Electric Generators
Electric generators and generator sets from 7 to 835 kVA for main power supply, energy support and emergencies in industry, construction, agriculture, shops, buildings and infrastructure.
Electric generators for industrial use and emergencies
At Electrochannel you will find electric generators and generator sets intended to provide power in installations without stable access to the grid or as a backup system in the event of power cuts.
The range includes equipment with power ratings from 7 to 835 kVA, covering everything from small shops, agricultural holdings and telecommunications to industries, hospitals, logistics centres and large infrastructures.
We offer models equipped with engines from manufacturers such as Volvo Penta, Deutz, FPT, Cummins, Kubota and Raywin, depending on the series and selected power rating.
Generators according to service type
Before choosing a generator set, it is essential to determine whether it will operate as a regular power source or only as backup during a grid interruption.
Generators for main service or Prime
Equipment configured for PRP or Prime Power service can be used as the main power source within the load, maintenance and operating conditions established by the manufacturer.
They are suitable for installations without grid connection, construction sites, agricultural holdings, mining, events, telecommunications and machinery rental.
Within this range, models with Deutz, FPT, Cummins engines and other power units intended for professional applications can be found.
Emergency or Standby generators
Emergency generator sets are designed to provide temporary power when the main electrical supply is interrupted.
They can be integrated with an automatic transfer switch panel to detect grid failure, start the equipment and power the installation until the supply is restored.
They are common in hospitals, hotels, data centres, residential buildings, shops, industries, warehouses and other facilities where a power outage can cause damage or losses.
Generator sets according to power rating
The power required will depend on the connected equipment, its consumption, start-up peaks and the possibility of simultaneous operation.
Low and medium power generators
Lower-power models offer solutions for small businesses, agricultural installations, telecommunications, homes, workshops, lighting, tools and auxiliary equipment.
- Compact formats for limited spaces.
- Soundproof options depending on the series.
- Models with Kubota, Raywin, Deutz or Cummins engines.
- Use as auxiliary, main or emergency supply depending on the configuration.
High power generators
High-power generator sets are intended for factories, hospitals, large stores, logistics centres, infrastructure and industrial processes with high energy demand.
- Power ratings above 100 kVA.
- Models reaching more than 700 and 800 kVA.
- Volvo Penta, FPT, Cummins and other industrial engine options.
- Open versions for technical rooms.
- Soundproof versions for outdoor installations, depending on the model.
Open and soundproof generators
The external configuration of the generator set must be chosen according to the installation location, environmental exposure and acoustic requirements.
Open generators
Suitable for technical rooms or protected spaces with ventilation, exhaust gas evacuation, maintenance access and the conditions required for installation.
Soundproof generators
They include a bodywork or canopy that protects the equipment and helps reduce noise level. They are a common solution for outdoor use, urban areas, shops, hotels and spaces close to people.
Common applications
- Construction sites and civil works.
- Agricultural and livestock holdings.
- Industry, factories and workshops.
- Hospitals and healthcare centres.
- Hotels, shops and residential buildings.
- Data centres and telecommunications.
- Events and outdoor activities.
- Isolated installations without grid connection.
- Backup systems for power cuts.
How to choose an electric generator
- Required power: calculate the total consumption and start-up peaks of the equipment.
- Type of service: main, auxiliary or emergency-only.
- Voltage: check whether the installation is single-phase or three-phase.
- Frequency: verify the frequency required by the connected equipment.
- Start-up peaks: motors, pumps and compressors may require more power at start-up.
- Noise level: consider a soundproof version when there are homes or work areas nearby.
- Autonomy: check tank capacity and expected consumption.
- Automatic start: check compatibility with an ATS or transfer panel.
- Installation environment: consider ventilation, temperature, humidity, dust and weather protection.
Avoid choosing power only by adding up consumption
Electric motors, pumps, compressors and certain machines may require much higher power during start-up.
To size the generator correctly, simultaneous loads, start-up peaks, power factor and intended type of use must be analysed.
Frequently asked questions about electric generators
What is the difference between Prime and Standby power?
Prime power is used for applications where the generator works as the main source under the load conditions established by the manufacturer. Standby power corresponds to emergency use during grid failures and is not intended for regular continuous operation.
How do I know how many kVA I need?
It is necessary to calculate the power of all equipment that will operate simultaneously and add the start-up peaks of motors, pumps, compressors and machinery. The power factor of the installation must also be considered.
What is an automatic transfer switch panel?
The ATS or automatic transfer switch panel detects main supply failure and sends the start command to the generator set. When the grid returns, it transfers the load again and stops the generator according to the established programming.
Do all generators include ATS?
No. Some models may include it, offer it as an option or only be compatible with an external panel. Check the equipment included in each product sheet.
Installation and maintenance
The installation must include ventilation, exhaust gas evacuation, electrical connection, grounding, maintenance access and safe fuel storage.
Oil, filters, coolant, battery, fuel and the general condition of the equipment must be checked periodically.
Emergency generator sets must undergo periodic starts and tests to confirm that they will be available when a grid failure occurs.
Do you need to calculate the generator power?
