Top 2 things your facility needs for business continuity in 2022

One common thing facility managers tell the Can-Technologies team is they can’t afford any downtime. That’s why many of them rely on a diesel generator if there’s a power failure.

An advantage of diesel generators is their capability to handle larger power loads and run longer than other types of generators. They work in tandem with a motor starter.

A motor starter controls the use of electrical power in a generator. When a generator is turned on, it generates a powerful electric current. Though brief, this current, if not properly handled, can harm to your equipment.

When the generator is turned on, the motor starter will reduce and regulate the current generated, and will regulate and increase the current once the generator has stabilized, improving function and use while also providing protection against an electrical surge.

Understanding what a generator and starter are and how they impact your business is integral to choosing the proper types. Can-Technologies is here to help — contact us for more information.
