PRACTICAL GENERATOR CONSIDERATIONS

Generator make, model and rating should be identified before service or repair work is scoped.
The equipment should be maintained according to the relevant manufacturer and site requirements.
Battery condition can contribute to failed starts and unreliable standby operation.
Fuel condition, storage and fuel-system issues can affect generator reliability.
Repeated failed starts, abnormal noise, leaks or overheating should be investigated rather than repeatedly reset.
Fixed electrical, changeover and protection work must be handled by appropriately competent persons where applicable.
WHAT TO SEND FOR A GENERATOR ENQUIRY

The more equipment information available upfront, the easier it is to determine the appropriate next step.

  • generator make and model;
  • generator rating where available;
  • description of the fault or service requirement;
  • photographs of the generator and control panel;
  • most recent service information where available;
  • site address and access information.

GENERATOR & BACKUP POWER QUESTIONS

How often should a commercial generator be serviced?
The correct servicing interval depends on the equipment, manufacturer requirements, operating hours, environmental conditions and site-specific use. The generator and available service history should be reviewed before a maintenance schedule is set.
Why will a generator not start?
Failed starting can have several possible causes, including battery, starter, control, fuel or other equipment issues. The generator should be assessed rather than repeatedly attempting to start equipment showing an unresolved fault.
Can SPINX assist with generator fault-finding and repairs?
Suitable commercial generator faults can be assessed to determine the likely cause and appropriate repair or specialist next step.
Can generators be included in planned maintenance?
Yes. Suitable recurring generator inspection and servicing requirements can form part of a broader planned maintenance or SLA programme.
What information is needed before quoting a generator repair?
Useful information includes the generator make, model, rating, description of the fault, photographs, site details and the most recent service information where available.
Can SPINX assist with a replacement generator project?
Suitable replacement or new-generator requirements can be assessed as a project. The required load, existing infrastructure, site conditions, access and other technical requirements first need to be established.
