The power output from onsite generators can cause power spikes that may damage electrical
components within the cabinet.
Although generators are fitted with power regulators, most are not filtered sufficiently for
powering sensitive electrical components. We recommend installing a commercial power
conditioner and/or UPS between the generator and the unit.
Start Up:
▪ Before starting a generator, make sure the power to the unit is turned off.
▪ Start the generator, let the generator reach stable operating speed and wait 30 seconds
before reconnecting the power to the unit.
For units where the generator starts and stops on demand, install a delay timer or PLC to
automatically isolate the unit until the operating speed and consistent power output is achieved.
Isolate the unit before shutting down the generator.
