Generators generate electric energy through the conversion of mechanical energy using either diesel or gas as fuel. Depending on their capacity, generators can be used in industries, commercial buildings, or residential buildings. Generators ensure that end-users receive a continuous and uninterruptable electric power supply. Generators can be segmented into two major segments, namely, Portable Generators and Standby Generators, based on their portability. Portable generators are generators that can be easily moved from one place to another and wheels at the base of these generators facilitate easy portability. Moreover, these generators are usually used for residential and commercial applications and their power range does not exceed 15 kW.
