There are to prevailing viewpoints to describe motor starting capabilities of an Alternator. These two viewpoints will be discussed at length along with NEMA MG1 standard pertaining to these differing philosophies.

Created specifically for generator set applications, these new engines combine greater power with superior efficiency. Reaching up to 43.5 kW/liter, KOHLER G-Drive engines pair a compact form factor with unrivaled kW displacement—delivering the highest power density on the market.* (*Higher power density at more nodes than any competitor between 800 and 2500 kW.)

A properly designed Kohler DPS system means total and complete protection for your customer. Life safety is backed up and while one genset is being serviced, the DPS makes power available to the most critical loads. Kohler’s unique DPS system is easily adapted and scalable to fit your clients current and future needs.

Voltage and current harmonics produced by nonlinear loads increase power losses and, therefore, have a negative impact on electric utility distribution systems and components. While the exact relationship between harmonics and losses is very complex and difficult to generalize.
