Emergency Generators

Reserve power, e.g. emergency diesel generators, are not units intended for continuous operation, but rather systems tasked with vital safety functions. To ensure this system safety function, these systems are tested for a specified period of time at regular time intervals; say, a few hours every two weeks. A common problem for these types of units is that their heaviest components, the motor and the generator, rest on weak skids and frames. Industry-sized generators emit a fair amount of structure-borne noise and can become a potential noise source when located near offices and living...
