' [8 e2 _/ @) S' `; s) EContinuous and prime power generators are very similar as they act as the main source of power and are designed to operate continuously or for extended periods of time. The main difference between the two is that continuous power generator sets are designed to operate continually with a consistent load while prime generators are designed to operate for long durations at variable load.
