Turnkey Generator Installation: Engineering Precision
Installing a 100 kVA to 2500 kVA diesel generator set requires rigorous adherence to local municipal regulations, Civil Defense standards, and utility provider requirements (DEWA in Dubai, SEWA in Sharjah, ADDC/AADC in Abu Dhabi).
1. Civil Foundation & Anti-Vibration Works
The foundation concrete plinth must weigh at least 1.5 to 2 times the total wet weight of the generator set. High-performance spring or neoprene vibration isolators must be installed between the generator skid and the concrete plinth to prevent structural harmonic transmission into surrounding buildings.
2. Exhaust Routing & Residential Silencers
Exhaust systems must be constructed using schedule 40 carbon steel or stainless steel piping, thermal insulation lagging, stainless steel bellows (flexible expansion joints), and high-attenuation residential silencers (minimum 25–35 dBA reduction).
3. Bulk Fuel Storage & Duplex Pumping
For installations requiring extended runtimes (24 to 72 hours), Power Link designs and installs UL-listed double-wall diesel fuel tanks, flame-proof transfer pumps, fuel level telemetry, and secondary containment bunds complying with environmental safety regulations.
4. ATS Integration and Utility Paralleling
The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) connects the incoming main grid supply, generator emergency supply, and facility distribution busbars. During commissioning, our engineers perform phase rotation verification, timing calibration, and full load transfer tests.
