When you hear about a clip-on Genset or an underslung Genset, you might be dazed and confused. There is so much stuff in this world that sounds so odd when said out loud, and for which you (and most other people) have no point of reference. A Genset is definitely one of those objects, but if you know more about it, you may find that you could really use one. 

A Genset Is a Generator of Sorts

That sort of makes sense. A Genset is a sort of generator. It is also part of a "set" of components; hence gen-set, or Genset. It is typically attached to a semi-tractor or other commercial truck to help generate additional power where it is most needed. It can make the trucks stronger, more powerful, and more capable of hauling more than it normally could. It takes heat energy, converts it to mechanical energy, which is then converted to electrical energy. 

A Genset also works very well inside an industrial plant. Here, it takes all of the heat from the factory and converts that heat to more power to keep factory machines running. This is especially useful if the factory is too far away from city electrical hook-ups.

The Power a Genset Can Provide

Gensets have been known to power up military encampments in the middle of deserts and other isolated regions. It can provide power to cool air in places where installing an air conditioner just would not be feasible. Sometimes, a Genset has been known to provide a lot of electricity to small African villages. In fact, there are multiple applications for a Genset, each with its own unique purpose. When you have multiple Gensets hooked up and running in the same location, you can easily have backup Gensets for primary and secondary Genset failure, if that happens.

Automatic Power Switches Included

Automatic power switches are key in turning power on and off as it flows from the Genset. When you use a Genset as a backup power source, it is vital that the generator turns off when the mainstream or flow of electricity is working and turn on when all other electricity fails. Rather than having to do that manually, all Ggensets are equipped with automatic power switches. The added benefit is that these switches prevent power surges that could otherwise bring down your entire power grid at a time when you need power the most.
