Built Around Industrial Requirements

Industrial power demand is rarely constant. A factory may have heavy motors starting simultaneously, sensitive automation equipment, large lighting loads and continuously operating machinery.

For this reason, Industrial DG Set selection should consider:

• Maximum running load
• Motor starting requirements
• Load diversity
• Power factor
• Required backup duration
• Standby or prime operation
• Future capacity requirements
• Environmental conditions
• Operating hours
• Installation arrangement

This application-based approach helps avoid selecting a generator that is either unnecessarily oversized or unable to handle the actual load.

Industrial DG Set Categories

Type	Typical Requirement
Standard Industrial DG Set	Factory and plant backup
Heavy-Duty DG Set	High-load industrial operations
Prime Power DG Set	Locations requiring extended generator operation
Standby DG Set	Emergency backup during grid failure
Containerised DG Set	Large outdoor and infrastructure applications
Silent / Acoustic DG Set	Sites with stricter noise requirements
Automated DG Set	Facilities requiring automatic mains-failure operation

Availability of specific configurations depends on capacity, manufacturer and project specification.

Capacity Range for Industrial Applications

Industrial generators are available across a wide range of capacities. Depending on the project, commonly requested ratings may include:

125 kVA | 160 kVA | 200 kVA | 250 kVA | 320 kVA | 380 kVA | 400 kVA | 500 kVA | 625 kVA | 750 kVA | 800 kVA | 1000 kVA | 1250 kVA | 1500 kVA and above

For larger facilities, multiple DG Sets can also be considered as part of a properly engineered power-generation arrangement.

Important: The appropriate capacity should be determined through load calculations and generator sizing rather than selecting a unit solely from the connected-load figure.

What Goes Into a Proper Industrial DG Set?

An industrial generator is an integrated power-generation system. Depending on the configuration, it can include:

• Diesel Engine

The engine provides the mechanical power needed to drive the alternator.

• Alternator

The alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy for the connected load.

• Generator Controller

The controller monitors operating parameters and provides control, warning and shutdown functions.

• Cooling Arrangement

Industrial units may use liquid-cooled systems designed for the thermal demands associated with higher-capacity operation.

• Fuel System

Fuel storage and supply arrangements are selected according to operating requirements and installation conditions.

• Exhaust System

The exhaust system safely manages combustion gases and should be designed according to the installation environment.

• Acoustic Enclosure

Where noise management is required, an appropriate enclosure can be incorporated into the generator configuration.

• AMF / Automatic Control

Automatic mains-failure arrangements can start the generator when the utility supply fails and transfer the designated load through a suitable electrical system.

Where Industrial DG Sets Make a Difference

• Manufacturing Plants

Support for production machinery, compressors, pumps, conveyors, control systems and essential plant services.

• Process Industries

Useful for facilities where an unexpected interruption can affect an ongoing production process.

• Engineering & Fabrication Units

Can provide backup for welding equipment, CNC machinery, cranes, compressors and workshop loads.

• Steel & Metal Industries

Suitable for facilities with substantial motor-driven and auxiliary electrical requirements.

• Food & Cold-Storage Facilities

Backup power can help maintain refrigeration, processing and essential monitoring systems.

• Infrastructure Projects

Useful where temporary grid arrangements are inadequate or where independent generation is required.

• Large Commercial Facilities

Can support elevators, HVAC, lighting, fire systems and other designated emergency loads.

Why Sohum Industrial Sales Corporation?

• We Look Beyond the kVA Number

A generator rated at a particular capacity does not automatically suit every industrial application. Sohum Industrial Sales Corporation takes the operating environment and electrical requirement into consideration when discussing DG Set solutions.

• Industrial-Focused Product Selection

Our approach is suited to customers who need generators for factories, plants, infrastructure projects and other demanding applications.

• Support for High-Capacity Requirements

We can assist customers looking for medium- to high-capacity Industrial DG Sets and project-specific configurations.

• Practical Load-Based Guidance

Customers can share their connected load, running load, motor load, operating hours and required backup conditions so that the requirement can be assessed more appropriately.

• Project & Bulk Procurement

We support EPC contractors, industrial buyers, electrical contractors and project procurement teams handling single-unit and multiple-unit requirements.

• Competitive Commercial Approach

We focus on balancing technical suitability with commercial value rather than recommending an unnecessarily expensive configuration.

• Regional Supply Strength

Our service network covers West Bengal, Kolkata, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Bhutan.

Industrial DG Set Selection Checklist

Before requesting a quotation, industrial buyers should ideally prepare:

• Required generator capacity
• Total connected load
• Maximum demand
• Major motor loads
• Motor starting method
• Required backup load
• Standby or prime requirement
• Expected operating hours
• Indoor or outdoor installation
• Acoustic requirement
• AMF requirement
• Number of DG Sets required

Providing these details can make the quotation process more accurate and reduce unnecessary specification changes later.

Fuel Efficiency & Operating Cost

The purchase price is only one part of the total cost of owning an Industrial DG Set.

Long-term operating economics can be influenced by:

• Fuel consumption at different load levels
• Number of operating hours
• Maintenance frequency
• Lubricant and filter costs
• Load factor
• Generator sizing
• Preventive maintenance
• Availability of service support
• Expected operating life

An appropriately sized generator can therefore provide better overall value than simply choosing the lowest-priced unit.

Maintenance Matters

Industrial generators often represent critical backup infrastructure. Regular preventive maintenance should include:

• Engine oil and filter checks
• Coolant inspection
• Fuel-system maintenance
• Battery and charging-system checks
• Air-filter inspection
• Alternator testing
• Electrical terminal inspection
• Controller diagnostics
• Exhaust-system inspection
• Periodic load-bank or suitable load testing

Maintenance intervals should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and the actual duty cycle of the generator.
