5. Common FAQ

5.1 What is the usage difference between prime power and standby power of QSX15-G8 generator set?

The 400kW/500kVA prime power refers to the continuous rated power of the unit, supporting 24-hour long-term uninterrupted power generation and allowing short-term 10% overload operation. It is mainly used for off-grid main power supply, engineering long-term construction power and industrial continuous production power scenarios. The 440kW/550kVA standby power is emergency peak power, only applicable to short-time power supply when the municipal grid fails. Long-term continuous operation at standby power is prohibited, which will cause excessive engine load, accelerated wear of internal parts, increased fuel consumption and shortened service life of the Cummins diesel generator set. Users need to select the corresponding power mode according to actual working conditions.
