Aggregates

Generator also called power generator is a power device that generates electricity on its own. It consists of a synchronous generator, electric switchgear, internal combustion engine as well as control, measurement and auxiliary devices.

Power generators can be used in two ways:

• Aggregates in basic application – are one source of energy in a specific area. They generate electricity for needs such as light, motive power, heating, etc.
• Generators in auxiliary use – are an additional source of energy. They are used when the main power grid is interrupted or when the grid is overloaded.

Taking into account the application, the aggregates are divided into:

• Land, with a manual or automatic aggregate - they are divided into two types of fastening:
  – with fixed mounting – fixed installation
  – with movable mounting – movable installation
• Sea

The power generating devices include: engine, fuel tank, self-excited synchronous generator, metal frame with shock absorbers, exhaust silencer, accumulators with accessories, hot start of the generator (in the case of combustion, steam and thermal engines), cold start of the generator (in the case of electric and pneumatic motors).

Choosing the right size of the power generator in relation to the power of carpentry machines

When deciding to buy a power generator, you need to choose the right size - for small devices such as power tools, a smaller unit with less power, e.g. 1kW, is enough, while for larger machines, large units from a dozen to even several hundred kW are used. Remember to choose generators with a higher kW power than the machine has, e.g. A multisaw with 30kW may consume more power for the start-up itself, so the generator must have more power than 30kW.
