Mounting the Generator
The generator is mounted on a steel base tank that provides correct support. Vibration
isolators are recommended between the base tank and the foundation to provide stable
operation and avoid installation damage. Bolting the generator directly to the floor or
foundation can result in excessive noise and vibration, and possible damage to the
generator and floor foundation.
Mount the generator on a substantial and level base such
as a concrete pad. Use 20mm anchored mounting bolts
to secure the vibration isolators to the base tank using flat
or bevel washers and a hexagonal nut for each bolt. The
isolators should be located as shown on the generator
outline drawing.
4.3 Main Power with Automatic Mains Failure (optional)
During periods when the generator is not running, (standby mode) mains power must
provide power to critical components. Battery chargers, block heaters, space heaters and
any other devices that must have power to maintain the generator components to allow fast,
trouble free starting when a demand is needed.
4.4 Load Connections
4.4.1 Sizing Load Cables
Selecting the load cables, number of cores and diameter, based on its allowable amperage
and the distance between the generator and the load is critical.
Selection should be carefully calculated. It is recommended that there is a maximum 5%
marginal drop only for the rated voltage
be
tween the load and generator via the cables. It
should be considered while selecting the cable.
Danger
：
Overheating may cause damage to cables if the load exceeds allowable amperage.
If the cables are either too long or too short, there will be excessive voltage drop
between cables which brings voltage to loads. It may result in FIRE, PERSONAL
INJURY, reduced performance and damage to machinery.
