Installation Precautions for Silent Generator Sets

1. The installation location should have good ventilation, with sufficient intake vents on the generator side and adequate exhaust vents on the diesel engine side. The exhaust vent area should be more than 1.5 times larger than the radiator area.

2. The installation area should be kept clean, and items that produce corrosive gases and vapors such as acidic and alkaline substances should be avoided nearby. Fire extinguishing equipment should be provided if possible.

3. When using indoors, the exhaust pipe must be routed to the outside, with a diameter of at least equal to the exhaust diameter of the silencer. The bends in the connected pipe should not exceed three to ensure smooth exhaust flow, and the pipe should be inclined downward by 5-10 degrees to prevent rainwater from entering; if the exhaust pipe is installed vertically upwards, a rain shield must be added.

4. When using concrete as the foundation, it is essential to measure its level using a level during installation to ensure the unit is fixed on a level base. Anti-vibration pads or base bolts should be used between the unit and the foundation.

5. The housing of the unit must have a reliable protective grounding. For generators requiring a direct neutral grounding, the neutral grounding must be performed by staff, and lightning protection devices must be installed. It is strictly prohibited to use the grounding devices of the municipal power supply for direct neutral grounding.

6. The bidirectional switch between the generator and the municipal power supply must be extremely reliable to prevent back-feeding. The wiring reliability of the bidirectional switch must be inspected and approved by the local power supply department.
