Engine
It is a basilar component, because it is the one that transforms the fuel into energy that feeds the alternator. Therefore, it has the ability to contribute to the improvement of the group's performance.
In its generators, TECGEN incorporates engines of different brands - including our own -, adapting to the needs of our clients and to the requirements of the projects we execute.
Alternator
This component is responsible for generating the electric power. Coupled to the engine, it takes advantage of the energy it generates to produce electricity.
It is necessary to establish the purpose and conditions of the installation to be powered in order to conveniently select the alternator to be chosen for the generator.
TECGEN uses mostly alternators of its own brand and of the renowned Leroy and Stamford, ensuring quality and reliability. With a wide range of powers, these alternators are easily coupled with a great number of engines.
Control Panel
Considered the "brain" of the generator set, the control panel is the unit responsible for monitoring and protecting it. In the case of TECGEN's generators, it is found on the chassis in open versions, or in the canopy in soundproof versions.
Canopy
This component consists of a protection structure which can be made of steel, , and that protects the genset against adverse weather conditions, while also reducing the noise it emits to the outside.
Automatic Transfer Switch
This equipment makes the switch between the main source (usually the mains) and the secondary source (usually the set). Operating automatically, it is also used to connect generators that work in alternation. It is recommended to install the automatic transfer switch when the genset operates in standby.
Chassis
It is a steel frame with an anti-vibration system that supports the group and can be used to lift it via forklift.
