Installation and Commissioning

Generator Installation and Commissioning

The correct installation and commissioning of a generator system is vital to ensure your UPS system meets generator regulations. It’s also important to use an approved UPS installation expert to ensure that you don’t run the risk of voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. 

Using a vastly experienced Generator specialist is the first step to installing a generator system which will protect your power reliably without fault. 

When you choose Advanced Solutions, all generator installations, commissioning and decommissioning are conducted by qualified engineers who take pride in providing an unbeatable, professional service. 

Generator Commissioning

We will first take the time to fully assess your company’s infrastructure and current set-up

Determining the power needs of the equipment you want to protect is paramount, we carefully calculate the total power load, taking into consideration any expansions or additions you may wish to make in the future. 

Once we have advised you on a UPS system that can handle the power load and runtime requirements of your equipment, we will select a generator that can supply adequate power to the UPS system and support the critical load should a break in power occur.

Installing your Generator

Once commissioned, we will identify a suitable location for both the UPS system and the generator, taking into account important factors such as access for maintenance, ventilation, noise control, and proximity to the critical load.

We will prepare the installation site, ensuring that it has proper grounding, ventilation, and structural support. We will then install any required electrical panels, conduits, and transfer switches to ensure the system is ready to be mounted as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

We will then connect and install the Generator, including any required fuel lines, exhaust systems, and cooling mechanisms to ensure proper ventilation and to comply with safety standards. We then connect the generator to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) or switchgear. This allows for automatic transfer of power from the utility to the generator in the event of a power outage.

We ensure that when your mains power goes down, your backup power doesn’t fail under pressure

Generator Testing

Following the correct installation of your Generator, we will then perform comprehensive tests to verify the proper functioning of the entire backup power system. We will test the UPS system, generator, and transfer switch in various scenarios, including simulated power outages and black building tests to ensure that we know exactly how your UPS system will perform in a “power blackout” situation. 

No matter what the size Generator installation, Advanced Solutions is an expert UPS installation company that takes pride in ensuring that your generator installation and commissioning is performed on time and on budget.
