Is it OK to under load a caterpillar generator?
Caterpillar recommends not loading natural gas generator sets in any application below 50 percent of their rated load for any duration, and the ideal range for operation is at 70 percent load and above. Gas engines do not typically slobber, but there are other effects of low-load operations.
Which is more fuel efficient 10kW or 100kW generator?
For that reason, a 100kW generator will burn more fuel at 10kW than a 10kW generator set. Can I believe the manufacturer’s spec sheets when it comes to fuel consumption?

How often should you mend a caterpillar generator?
Caterpillar recommends a testing process for diesel and natural gas generator sets. For diesel generator sets, Caterpillar recom.mends loading the generator set to a minimum of 30 percent load for approximately 30 minutes for every four hours of light load operation.
What’s the average load of a diesel generator?
Generally speaking, standby- and prime-rated diesel generator sets are designed to operate between 50 and 85 percent of the full nameplate, while continuous-rated diesel generator sets are optimized between 70 and 100 percent load.
