When the power grid is cut off, the power transfer switch on the diesel generator set will trip immediately, the diesel generator can be started instantly in the event of a power failure, and any equipment connected to the diesel generator set will wait until the power supply with little or no interruption. Moreover, when the grid power is restored, the generator will automatically switch back to the main grid and wait for the next use, and in this process, there is no need to manually start the generator to supply power to the equipment.
As long as the fuel in the fuel tank is sufficient, the diesel generator can be started at any time to provide a stable power supply, which is very helpful for enterprises that need electricity during a power outage.
