Installation Guidelines

The procedures presented in this manual are suggestions and it is the responsibility of the Owner/Operator to arrange for these procedures to be performed by licensed contractors according to all applicable codes including local codes for your Municipality/City/County and State. In addition to these suggestions, before installing your generator you should obtain the most up to date copies of the following documents from the National Electrical Code and other authorities:

SNational Electric Code, Articles 230, 250, 445, 517, 700.

SNational Fire Protection Association

No. 30 – Storage, Handling and Use of Flammable Liquids. No. 37 – Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines. No. 99 – Essential Electrical Systems for Health Care Facilities. No. 101 – Life Safety Code No. Systems.

No. 110 – 1985 Emergency and Standby Power Systems.

SNEMA MG1

SLocal Codes applicable to Genset Installation. See your local building inspector.

Site Planning

Room Size Open frame generators must be protected from the environment while having good ventilation and cooling. Here are some considerations for planning a generator room or enclosure:

SNever use the Genset room for storage as well.

SThe room must be large enough to contain the genset and all the accessories, such as batteries and their charging system, transfer switch and other controls, and elements of the cooling and fuel systems.

SA minimum of 2 feet (preferably 4 feet), must be allowed on the two sides of the engine for service access.

SOn the generator end of the engine, allow a space equal to the length of the generator (generator length only, not the entire genset).

SAt the front of the engine, 4 feet of clearance is preferable. Allow clearance between hot parts of the system (exhaust) and structural members of the building.

SCertain safety and building codes may require the genset room not to be used to house any other mechanical or electrical equipment.
