Single and Parallel Generator Operation

published by Robin Koffler on 21 March 2011

Standby generators, particularly diesel generators, have an extremely high MTBF (meantime between failure) and are very reliable if correctly operated. If not, however, problems can occur which may lessen their dependability.
