For a variety of reasons, buying reconditioned diesel engines and using electric power generators is typically the most cost-effective option. One of the most important is that used generators with low enginehours are frequently available at very appealing prices, which are significantly lower than the high retail pricing of new units. Purchasing a low-hour secondhand generator instead of a new generator can save you up to 50% or more.

In India, the generator market is quite vast, providing a diverse range of different types of users. There are two types of generator users on the market: industrial generator users and home generator users.

The fuels utilized to provide primary power (mechanical energy) to generate electric power can be used to classify generators. Diesel, petrol, kerosene, propane, gas, and solar energy are among the various fuels used.

Generators can also be categorized according to their power generation capabilities. Based on KVA ratings, the classification includes the following:

5 KVA-75 KVA
75 KVA-375 KVA
375 KVA-750 KVA
750 KVA-1,000 KVA
1,000 KVA-2,000 KVA
Above 2,000 KVA

The 5 KVA-75 KVA range of generators has the biggest market share among the above, as this group of generators is suitable for a wide range of applications and is widely available across the country.

An automatic transfer switch, automatic voltage regulation, automatic safety shut down, cooling, and a wheel kit for portability are examples of add-on functions.

Advantages of Purchasing Used Power Generation Equipment
For nearly 40 years, Generator Source has aided customers by providing new and high-quality secondhand power production equipment (such as Automatic Transfer Switches, Transformers, and Industrial Generators). Buying secondhand has a number of advantages, one of which is rapid availability. In addition, used equipment nearly always has a lower buying price than new equipment. Another important factor to consider is all of the unique features that come included with each piece of equipment, such as advanced control panels, sound attenuated enclosures, fuel tanks, and battery chargers.These are a few examples of products that would be paid as add-ons if purchased new from a dealer.

Pricing of industrial generators
Industrial generators are beneficial to industries that rely heavily on energy. Typically, these generators are fixed generators. They have a power rating of more than 5kVA.

A 15KVA generator might cost somewhere between Rs 2.50 and Rs 3 lakh. This generator's usual specification comprises the following:

640 kg diesel-powered, 230/415 volt, water/coolant-cooled generator. It complies with CPCB-II emission standards. It complies with the MoEF/sound CPCB's emission guidelines.

Small industrial operations with two or three machines can benefit from 15 KVA generators. They can be used as backup generators if the grid goes down. They can also be employed as the primary source of energy in smaller manufacturing facilities.

A generator with a power rating of 100 to 200 KVA costs between Rs 5.4 lakh and Rs 10.7 lakh, depending on the specifications.

Diesel-powered
Available in single-phase and three-phase power generation
Soundproof
Weight 2000-2500 Kg
Manufactured by reputed brands complying with international standards

Construction, power, and medium-sized enterprises all benefit from these generators.

Larger power ratings (1000-2000 KVA) are available in industrial generators for upwards of Rs 1.5 crore. These generators can be utilized in a variety of industries, from small to very large.

Residential or home generators

The market for household generators is enormous in terms of units, and local firms and large manufacturers provide a variety of gensets across India. Based on the features offered, the price range is considerable. Generators that run on a variety of fuels are also available.

Prices range from Rs 32,000 for an 850 VA petrol generator to Rs 73,000 for a generator with a 3 KVA power rating.

The cost of a generator with a power rating of 4 to 6.5 KVA ranges from Rs 1,01,000 to Rs 1,83,000.

Low fuel consumption, portability, safety features such as oil level indicators and circuit breakers, and silent operation are all features of these small design generators. Analog voltmeter, digital hour meter, fuel level gauge, cooling fan indicator, and castor wheels are among the other safety features. These generators may also run on gas, and many of them have a self-start feature. These generators have a one-year warranty and meet international and Indian standards.
