General installation criteria
Installation of a genset has to be planned by qualified and
trained technicians, it has to be carried out by a competent
organization with qualified personnel and proper equipment.
Before proceeding with installation the following conditions
have to be checked:
•
Genset has been selected according to needs of
the electrical load and to environmental conditions
(temperature, altitude and humidity);
•
Genset location is of appropriate dimensions and allows
accessibility to genset for maintenance and/or necessary
repairs;
•
If genset is indoors, ensure there is enough air for engine
combustion, for genset cooling (radiator and generator),
and sufficient ventilation;
•
If genset is indoors, a system of expulsion for engine
exhaust gas is provided;
•
Personnel safety has been carefully considered;
•
Noise-level issues have been carefully considered;
•
Fuel and lubricant stocking issues have been considered in
accordance to norms in force in the country of installation.
attention
Faulty installation can create damage to the genset and the
User system, and injury to persons.
It is compulsory to install the genset according to the norms
in force in the country of installation.
The installing company must provide a conformity declara-
tion stating that installation has been carried out duly and
according to plans and to norms in force.
attention
All generating sets are equipped with a control system that
is NOT influenced by standard environmental factors and
is able to stop the unit in case of anomalous values in the
fundamental parameters.
In order to avoid unexpected black-outs or other potentially
dangerous situations, the below installation indications must
be followed.
inForMation
Italian and European norms define specific characteristics
referring to the premises in which genset should be located,
indicating possible positioning, minimum dimensions, etc.
For any doubt referring to installation location contact our
technical sales office.

environMental conditions
attention
Open gensets (SKID) have to be located in an area pro-
tected from rain, snow, high humidity and direct exposure
to the sun.
Rain or high humidity on GE genset alternator, in particu-
lar during operation, cause an increase in voltage output,
winding faults, electric discharge towards ground, with da-
mage to the genset and injury to persons. Dust, in particular
saline dust, must be avoided. In case radiator or air filters
are obstructed, there is the risk that genset will overheat
or be damaged. Aspiration grills must not be obstructed by
leaves, snow, etc.

danGer
Genset must be positioned so that exhaust gas is diffused
without being inhaled by any living being.
Engine exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, which is
harmful to one’s health, and in big quantities can cause in-
toxication and death.
Local norms in force have to be respected.
