Our single-phase generators may be a good option for specific applications:
- Your equipment runs on single-phase power: A single-phase generator can support standard outlets, lights and light-duty tools in commercial and industrial facilities when you are not running 3-phase machinery, such as heavy motors.
- You’re in a rural or remote area: In areas without an existing 3-phase utility connection, such as remote areas with only single-phase utility, a single-phase generator is a practical choice.
- You need straightforward power delivery: For a dedicated piece of equipment or a simple installation, a single-phase generator can make load control easier.
You should also consider your total load size. If it’s moderate or small and you don’t expect to scale, keep in mind that generators are most efficient at 75% to 80% of the maximum power requirement. As a general rule of thumb, bigger is not always better. Choosing significantly more generator capacity than you need can increase costs without adding value. An instance where this would be beneficial is if you are sizing up slightly higher in order to accommodate for growth and scaling.
However, if your generator will need to run at over 80% capacity during peak times or outages, you will be placing additional strain on the generator. In that case, your generator may offer less power than you need, and a different model would be best.
