The workshop usually uses diesel workshop generator, mainly as backup power for the factory buildings, ensuring continuous electricity for production lines, precision equipment, and lighting in case of sudden power outages.
 
Ⅰ. Features of Workshop Generators
Workshop generators are mostly diesel-powered, run stably for long periods, and come with multiple safety protections. You can opt for silent and fully automatic versions. They're dustproof and durable, ensuring that workshop equipment keeps running even during a power outage.
 
Ⅱ. Huaquan Power is a professional workshop generator manufacturer
Shandong Huaquan Power Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as "Huaquan Power", stock code 171006) was established in 2010 and is located in Weifang, Shandong. The company's business spans several fields including power generation equipment, new energy storage equipment, high and low voltage complete sets of equipment, and power engineering.
Huaquan Power's products incorporate technologies such as intelligent monitoring, brushless excitation, low emissions, and noise reduction. In terms of manufacturing, the company is based on lean management, combining informatization and industrialization, and has introduced intelligent equipment like fully automatic painting lines, industrial welding robots, and AGV smart transportation platforms, giving it full-process production capabilities including cutting, forming, machining, welding, painting, and installation and commissioning.
Huaquan Power provides a service system covering pre-sales, sales, and after-sales. Their after-sales service network has a wide coverage and responds quickly, giving users peace of mind.
 
Ⅲ. Advantages of Workshop Generators
1. Workshop generators can start quickly during a power outage, keeping the production line running and reducing economic losses.
2. They run stably with smooth voltage and frequency, which helps protect precision production equipment.
3. Workshop generators support fully automatic ATS operation, providing uninterrupted power without the need for someone to be on-site.
4. You can choose quiet workshop generators to reduce noise and be environmentally friendly, meeting factory and surrounding noise reduction requirements.
5. Excellent protection performance, dustproof and moisture-proof, suitable for complex workshop conditions, easy to maintain with low failure rates.
 
 
Ⅳ. How to choose a workshop generator?
Determine the required power for the workshop generator:
1. Add up the rated total power of all equipment in the workshop that needs emergency power. Start by calculating the motor loads first, since motors have high starting currents, and reserve 1.2 to 1.5 times the power for safety.
2. Distinguish between frequently used workshop generators and backup ones: choose backup generators based on total load; if you need long continuous production, it's better to go with a regularly used generator.
Determine voltage and frequency:
For domestic industrial settings, it's standard to choose a three-phase 380V, 50Hz model, which can also cover 220V for lighting and control equipment.
 
Choose workshop generator models based on the factory environment:
1. Factory near residential areas: choose a silent workshop generator to reduce noise and meet environmental requirements.
2. Workshop with lots of dust and humidity: choose a high-protection enclosed workshop generator to prevent dust and moisture.
3. Limited installation space: you can choose a box-type integrated workshop generator, which takes up little space and has strong protection.
 
Select functions based on your needs:
1. For unattended continuous power: Add an ATS fully automatic dual power switching cabinet, which starts automatically when power goes out and stops automatically when power returns.
2. For large factories with fluctuating loads: You can choose parallel workshop generators, allowing multiple units to supply power together.
3. For remote, unattended factory sites: You can add a remote monitoring module to check the workshop generator's operating parameters in real time.
 
When considering usage duration and emission standards:
1. Need to run 24 hours continuously: go for industrial-grade, commonly used workshop generators that have good cooling and are durable.
2. Industrial parks have strict environmental controls: choose models that meet national emission standards to pass environmental inspections smoothly.
 
Ⅴ. Workshop Generator FAQ
1. What is the common voltage for workshop generators?
Three-phase 380V, compatible with 220V for lighting and small equipment.
2. How to choose the power of a workshop generator?
Calculate the total load and leave 1.2-1.5 times the power as a buffer to avoid motor startup overload.
3. Does a backup workshop generator need an ATS?
It's recommended to install one for automatic start during a power outage and automatic stop when mains power returns, allowing unmanned power supply.
4. Which workshop generator to choose for a factory near a residential area?
Choose a silent model to reduce noise and meet environmental noise reduction requirements.
5. Does a backup workshop generator need to run periodically if idle for a long time?
Yes, run it without load for 10 to 15 minutes weekly to prevent battery discharge and parts rust.
6. Can a workshop generator run continuously all day?
It can work for long hours if properly maintained—just change the oil and filters on schedule.
7. Why does the workshop generator trip frequently?
The total load exceeds the rated power of the unit, or due to a short circuit in the circuit or a fault in the protection device.
8. What should be noted when using a generator in a dusty and humid workshop?
Choose a highly protected box-type model, ensure grounding, and regularly clean the filter and dust on the unit.
 
Ⅵ. Applications of Workshop Generators
1. Workshop generators are used for emergency backup power during outages in various processing plants and production workshops.
2. Ensure uninterrupted operation of production lines in industrial parks and storage areas.
3. Provide stable power supply for critical equipment in food, pharmaceutical, and precision instrument workshops.
4. Serve as regular backup power for small and medium-sized factories in industries like hardware, textiles, and chemicals.
5. Supply continuous power for production in remote areas or industrial parks without stable municipal electricity.
