SUMMARY Optimizing consumption - even a minimal gain - can lead to significant financial savings in production
applications. A generator's consumption is a determining factor for production applications, particularly in
areas where the current is not stable.

For installations not containing electric motors, we talk about "on-load capacity". Here, again, the components
selected by KOHLER-SDMO allow for 100% take-up of the load. Their generators reach on-load capacity
quickly, and with a minimal drop in voltage, while those from other manufacturers are liable to stall if a high
load is requested too suddenly.

for modular circuit breakers up to 125A, KOHLER-SDMO proposes B curve circuit breakers adapted to the generator's short circuit current,
which provide more accurate tripping in the event of a malfunction.
CIRCUIT BREAKER QUALITY
for a higher amperage, KOHLER-SDMO uses electronic circuit breakers which enable the thermal and magnetic current to be adjusted more
accurately. This adjustment means that it can be adapted to each type of generator, within the advertised rated voltage
Preheating the coolant warms up the engine block, allowing the following:
improved start-up capacity at low temperatures
immediate application of the load
reduction of smoke emissions at start-up
GENERATOR PREHEATING
Preheating using circulation, available as an option on certain outputs, enables continuous circulation of the coolant to provide uniform
heating.
the engine's service life is increased
the consumption of electricity for preheating purposes is significantly reduced
KOHLER-SDMO battery chargers are sized to be used with all battery voltages and currents available on the market. Endurance tests have
