Industrial Standby Generator Installation
This generator set requires a crane to move. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always use the lifting equipment that has proper capacity. Be sure to have assistance when needed to align generator set.
It’s a common practice to unload and set the generator in the same day to save on crane costs. When setting the generator set the following factors should be considered:
• A lifting device that will allow the generator set to be safely lifted and placed at level on the concrete pad.
• A crane with capability of placing generator set on the concrete pad.
Possible sequence for setting generator set is:
Setting Auxiliary Fuel Tank
- Connect generator set to lifting device and crane.
- Move and align generator set with concrete mounting studs.
- Install attaching hardware (washer, lock washer, nut).
- Fuel generator tanks.
- Connect generator output to Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
Maintenance personnel will connect gantry to generator set onto pad.
Portable Enclosed Generator
The customer is a construction company with a contract for a major addition to a hospital. In the initial stages of construction, one portable Baldor 2,000 kW generator set will be required. As the construction reaches the final stages a second unit will be needed to support all required services until utilities are connected. The following steps were reviewed:
• Inspecting Generator After Transport – Locating and pre-start/pre-load suggestions.
• Electrical Connection – Single and dual generator setups.
