Generators
Temperature and Altitude
Both temperature and altitude have a parasitic effect on generator operation - both may require a “derate” of the available kW displayed on the nameplate. When ambient or outside temperature exceeds 40°C, it becomes necessary to derate generator output. The chart below gives the recommended amount to adjust for this higher temperature. Higher altitudes also require a derate, specifically when it exceeds 1000 metres. Again, please refer to the Altitude Deration chart below to determine the necessary derate factor. Environment Generators are often exposed to harmful airborne pollutants, like sand and saltwater, which may require some form of protection to reduce or eliminate harmful agents. Common elements like dirt, gravel or rock dust can create abrasive and potentially damaging effects on the generator windings. Adding filters, baffles, or housings will help the life of the protective insulation, though it may be equally effective to overcoat the windings at the point of manufacture. It is also extremely important to recognise that filters and other devices can affect the airflow through the generator and create additional heat in the windings. Mecc Alte has a variety of insulation treatments which can add years to your generator and ensure that the windings are protected in these harmful environmental applications.
Humidity and Moisture
Another common enemy of the insulation system is high humidity, salt air and moisture. Space heaters and housings with proper ventilation can be insurance to promote long life and trouble free operation. The location of the unit, as well as operating conditions, are important considerations when determining what protection is required. Once again, please consult your Mecc Alte Representative for assistance in selecting protection and modifications.
