4. Installation
4.1 External Installation
The generator should be installed in an area that is protected directly from harmful gases
liquids, dust, corrosive particles and vibration.
The weatherproof enclosure is designed to provide cooling and ventilation for the generator.
Several factors should be carefully considered when selecting a location for installation.
For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a hard,
flat, non-combustible, level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure
installation.
The installation area should be well ventilated.
Drainage must be adequate to ensure concrete pad is free from standing water.
Installation should prevent build-up of leaves, grass, sand, snow etc.
Serviceable access should be provided to allow the opening or removal of access
panels/doors for service and maintenance.
Keep the generator at least one metre away from buildings and other structures.
4.2 Internal Installation
① Room Size
If the generator is installed indoors, it must be protected from the environment while having
good ventilation and cooling. Some considerations for planning a room or enclosure are:
Never use the generator room for storage.
The room must be large enough to contain the generator and all the accessories.
1200mm must be allowed on the two sides and 1000mm in front of the engine for
service access. Allow clearance between hot parts of the system (exhaust) and
structural members of the building (see figure below).
On the generator end of the engine, allow a space equal to the length of the
generator.
The generator installation must comply with all of the current relevant standards and
local authority requirements.
