Collection: Industrial Diesel Generators for Sale

Diesel Generators for Industrial and Commercial Applications

An industrial diesel generator converts mechanical energy from a diesel engine into electrical power through an alternator.

Diesel generators can support manufacturing equipment, commercial buildings, construction operations, industrial facilities, and other applications requiring an independent electrical power source.

A commercial diesel generator may provide backup power during utility outages or serve other applications when appropriately rated and configured.

Prime Power Diesel Generators

A prime power diesel generator is designed to supply electricity as a primary power source within its specified operating limits.

These generators may be considered for remote industrial operations, construction projects, and facilities requiring power where utility electricity is unavailable or insufficient.

Standby Diesel Generators

A standby diesel generator provides backup electricity when the normal utility supply fails.

Standby generator capacity should be matched to essential electrical loads, starting requirements, and the equipment that must operate during an outage.

Diesel Generators for Construction Sites

A diesel generator for construction site applications can power compatible tools, equipment, lighting, and temporary electrical installations.

Generator selection should account for simultaneous equipment demand, starting loads, site conditions, and required operating duration.

Choosing the Right Industrial Diesel Generator

Before selecting a diesel generator for sale, evaluate:

●        Required power capacity in kW

●        Running and starting electrical loads

●        Standby or prime-power rating

●        Voltage and phase requirements

●        Engine configuration

●        Fuel capacity and expected runtime

●        Installation environment

●        Noise and emissions requirements

●        Maintenance requirements

●        Future electrical demand

Generator size should not be determined by kW alone. Starting loads, operating conditions, and the intended duty rating are essential considerations.

Diesel Generator Engines and Configurations

MasterAire offers generator configurations featuring Perkins, Volvo, and Isuzu engines. Available options vary by power capacity, electrical configuration, and intended application.

Review the individual generator specifications to confirm compatibility with the facility’s electrical system and intended operating duty.

MasterAire generators are backed by a 1-year/1,000-hour warranty with free parts and service guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Diesel Generators

What is an industrial diesel generator?

An industrial diesel generator uses a diesel engine to drive an alternator and produce electricity. It can supply power for manufacturing facilities, construction sites, commercial operations, and other industrial applications when properly sized and configured.

Which voltage and phase configurations are available for MasterAire diesel generators?

Available configurations may include 120/240V single-phase and 208/120V, 480/277V or 600/347V three-phase power. Confirm availability on the individual model page.

How do I choose the right diesel generator size?

Calculate the electrical loads that must operate simultaneously, including starting and running requirements. Then evaluate generator kW capacity, voltage, phase, duty rating, fuel requirements, installation conditions, and future demand.

Are diesel generators suitable for construction sites?

Yes. Diesel generators can supply electricity for construction equipment, lighting, tools, and temporary site operations. The selected generator must meet the site's electrical load, operating duration, environmental conditions, and applicable emissions requirements.

What should I consider before buying a diesel generator?

Consider required power capacity, engine configuration, fuel consumption, expected runtime, voltage, phase, standby or prime-power rating, maintenance requirements, installation conditions, and applicable regulations. Compare these requirements with the specifications of individual generator models.
