Industrial Generators From SDMO featuring John Deere, Mitsubishi and Volvo

ENGINE
Engine block. For long life and quiet operation we recommend four cycle, liquid cooled, industrial duty diesel engines.

Air or liquid cooling. Air-cooled engines require a tremendous amount of air and may require ducting. They're noisy too. Liquid cooling offers quieter operation and more even temperature control.

Major brand of engine – We do not recommend you purchase a Chinese built unit or off brand engine, you will not be able to obtain the necessary follow-on parts and service support available with our machines!

Safety shutdown system to protect the engine in case of oil pressure loss, overspeed or overcrank and high water temperature

SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLS
Switchgear can be as simple or complex as you want or can afford. Of course, as complexity increases, so does cost. Balance and a good electrical advisor are the keys here. The diagrams at right illustrate basic configurations for prime power and stand-by systems. All systems require a circuit breaker and a distribution panel. The circuit breaker protects the generator set from short circuit and unbalanced electrical loads. The distribution panel divides and routes the connected loads and includes circuit breakers to protect these loads. Stand-by systems also require a main circuit breaker between the utility source and the transfer panel. The transfer panel switches power from the utility to the gen-set and back so that both aren't on at the same time. Auto-start, auto-transfer systems are available but are costly. Your supplier or contractor can help you determine what you will need.
