WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING THE LOCATION OF MY GENERATOR?
Indoor features:
Adequate space should be left around the Generator, taking into account the layout and mounting designs, and subsequent serviceability.
The generator room must have a door large enough for the generator to pass through. The generator should be in a place where it can be easily reached and removed when necessary.
The ground on which the generator will be placed must be a flat ground that can bear the weight of the generator.
Since fresh air will be needed for generator cooling, fresh air inlets and outlets must be large enough to meet the generator air requirement. The hot air discharged from the radiator must be removed from the environment with the help of a suitable channel.
The generator room should be arranged in such a way that it is protected from precipitation and external influences such as extreme temperatures.
It must be protected against harmful airborne substances such as abrasive or conductive dust, thread, smoke, oil fumes, steam and engine exhaust fumes.
Unauthorized persons should be prevented from entering the generator area.
The grounding rod should be mounted at the closest point to the generator, measure the spreading resistance (max. 1kΩ), the contact voltage should not be higher than 25 Volts, 30 mA leakage current.
Precautions should be taken around the generator to prevent electric shocks and injuries.
Outdoor Features:
It should be protected against the impact of falling objects such as trees or poles and motor vehicles.
There should be enough space around the generator to allow for service and maintenance.
There should not be any obstacle around the generator to prevent the hot air coming out of the radiator.
Generator must be installed in Cabinet/Container.
Internal grounding condition should be checked.
Unauthorized persons should be prevented from entering the generator area.
The grounding rod should be mounted at the closest point to the generator, measure the spreading resistance (max. 1kΩ), the contact voltage should not be higher than 25 Volts, 30 mA leakage current.
Precautions should be taken around the generator to prevent electric shocks and injuries.
