Your power is our priority
Sometimes just owning a generator isn’t enough to save your business from power loss.
A standby diesel generator is the most effective way to quickly restore power following an unexpected outage. They are capable of starting and taking load within 10-15 seconds. When used in combination with an online UPS (uninterruptible power supply), your essential loads and critical equipment can have zero downtime.
But what happens if this generator doesn’t start? Or if the power fails to transfer and supply your building?
This can cause major disruption to your business systems and operations for the period that mains power is unavailable.
Following an event like this, it is important to review your current maintenance arrangements and ensure that measures are taken to prevent a re-occurrence.
Below is an info-graphic with some basic primary causes of failure for a diesel generator and some tips to prevent them.
Of course, there are many more causes of failure on a generator and changeover system.
