Diesel generators for farms and agriculture in Quebec
Every piece of farm equipment has a role. Plan backup power around the systems you need to maintain during an outage.
Discuss my project
Which farm systems need to keep running?
Pumping and water supply
Record pump specifications and when they start together. Their starting demand belongs in the sizing assessment.
Refrigeration and production
Separate cold storage, dairy equipment and other circuits to be restored. Specify acceptable interruptions for your operation.
A configuration matched to your farm’s operating cycles
Required capacity depends on equipment operating together, not just farm size. Milking periods, intensive ventilation and pumping may create different load scenarios. Gather nameplates and identify planned expansions.
Information to prepare
- Priority equipment and simultaneous starts
- Installation voltage and phases, if known
- Backup use or regular off-grid power
- Proposed location and refuelling access
Questions about your project
Can one generator power the whole farm?
That depends on loads, starting demand and the electrical configuration. An assessment may instead focus on priority circuits.
Can it start automatically while I am away?
A compatible system with an automatic transfer switch can support this. The quotation must specify the switch, connections and settings.
