Single Phase Generator VS Three Phase Generator, Which Is Better

Application of Generator:

Single phase generator - Normally for residential use

Three phase generator - For industrial use

Single-phase generator produces one single voltage that alternates continuously. Because the power is generated in one single wave, the level varies throughout its cycle. These varying waves cause the power level to drop throughout the process, however, these drops generally go undetected to the eye and ear in normal, residential and smaller operations. Most single phase portable generator operate anywhere from 120 to 240 volts.

Three-phase generator is driven by the prime mover to drive the DC-excited generator rotor to rotate at a rotating speed. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the three-phase stator winding induces an alternating current potential. If the stator winding is connected to an electrical load, the motor has an AC power output.

The three-phase generator is widely used in driving mechanical equipment that does not require speed regulation and high power because it has good characteristics of maintaining constant speed when the power supply voltage fluctuates or the load torque changes. In general, three phase generator is more powerful.

1. Fuel consumption rate. Different brands of diesel generator, its oil consumption rate is different, so its fuel consumption is different;

2. Amount of electricity load. If the load is big, fuel consumption will be high, conversely, the load is small, fuel consumption is low relatively.

Fuel saving methods:

1. Improving the temperature and quality of cooling water: low temperature will prevent diesel oil from burning thoroughly, increases oil viscosity, increases operating resistance and consume more oil. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the cooling water temperature of diesel engine;

2. Choose the appropriate fuel supply front angle: when the diesel engine is in use for a period of time, due to wear and tear, the early fuel supply angle will be reduced, then fuel supply time is delay and fuel consumption will increase greatly. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the fuel supply angle is at an appropriate angle;

3. Make sure that the equipment does not leak oil as far as possible: the oil pipeline of diesel engine often has cracks due to uneven joints, deformation or damage of gaskets. At this time, before use, the gaskets should be coated with valve paint and polished on the glass plate, check the oil pipeline joints;

4. When purchasing diesel generator, regular manufacturers should be selected to ensure product quality. All series of generator sets produced by Starlight Power Company meet the requirements of national energy saving and environmental protection. Welcome to purchase them;

5. Choose diesel oil that meets national standards, filter impurities in diesel oil, clean and replace filters in time. Impurities in diesel oil will affect the work of plunger and injector, resulting in uneven fuel supply, poor fuel atomization and other phenomena, which will increase the fuel consumption of diesel generator set;

6. Avoid overloading and allow diesel to burn adequately. Overload will cause insufficient combustion of fuel, resulting in black smoke. Regular smoking will increase consumption and shorten the service life of the equipment;

7. Regularly make a maintenance, do not let the generator work with fault;

8. Remove polymer adhering to valve, valve seat and injector in time. These coke deposits will increase fuel consumption and should be removed in time.
