Prime Power
Generators rated for Prime Power are designed to run in places without utility power for extended periods with longer maintenance intervals. A Prime Power Generator can run 24/7/365.
Prime Power Generators
Prime Power Generators are heavy duty machines designed to provide electrical power 24/7 in places that don’t have access to utility power. Prime Power is a shortened phrase for Primary Power Source. Unlike standby generators which only run during a power outage, A Prime Generator can run all the time, or whenever the user needs power. Continuous Power Generator applications include off grid locations, disaster recovery efforts, first responder facilities,
Some Standby Generators also have a Prime Power rating. Most manufacturers give Prime Generators a Prime Power rating that is lower than the standby rating. Because the generator must work harder to provide power at the upper end of its rating, manufacturers lower the rating. Any generator that runs at its maximum power will have a shorter life than a generator running at 75 percent its maximum load.
Prime Generator Fuels
Diesel engines have a reputation for rugged longevity and power. Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than lighter fuels like gasoline, propane, or natural gas. Diesel fuel is an oil which helps add lubrication while the engine runs. The engines are simpler and don’t require spark plugs or traditional ignition systems. Between power and ruggedness, the diesel prime generator has a loyal following.
However, diesel fuel is expensive and storage on site is a concern. The larger the generator, and the greater the load, the more fuel it uses.
Prime Generators with Gaseous Engines that run on Propane or Natural Gas also have a strong following. Natural Gas is an excellent fuel for a Prime Power Generator because it is abundant and much lower in cost than diesel fuel. Where a diesel prime generator may require refueling every day, or every few days, the prime power natural gas generator can run on a limitless supply of fuel through an entire maintenance cycle.
