Technical FAQs 4

How do I choose a foundation for a generator set?

Foundations supporting generator sets must meet flotation, alignment and vibration parameters for successful operation. Specifications that consider the following criteria will help assure trouble-free installation and operation. Foundations must be able to withstand the installation's weight and prevent deflection.

What makes a good generator foundation?

The foundation, floor, or roof must be able to support the weight of the assembled generator set and its accessories (such as a sub–base fuel tank), as well as resist dynamic loads and not transmit objectionable noise and vibration.

Does a genset need a foundation?

Slab Floor: For many applications, a massive foundation is not necessary for the generator set. Gensets with integral vibration isolators can reduce transmitted vibrations by 60–80% and placing steel spring isolators between the genset and slab can isolate greater than 95% of vibra-tions (see vibration isolators later in this section).

How should a generator mounting pad be positioned?

The mounting pad for the generator set should be level and flat to allow for proper mounting and adjustment of the vibration isolation system. Verify that the mounting pad is level lengthwise, widthwise, and diagonally.
