6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the actual usage difference between prime power and standby power of the 4ZT3.5-G21 50kVA diesel generator set?
Prime power (40kW/50kVA) refers to the rated continuous power that the genset can stably output for 24-hour long-term uninterrupted operation, which is designed for daily continuous off-grid power generation and regular medium-load operation. Standby power (44kW/55kVA) is emergency peak power, only used for short-time power compensation during sudden municipal power outages or instantaneous load surges, and cannot support long-term full-load continuous operation. For daily on-site use, it is recommended to control the operating load within 80% of the prime power to avoid long-term overload operation, which can effectively extend the service life and maintain stable performance of the SDEC 4ZT3.5-G21 generator set.
