What kind of generator for a construction site?
2018-12-06
The execution of construction contracts, is an activity fraught with a number of risks. While in the past, the main criterion was the soundness of the work performed, nowadays, it is important to meet deadlines. Paragraphs on penalties for failure to meet the contract by the deadline often determine whether the implementation of a given task can earn money. How do you protect yourself from delays, especially those caused by so-called force majeure? Below we will try to describe the perfect aggregate for construction.
Independence and convenience during construction work
The right generator on the construction site provides us with full independence from other sources of electricity. So it is important to get to any place, even hard to reach, with a genset. On construction sites we often have sandy and uneven ground. In order to move a device weighing about 150 kg even for one person, it is worth getting a genset with large and wide wheels.
In situations where we work at a considerable distance from the aggregate, a remote control of the aggregate will also prove useful. When we are carrying out paving work, the paving unit should have a distance that protects it from the dust created when cutting. Having a remote control in our pocket, we turn on the remote genset only when we cut concrete elements, simply saves a lot of time. We recommend our diesel generators!
Cheap and easy to use power source
In addition to independence, using our own generator, we can also save a lot of money. A modern genset with a maximum power of 8.5 kW with a diesel engine, consumes only, 1.2 liters of fuel per hour. The same power of a gasoline genset, will consume about 4 liters of gasoline per hour. This means that with the price of fuel at 5.3 zlotys per liter, the daily cost of electricity on site, will be about 50 zlotys when using, diesel. If gasoline is used, the cost will be about 170 zloty. Using diesel aggregates gives a daily saving of about 120 PLN, and with 22 days of work month, even 2640 PLN savings.
Portable genset, is also the convenience of maintenance. Like any device with an internal combustion engine, it requires a few typical maintenance tasks. The indicator system will inform itself about the need to add oil and change filters. Thanks to the tubular frame, with no built-in walls, access to all components of the genset is so free that periodic inspection is extremely easy. This is a great emergency power supply!
Safety of equipment and flexibility of use
Sometimes users consider purchasing a larger genset, due to the requirements of some single-phase powered equipment. Proton gensets have a Dual function, which provides as much as 80% of the genset's rated power on a single-phase socket. Imagine we need to drill a hole in a thick reinforced concrete ceiling. We rent a drill rig with 4kW of single-phase power. At the construction site, a genset with a power rating of 7.6kW provides us with electricity. If it didn't have the Dual function, there would only be 2.5kW waiting for the rig on the single-phase socket. Fortunately, the Dual function provides us with as much as 6kW and we can get to work with confidence.
If you're concerned about the timeliness of construction contracts and want to reduce your sources of stress, consider equipping your company with a portable generator set tailored to your needs. The ability to start electrically as well as manually, will make use simple. The built-in hour meter will help you control fuel consumption and detect possible theft.
Now you know how to choose a generator for construction!
If a generator set, then only with AVR
As a manufacturer and distributor of generators, we offer devices equipped
only with high-end voltage regulators. We know how important for you is
the safety of consumers powered by the generator. AVR guarantees stable
operation of electronic devices and their protection from damage. Failure
of a heat pump, computer or other equipment is not only a considerable
cost, but also a risk of data loss. That's why every Proton generator has
a suitable AVR voltage regulator.
If you want to learn more about the safety of powering your home, farm or
business with a generator, contact our advisor. We are on call for you 24
hours a day, every working day.
