Load Sizing & Sourcing

We Size the Generator Before You Buy

A generator should match the actual load, starting currents, backup priorities and site wiring. Keystone helps you avoid buying a generator that is too small, oversized, noisy, hard to maintain or unsuitable for your building.

Upgrading Old Generators With Modern Controllers

Many older generators still operate with analogue or relay-based controllers. While these systems are simple and durable, they lack modern functions such as:

  • Automatic Mains Failure (AMF)
  • Remote monitoring & alerts
  • Digital meter readings
  • Engine protection & fault logging
  • Safety shutdown features
  • Load management & sync

What the Upgrade Involves

  • Rewiring engine sensors (oil pressure, temperature, speed)
  • Connecting alternator voltage/CT feedback
  • Adding start/stop control circuits
  • Configuring AMF/ATS functionality
  • Setting up remote monitoring and alarms

The Result?

A generator that operates like new—with improved safety, better performance, and modern automation features. Give your old equipment a new lease of life with DSE, ComAp, SmartGen, or your preferred brand.
