Generator Installation
SMCS Code: 1000; 4450
Receiving Inspection
If the generator is received during cold weather, allow
the unit to reach room temperature before you
remove the protective packing material. Warming the
generator to room temperature will prevent the
following problems:
• Water condensation on cold surfaces
• Early failures due to wet windings
• Early failures due to wet insulating materials
Unpacking
Moving the Generator
Improper lift rigging can allow unit to tumble
causing injury and damage.
NOTICE
Do not use the engine lifting eyes to remove the en-
gine and generator together.
Unpack the equipment with care in order to avoid
scratching painted surfaces. Move the unit to the
mounting location. Follow the instructions under the
“Product Lifting” topic. The hoist and the hoist cables
should have a rating that is greater than the weight of
the generator.
Location
The location of the generator must comply with all
local regulations. The location of the generator must
also comply with all special industrial regulations.
Locate the generator in an area that meets the
following requirements:
• Clean
• Dry
• Well ventilated
• Easily accessible for inspection and maintenance
Do not obstruct air inlet openings. Do not obstruct
discharge openings. Air flow must reach these
openings. If the generator is exposed to harsh
environmental conditions, the generator can be
modified in the field in order to add filters and space
heaters. In addition, a more rigid periodic
maintenance schedule should be established.
Note: For further information concerning the
installation of this generator set, see the appropriate
Application and Installation Guide.
Protective Devices
The output to the load of the generator should always
be protected with an overload protection device such
as a circuit breaker or fuses. Fuses should be sized
by using the lowest possible current rating. However,
this rating must be above the current rating for full
load. A common recommendation is 115 percent of
rated current. Determine the size of fuses or
determine the size of circuit breakers in accordance
with NEMA, IEC, and Local Electrical Codes.
Storage
If the generator is not installed immediately, refer to
the “Product Storage” topic for the proper
considerations for storing the unit.
