How to install a generator appropriately

Proper installation of a generator is the key to its smooth functioning.

Equipments such as a generator must always be installed and repaired on time by an authorized service dealer who are certified technicians, having in depth knowledge of the procedure to be followed. But, even before that comes the installation of the generator. Make sure that the generator UAE bought by you and its various accessories are compliance with the industry standards as applicable. Here is a guideline:-

 

First of all, when you receive the generator from the generator supplier in UAE make sure that you thoroughly examine it to ensure that no damage has occurred in its transit. Then, see if the generator’s wattage capacity is good enough to manage the power of the outage of your household or office.

The unit where you aim to install the generator must be in the outdoors, but should have a protective enclosure so that there is sufficient air for ventilation and cooling. Never place the generator close to combustible substances and some inches above the floor level to avoid contacting from rising water levels.

 

Place the generator UAE in such a place that the transfer switch and the fuel supply are not far away. This will prevent having lengthy cabling and piping. However, if you need to run the generator for long hours you would need a large fuel tank for which you must seek permission from the respective state authorities.

 

The battery should be checked to be completely charged before you put them into the generator. The power voltage supplies have to be switched off from the main when installing the generator UAE.

 

To avoid any mishap like electric shock all the wires, terminals and cables should be well-insulated and covered at all times. Check that there are no fuel spills, leakages from the fuel supply lines and the diesel generator’s system as that can pose a risk of an explosion. If there is a huge outlet you intend to supply power to using the generator, you could even opt to group the critical loads together and wired in an independent distribution panel.

 

Most importantly, you should pick a generator only from a reputed brand such as Iveco Dubai as this would ensure no problem regarding its servicing and maintenance arise and the generator can combat power cuts even after years of its purchase.
