Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Prime Power Generators in Canada
What is a prime generator?
A prime generator is a type of generator designed to provide power on a regular basis, often in off-grid locations or for applications where the generator is the primary source of electricity. It is capable of handling variable loads and running for extended periods, making it ideal for construction sites, remote operations, or events.
What power outputs are available for prime power generators?
Prime generators, designed to provide reliable power for extended periods, come in a wide range of power outputs to meet the needs of industrial and commercial applications. These generators typically start at 10 kW for smaller operations and extend to over 2,000 kW for large-scale, high-demand operations. Prime generators are used in scenarios where the generator is the primary source of power, such as construction sites, remote facilities, and industrial plants requiring consistent and flexible energy supply.
What are the fuel options for commercial generators, and which is best for prime power?
Prime power generators from T&T Power Group are available with diesel, natural gas, and propane fuel options.
- Diesel generators are often chosen for their durability, high efficiency, and reliability, especially in remote or industrial settings.
- Natural gas generators offer a cleaner and quieter solution, ideal for areas with access to gas infrastructure.
- Propane generators provide clean-burning fuel with excellent cold-weather performance and on-site storage flexibility, making them suitable for environmentally conscious users that do not have access to natural gas.
The best choice depends on fuel availability, cost, environmental factors, and the operating environment of the generator. T&T Power Group experts can help you determine the most suitable fuel option for prime power applications.
How often should a prime generator be serviced?
Prime generators, which operate as the primary power source for industrial and commercial applications, require regular maintenance to ensure consistent performance and reliability. Always follow the generator manufacturer’s guidelines for preventative maintenance. For prime generators, this often includes:
- Oil and Filter Changes: Recommended every 250 to 400 operating hours, depending on the workload and operating conditions. Generators running continuously may require more frequent servicing.
- Comprehensive Maintenance: Tasks such as fuel system checks, coolant level inspections, air filter cleaning, and electrical testing should be performed every 1,000 to 2,000 hours or at least once annually for intermittently used generators.
- Continuous Operation Generators: For 24/7 use, stricter intervals, such as 200 to 300 hours for basic maintenance, may apply to accommodate the intense workload.
Following these service intervals ensures your generator operates reliably, prevents unexpected failures, and extends its operational lifespan.
What is the difference between prime and continuous generator?
The key difference lies in their usage:
- Prime generators are designed to handle varying power loads and are used as the primary power source for a set number of hours (typically up to 12-16 hours a day).
- Continuous generators, on the other hand, are built to provide a constant power output at a fixed load without any time limitations. They’re typically used in industrial applications where uninterrupted power is critical.
Are prime power generators suitable for use in Canada’s extreme winter conditions?
Absolutely. Prime power generators from T&T Power Group are designed for reliability in extreme Canadian winter conditions. Diesel prime power generators are ideal for cold climates, as they offer high power output and can be equipped with optional cold-weather kits to ensure optimal performance. Propane and natural gas prime power generators are also viable options, with propane excelling in cold weather and offering on-site fuel storage flexibility for remote areas. Regardless of your fuel choice, prime power generators can be packaged in weatherproof, winterized enclosures.
Can T&T Power Group assist in selecting the right prime power generator size and type for my facility?
Yes! T&T Power Group specializes in helping businesses choose the right prime power generator to meet their energy requirements. By assessing your facility's operational needs, environmental factors, and budget, our experts can recommend the most suitable generator to ensure cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. Contact T&T Power Group today for tailored recommendations and support.
Can a standby generator be used as a prime generator?
In most cases, no. Standby generators are designed for short-term use during emergencies and are not built to handle the extended runtime required of a prime generator. Using a standby generator as a prime generator can lead to increased wear and tear and reduced lifespan.
