A Diesel Generator Set (DG Set) is a combination of a diesel engine and an electric generator used to generate electrical energy. The diesel engine converts fuel into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy by the generator. These sets are known for their reliability and efficiency, making them a popular choice for both standby and prime power applications.
