A generator is only useful if it is correctly sized, correctly connected and safely isolated from the municipal supply. Undersized sets trip on start-up; unsafe connections put anyone working on the network at risk.
We calculate the running and starting load, recommend a set size, install a proper changeover or automatic transfer switch, build an essential-load board and commission the system with the client present.
What the work covers
- Load assessment and generator sizing
- Manual and automatic transfer switch installation
- Essential-load sub-board for selected circuits
- Generator cabling, earthing and weatherproof housing
- Fuel and exhaust route coordination with the installer
- Commissioning, load testing and operator handover
Signs you need it
- Frequent outages disrupting operations
- A generator already on site but not safely connected
- Extension leads running from a portable set into the building
- Business that cannot afford downtime during load shedding
