Genset Installation Recommendations Our energy working for you.
About this manual Installation Recommendations Beneficial purpose Basic reference information Whatever the use of the on-site power is intended to be, reliability of service from the on-site equipment, performance, and cost effectiveness are primary concerns of the users.
Preliminary design Installation Recommendations Preliminary design Loading and Unloading Foundation A. Provision for lifting is provided on the acoustic enclosure. Unload damage free by lifting with proper lifting tackle / nylon sling / steel rope of suitable capacity. B. Spreader bar / spacer plate of suitable size may be required to avoid damages. C. Ensure lifting or hoisting equipment has appropriate tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck or tipping over. D.
Preliminary design Installation Recommendations Preliminary design Site location F. Enclosure should be located away from polluted atmosphere like acidic fumes, cement dust, stone dust cotton fibres, furnace chemicals etc. wherever possible. In case location is dusty or polluted, contact OEM/ Cummins. Heavy duty air cleaner is must for such installations. Heat exchanger cooled system is recommended for such installations as radiator gets clogged in dusty atmosphere. G.
Preliminary design Installation Recommendations Preliminary design Enclosure placement / Enclosure room I. Access and clearance i. Enough opening / shutters should be provided so that entry and placement of the enclosure is easily possible. ii. Generator sets will require access for service to both sides of the engine as well as the control/ alternator end of the machine. Local electrical codes may require specific working space for electrical equipment.
Preliminary design Installation Recommendations Preliminary design Normal precautions and safeties P. Physically separate the generator feeders from the normal wiring feeders to prevent possible simultaneous destruction as a result of a localized catastrophe such as a fire, flooding, or shear force. Bypass–isolation transfer switch equipment so that transfer switches can be maintained or repaired without disruption of critical load equipment. Q.
Preliminary design Installation Recommendations Preliminary design Ventilation G. Field Check for Proper Ventilation 1. Run the engine on full load / typical load for about 1 hour so that temperature in the enclosure gets stabilized. 2. Measure the ambient air temperature (ambient temperature should be measured outside the enclosure in shade). 3. Measure the temperature inside the enclosure. Enclosure temperature should be measured near air cleaner inlet of engine. 4.
Mechanical design Installation Recommendations Mechanical design Air System Engine Model A. Vacuum indicator is supplied with all engines to indicate choked filter. Max air intake restriction with clean and choked filter is as follows : X Series mm/wc (in/wc) Clean filter 250 (10) Choked filter 400 (15.
Mechanical design Installation Recommendations Mechanical design Optimum Location of Silencer In-line Engine Best 2L / 5 Second best 2L / 5 Worst Location of Silencer In-line Engine Worst L or 3L 5 5 Fuel system ‘V’ Engine A. Ensure that fill point is accessible and clean all the time. Provide proper lid and lock. Ensure that all piping is leak free. B. Service storage tank should be located such that piping will have minimum and controlled restriction.
Mechanical design Installation Recommendations Mechanical design Starting system Cranking torque and starting time is affected by the following: A. Auxiliary loads vary depending upon the type of application. The auxiliary torque curve will affect the time to accelerate cranking speed. B. Fuel with low energy content will need more time to crank because of slower burning and erratic firing. C. Colder ambient temperature increase starting torque requirement.
Electrical design Installation Recommendations Electrical design B. While terminating cables avoid any tension on the bolts / busbars. C. While terminating R.Y.B. phase notations should be maintained in the alternator and control panel for easy maintenance. D. Crimped cables should be connected to alternator and control panel through cable glands. Genset / Engine Controls The generator set is controlled locally by a dedicated Generator Control Panel.
Electrical design Installation Recommendations Electrical design H. The terminal box is most conveniently glanded on either right or left hand side. Both panels are removable for drilling/punching to suit glands/or glanding boxes. If single core cables are taken through the terminal box side panel, an insulated or nonmagnetic gland plate should be fitted. I. Incoming cables should be supported from either below or above the box level and at a sufficient distance from the centre line of the generating set.
