How to Buy Generator?

The following points should be taken into consideration while purchasing a generator;

1. When buying a generator, companies that are expert in their fields and who are strong in terms of references and service should be preferred.

2. In the selection of generator firm, manufacturers with generator test laboratory should be preferred. Testing the purchased generator with empty load after manufacturing does not indicate that the generator is without problems. When generators are operated at full load, their efficiency can be determined correctly.

3. Before purchasing a generator, power discovery must be done by a team of experts. The most common mistake is to determine the power according to the labels on the devices in the place where the generator will be used. Thus, inrush (development) currents are ignored and wrong generator selection is made.

4. Generators should be selected considering the environmental factors (environmental conditions, altitude, etc.) especially for generators to be purchased for professional purposes. Only companies that are experts in their fields can provide these services.

5. It is wrong to make only price comparisons between generators. It should not be forgotten that generators are mostly purchased with the expectation of meeting their urgent energy needs and working with performance for many years. Therefore, it will be more profitable in the long run to buy generators manufactured using quality materials and not to prefer cheap products.

6. Generators, engine, alternator brand and origin must be purchased with a specified sales contract.

7. Information on periodic maintenance should be requested when purchasing a generator.

8. Spare parts of the generator to be purchased (especially for the engine) should be easy to find.

9. For generators to be purchased with sound insulation cabinets or trailers, companies producing these parts should be preferred.
 Although sound insulation cabinets seem like a simple product, they require high technology and expertise in terms of air circulation, easy transportation, sound insulation quality, IP protection class, fuel tank compartment, paint production departments.

10. Certified generators such as TSE, CE, ISO should be preferred.
