The selection of a generator is an important factor that defines the specification for a generator set. The selection of a generator in many cases requires the same attention as the selection of the engine. Physical performance characteristics and electrical performance characteristics of the application are significant in the selection of a generator. The following basic features are specified initially: Physical size, Voltage, Power rating and Frequency Range. Also, the following complex features are given careful attention: Control panel, Inertia, Pitch, Synchronous reactance and Reactive capabilitySelection of features that affect the life of the product and maintenance cost of generators are not receiving the consideration that is needed. The following basic features of the generator affect the life of the product and maintenance cost :
Types of generator windings (form wound winding or random wound winding)
Coastal insulation
Space heaters
Temperature detectors
Oversized generator for the application Indoor standby applications are optimum operating environments for generators. These generator applications do not require the same features as a generator that is operating in harsh environments. Harsh operating environments that have high condensing humidity and airborne materials that are abrasive or corrosive will benefit from these features of the generator. These features should not be eliminated from consideration in order to save initial costs. The increased life of the product and reduced maintenance cost will offset the initial savings. The following publications will be updated in order to further assist in the selection of the generator and the application.
Application Guide for Generator Systems, LEBW4993. This article provides information about generator construction which includes comparisons of different stator winding and insulation types.
Application and Installation Guide, LEBE5294, " Electric Power (EP) Applications,Engine and Generator Sizing" This article provides information on features of the generator such as winding types, and the protective insulation of the stator.
Product Update, LEXE0011. This article provides guidelines for the selection of the generator that operate in harsh environments.
Special Instruction, REHS4861, "Space Heater". This article provides instructions and parts list information that is needed in order to install a space heater to 5000 series of generator, 6000 series of generator, and 7000 series of generator .
Special Instruction, SEHS9124, "Cleaning and Drying Generator Sets" This article provides instructions on proper maintenance of generators, including procedures on checking the insulation of the stator and drying stator windings prior to operation.
Engine News, SEBD0660, "Operating Environment and its Effects on SR4 Generators" This article provides information on operating environments that affect generators.
The price list will be updated for 5000, 6000, and 7000 series of generators in order to list coastal protection insulation and space heaters as features that are packaged separately.
