4 FAQs about Containerized generator parallel operation

Why do generators run in parallel?

Generators running in parallel are about flexibility, electrical resilience and smarter load management. Whether backing up critical systems or scaling power on demand, paralleling gives you options that a single unit can't.

How do paralleled generator sets work?

tion of paralleled generator sets without intentional voltage droop. This is achieved by insertion of a droop curre t transformer (Qty1 CT), usually on “B” phase of each generator. These individual generator set CT's are then interconn cted to provide an identical voltage bias to each AVR in the system.The system works best wh

Does a backup generator need a paralleling system?

Reliability: In case one of your backup generators malfunctions for any reason, a paralleling system means other units will still be available to kick in, providing essential power. Generator paralleling is much more fail proof than a stand alone emergency generator.

Why do you need a parallel generator system?

Flexibility: A system of paralleling generators allows for easy alterations if needed. For example, if your facility takes on additional tasks that require backup power, the addition of another small unit to your system is much easier and less expensive than replacing a whole generator.
