FAQs
What types of advanced-technology generators does Reliance offer?
Reliance supplies a full portfolio of standby, prime-power, and continuous-duty generators ranging from 10 kVA to 3 MVA. Technologies include high-speed diesel, low-emission natural-gas, bi-fuel (diesel + gas), permanent-magnet alternator (PMA) sets for variable-speed operation, and hybrid modules that combine battery storage with engine power for ultra-quiet, ultra-efficient performance.
How are Reliance’s advanced generators different from conventional models?
Our latest series employs electronic engine management, variable-speed drives, and digital AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to maintain ±0.25 % voltage and ±0.5 Hz frequency under dynamic loads. These features cut fuel consumption up to 20 %, lower NOx/PM emissions to Tier 4-Final levels, and extend major-overhaul intervals from 15,000 to 25,000 running hours compared with traditional fixed-speed sets.
Which fuel options are available, and how efficient are they?
Customers can choose ULSD (ultra-low-sulfur diesel), pipeline or LNG natural gas, LPG, or bi-fuel configurations. Diesel units achieve up to 42 % thermal efficiency; natural-gas engines reach 44 %; bi-fuel operation delivers about 40 % at 70 % less diesel consumption. All models support HVO (hydro-treated vegetable oil) for carbon-neutral operation when requested.
Can Reliance generators be integrated with renewable energy systems or smart grids?
Yes. Every controller is IEC 61850-ready and ships with Modbus TCP/IP, CANbus, and optional EtherNet/IP protocols. That allows seamless synchronisation with solar PV, wind turbines, battery-energy-storage systems, and utility grids. Adaptive load-sharing algorithms automatically prioritise renewable input, starting the engine only when extra power or frequency support is required.
What maintenance and service support does Reliance provide?
We offer 24/7 remote monitoring through the Reliance SmartGen cloud, quarterly predictive-maintenance reports, and onsite service in 72 countries. Standard service contracts cover oil analysis, firmware updates, emission after-treatment inspection, and a 5-year/5,000-hour comprehensive warranty, extendable to 10 years/20,000 hours with our Platinum plan.
How do I select the right generator size and configuration for my application?
Start by listing your critical and non-critical loads, peak kW/kVA demand, and any motor-starting currents. Our application engineers use proprietary sizing software that factors in altitude, ambient temperature, harmonics, and transient step loads to recommend the optimal engine rating, alternator class, and fuel option. Contact us with a single-line diagram or a load spreadsheet, and we’ll return a detailed proposal—including layout drawings, acoustic data, and total cost of ownership—within 48 hours.
