Generators
Diesel powered standby generators offer a solution to ensure continuous operation for extended periods of time in case of mains failure. Automatic mains-fail detection and auto-start of the generator keeps power on to critical infrastructure, while the UPS will ride through the few seconds before the set powers up.
Sizing a generator
Where additional resilience is required, primary and secondary generators provide the solution. A range of fuel tank capacities enable choices to be made on how long the installation will run in the absence of mains power.
Powerworks On-site Project Managers will oversee all aspects of the installation from building a plinth to delivery to site and craneage into position.
Permanent Generator Installation
Housed in its own weatherproof acoustic canopy or in a container depending on the rating of the set, self-contained generator sets can be installed outside the building, ideally close to the main building switchgear and within the external plant compound. Powerworks engineers fully install, commission and maintain the generator.
Alternatively, where the building has sufficient internal space, an open set can be mounted in a dedicated generator room, complete with exhaust and hot air ducting to an external location, sound attenuation to meet any special requirements, and fire cut-offs and a fuel filling point included in the design.
Temporary Generator Hire
Hire of a set to suit your load in the case of planned power shutdowns.
Emergency contract hire of an 80kVA generator set, on site within 3 hours (annual contract).
The Powerworks technical team will advise on the best approach to meet any custom local requirements, taking full responsibility for sizing, installing and maintaining the entire system.
