Manual generator set, in which the operator starts, closes, regulates speed, breaks brake and stops the generator set on site. Features: Vibration and noise, oil mist and waste gas generated during operation have adverse effects on the health of operators.
Automatic unit, usually used as a backup unit, has functions such as automatic start, automatic operation, and automatic shutdown. Generally, an ATS automatic switching system is equipped to achieve automatic switching of loads between mains power supply and oil engine power supply, ensuring the continuous supply of load power. Features: Reduce dependence on operators and shorten the interruption time of load power supply.
Remote control unit, remote monitoring automatic diesel generator set, commonly known as "three swing" unit or unit with intelligent interface. Features: The microcomputer control technology is adopted to implement comprehensive automatic control for the diesel generator set. Using RS232 or RS485 communication ports to achieve real-time remote control, signaling, and telemetry of dispersed units at the central station.
