    DIESEL MOTORS STARTING SYSTEMS

    I need buy a 850 HP water pump drived by diesel motor, my client prefer electric DC motors to starts the motor, but my experience indicates, in this case, pneumatic starting is more usual, safety, economical and realiable. I don't find suggestions about it, on ANSI ou IEC etc. What is better?
