7.3 Installation
Set up the generator so it is protected from rain, snow or other forms of moisture.
The ground must be solid and level in order to prevent slipping or displacement.
Do not direct the engine exhaust to an area with people.
Both the work area as well as the components must be protected from all forms
of moisture.
7.4 Current depreciation
Generators run differently due to altitude and temperature differences.
Unmodified internal combustion engines have reduced performance at high
altitudes due to the lower air pressure. This means less performance and
therefore a reduced power exploitation. As soon as temperatures increase, an
engine runs less economically and electrical components have more resistance.
For every 500 meters above high altitudes of 1000 meters above sea level, the
performance of the generator is reduced by 3%. For outside temperatures above
40 degrees Celsius, the generator performance is reduced by 3% for every
additional 5 degrees. The tables shown help with the high altitude and outside
temperature performance devaluation. In order to determine the true generator
performance, it may be necessary to consider both the high altitude and
temperature devaluation factors.
