Section 3 - Installation

3.1 Mounting the Generator Set

Generator set installations must be engineered so the

generator set will function properly under the

expected load conditions. Use these instructions as a

general guide only. Follow the instructions of the con-

sulting engineer when locating or installing any com-

ponents. The complete installation must comply with

all local and state building codes, fire ordinances, and

other applicable regulations. Consider these require-

ments before installation:

• Level mounting surface

• Adequate cooling air

• Adequate fresh induction air

• Discharge of generator set air

• Non-combustible mounting surface

• Discharge of exhaust gases

• Electrical connections

• Accessibility for operation and servicing

• Noise levels

• Vibration isolation

3.1.1 Location

Generator set location is decided mainly by related

systems such as ventilation, wiring, fuel, and

exhaust. The set should be located as near as possi-

ble to the main power service entrance. Exhaust must

not be able to enter or accumulate around inhabited

areas.

Provide a location away from extreme ambient tem-

peratures and protect the generator set from adverse

weather conditions. An optional housing is available

for outside operation.

WARNING

Incorrect installation, service, or parts replace-

ment, can result in severe personal injury, death,

and/or equipment damage. Service personnel

must be trained and experienced to perform elec-

trical and mechanical component installation.

IMPORTANT: Depending on location and intended

use, federal, state, or local laws and regulation may

require the customer to obtain an air quality emis-

sions permit before beginning installation of the

genset. Be sure to consult local pollution control or air

quality authorities before completing construction

plans.

3.1.2 Mounting

Generator sets are mounted on a steel skid that pro-

vides proper support. The engine-generator assem-

bly is isolated from the skid frame by rubber mounts

that provide adequate vibration isolation for normal

installations. Where required by building codes or

special isolation needs, generator sets may be

mounted on rubber pads or mechanical spring isola-

tors. The use of unapproved isolators may result in

harmful resonances and may void the genset war-

ranty.

Mount the generator set on a substantial and level

base such as a concrete pad. A non-combustible

material must be used for the pad.

Use 16 mm or (5/8) inch anchored mounting bolts to

secure the generator set skid to the floor to prevent

movement.

3.1.3 Access To Set

Generally, at least 1 meter (3 ft) of clearance should

be provided on all sides of the generator set for main-

tenance and service access. (Increase clearance by

width of door if optional housing is used.) A raised

foundation or slab of 150 mm (6 in) or more above

floor level will make servicing easier.

Lighting should be adequate for operation, mainte-

nance and service operations and should be con-

nected on the load side of the transfer switch so that

it is available at all times.
