A continuous generator is designed to provide a consistent power supply at a fixed load without any interruptions. These generators are often used in industrial applications where power demand remains constant, such as manufacturing facilities, data centers, and utility operations.

The main difference lies in their load-handling capabilities: 

• Continuous generators deliver a fixed power output over an extended period and are ideal for steady applications like base-load power in industrial operations. 
• Prime generators are designed to handle variable loads and are used as the main power source in scenarios where power demand fluctuates, such as remote work sites or temporary installations. 
  

Continuous generators are designed to provide a constant and uninterrupted power supply for applications requiring long-term operation under a steady load. Power outputs for continuous generators typically range from 100 kW to several megawatts, depending on the size and requirements of the facility. These generators are ideal for healthcare facilities, industrial operations, data centers, and other applications where reliable, 24/7 energy supply is critical.

• Alternative Fuel Generators make use of other fuels that may be available at the project location, often reducing environmental impact and waste. 

The best choice depends on fuel availability, cost, environmental factors, and the nature of your continuous power requirements. T&T Power Group’s experts can help you select the most suitable option.

Continuous generators should be serviced regularly to ensure reliable and efficient operation under constant use. Always follow the continuous generator manufacturer’s service schedule for preventative maintenance to ensure compliance with warranty requirements. Most manufacturers recommend performing basic maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, every 250 to 500 operating hours, with more comprehensive inspections and servicing after 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For generators running 24/7, this translates to frequent checks, typically every 1-2 months. Key tasks include inspecting the engine, testing electrical connections, cleaning components, and ensuring cooling systems are functioning properly. Regular maintenance minimizes the risk of breakdowns and maximizes generator lifespan.
