Does the diesel generator work with all power or according to load?

Answer:

Diesel generator is just controlled on output speed by speed governor.once load increases, speed governor senses that and increases throttle. If load is in excess towards DGset max performance, then speed will drop and dg set will be cut off automatically.
according to load. It typically measured output voltage and adjusts throttle to reach an aim voltage. When output voltage drops due to load, it indirectly increases throttle.
A Diesel generator uses whatever fuel it requires to supply the load being used, plus the efficiency factor.This is controlled by the governor of the engine. If no load, it only uses that fuel required to keep it turning. (Not good for the engine). The rating of a generator is the max the engine can deliver at 100% performance. As the engine gets older, or even WORSE, not maintained. performance (output) drops.
