A generator set is the assembly of:<\/p>\n
\n- a thermal engine (gasoline or diesel)<\/li>\n
- an alternator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It will thus provide an electric power, necessary to supply an equipment or an electrical installation.<\/p>\n
How does a generator set work?<\/h3>\n
A generator set must operate at nominal power<\/strong> .
\nIf not, risk of damage<\/strong> appears. The thermal engine is damaged and causes premature wear of certain components.
\nWhen the grid fed by the generator consumes less energy than the minimum threshold<\/strong> proper operation of the generator, a so-called \u201cfictitious\u201d load is engaged<\/strong> . It thus makes it possible to consume the necessary energy and reach the nominal threshold.
