The guides we point customers to most often — the decisions that get made before the equipment arrives.
How to size a generator set: prime vs standby and the steps that matter
Most generator set problems were decided the day the set was chosen. Load lists, kW vs kVA, prime vs standby ratings, motor starting and derating for tropical heat — the full sizing method we use, in the order we use it.
Silent vs open generator sets
The enclosure changes noise, weather protection, ventilation and service access. When each type wins — and the trade-offs to plan for before you buy.
Marine engine maintenance in Philippine waters
Warm seawater, salt air and humidity — a working checklist for fuel, cooling, corrosion, load and the spares that keep a season afloat.
Specification, installation, upkeep.
The blog follows the life of the equipment: choosing it, installing it, and keeping it running in Philippine conditions.
How to size, rate and configure engines, generator sets, gearboxes and cable schedules.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance notes from the applications we support.
What was specified, why, and how the equipment is running — see also Projects.
