At Canara Electrical Engineers, we have decades of experience in providing reliable generator sets for both prime and standby power, 24/7, 365 days a year. Our generator sets are built to the highest standards, undergoing rigorous testing to ensure reliability before they reach you.

Our partnership with Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. ensures that our products are backed by a robust network of dealers, offering localized service and spare parts support. This ensures that we can provide personalized service to meet your specific needs.

We offer generator sets for prime power, standby power, and rental power applications. Our range includes both diesel and gas-powered units, from 5 kVA (suitable for homes and small businesses) to 625 kVA (capable of powering large office buildings). Generators can be started manually or automatically and are available in both integral and cap-on configurations.

To determine the most suitable type for your needs, factors such as power requirements, installation location, and whether the generator is for continuous use or only during outages will influence the decision. Contact your local Canara Electrical Engineers dealer for personalized assistance.

The correct generator size depends on various factors unique to your premises. To ensure accurate sizing, our local dealer will assess the power ratings of all your equipment and appliances. Based on this assessment, they will recommend the best-suited generator set for your requirements.

Our generator sets come equipped with the following standard components:

• Engine
• Control Panel
• Base Frame and Fuel Tank
• Alternator
• Circuit Breakers
• Cooling System (Air or Water)

We also offer optional features that can be added to customize your generator set based on specific needs.

Several factors need to be considered when installing a generator set:

• Location: The generator should be placed in an area with sufficient access and lighting for service and maintenance. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, Canara Electrical Engineers offers Sound Attenuated Canopies for outdoor installations.
• Mounting: The generator should be mounted on a level surface with anti-vibration mounts. For installations on soil or rooftops, consult a civil engineer.
• Ventilation and Cooling: Proper ventilation is critical to keep the generator cool and remove fumes and heat from combustion.
• Fuel System: Consider how the generator will be refuelled. Options range from manual pumps to fully automatic systems.

Yes, generators can be wired into your home’s electrical system using a transfer switch. However, this must be done by a qualified electrician for safety reasons. It is unsafe to attempt this installation on your own.

The runtime of a generator on a full tank of fuel depends on the size of the tank, the generator’s usage, and the load it needs to handle. All Canara Electrical Engineers generator sets are designed to run for at least 8 hours at full load.

There is no specific limit. Our generators are designed to operate for extended periods, but regular inspections between uses are essential to ensure optimal performance. Before restarting, check fuel and oil levels and look for any signs of abnormalities.

While all generators produce some noise, Canara Electrical Engineers designs its generators to meet strict noise level standards, and each set is tested to ensure compliance with CPCB norms.

Generators are connected to your premises via electrical cabling. When mains electricity is disrupted, a transfer switch signals the generator to start and supply power. When the mains supply is restored, the switch automatically reverts to mains power, stopping the generator.

We manufacture both open and canopied generator sets. If your generator is installed outdoors, we recommend a canopied set, which includes a proper air-cooling system. Building an enclosure can restrict air circulation, leading to overheating or drawing in dust or moisture, which can cause premature failure.

Yes, our generators are designed to function in harsh environments, including extreme weather conditions. However, for extended durability, protecting your generator from the elements, where possible, is advised.

Service frequency depends on factors like generator usage, environmental conditions, and load capacity. Regular visual inspections every 2-3 months are recommended, and a full service (including filter and oil changes) should be conducted annually. Weekly start-up checks are also advised to prevent common startup failures.
