Why buy your generator from Gx Diesel Power?

ONE

Assurance

Because we can offer you a full TURNKEY solution to your power requirements with an after sales team that will take care of your generator, giving you peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to worry about a thing.

TWO

Precision

Before deciding on the size of the generator, we recommend that we install our load recorder to your power supply to determine your usage so as to ensure you buy the correct size unit for your office park / business premises.

THREE

Integrity

When comparing quotes, always ensure you compare apples with apples, the market is flooded with knock offs that although they may save you money in the short term they will land up costing you in the long term. Gx Diesel Power only supplies quality products where spare parts are readily available when necessary.

FOUR

Guarantee

Most of our units come with 1000 hours / 12 months warranty whichever occurs first.

FIVE

Optimize

Site surveys go hand in hand with sizing your unit, it is important that together, we determine the best cable run possible for your generator so that you don’t waste unnecessary money on cable. Let us help you save money by offering the best solution for your site.

Generator Installations & Commissioning

Gx Diesel Power is geared for the installation and ongoing maintenance of all generators with dedicated qualified technicians throughout South Africa. It is our promise to offer our clients quality assurance, guaranteed workmanship, and support

No job is too big or small for us, with units being installed on the 25th floor of a building via an extra long reach crane truck, down 5 floors to the basement or a simple drop onto a plinth, we can handle it all.

When installing a unit in the basement of a building we can offer you catalytic converters so that you comply with the Health & Safety regulations required to ensure your staff and customers safety at all times.

Power factor calculations

We are able to measure: voltages, currents, active powers, inductive and capacitive reactive powers, apparent powers, inductive and capacitive power factors, analogue or impulse parameters.

All these parameters are analyzed in a digital way:

for each phase (voltage and current)

6 x 128 samples are acquired on a module of 16 x20ms, repeated for the three phases.

Power factor calculations

According to the standards in force, the medium power factor can’t be calculated as average of the instantaneous power factors. It must be obtained from the medium values of active and reactive power. Each single medium power factor (of phase or total) is therefore calculated, at the end of each integration period, on the medium value of the corresponding powers independently on the fact that they must be registered or not. Besides, for a better analysis of the type of load present on the line and in order to have terms of comparison when studying the invoicing of the low cost, the values of inductive and capacitive cost are treated as independent parameters.

So in short, let us connect our load recorder to your power supply so it can best determine what your usage is for us to supply you with the correct size generator that will be able to handle your load.

Integration periods

The storage of all the data would require a huge memory capacity. Therefore we’ve tried to find out a storage method which permits to compress the information to be memorized, though providing significant data. The chosen method is the integration one: after a certain period called “integration period”, which can be set from 5 seconds to 60 minutes (3600sec), the instrument extracts from the sampled values the following values:

Minimum value of the parameter during the integration period (harmonics excluded)
Medium value of the parameter (intended as arithmetic average of all the values registered during the integration period)
Maximum value of the parameter during the integration period (harmonics excluded) Only this information (repeated for each parameter to be memorized) are saved in the memory along with starting time and date of the integration period. Once these data are memorized, the instrument restarts to take measurements for a new period.

Generator Controllers

We specialise in the installation and programming of a variety of Deep Sea Controllers due to their reliability, efficiency and their user friendly functionalities. We can however assist you with other makes of controllers for example: Lovato, SmartGen, ComAp and Datakom. We can assist you with the the following:

Programming of controllers.
Installation of controllers.
Upgrading controllers.
Software upgrades on controllers.
Troubleshooting of controllers.
