In short. Specifying and installing a generator needs documents as much as advice: datasheets to compare sets, manuals for operation and maintenance, wiring diagrams for panels and controls, and general-arrangement and CAD drawings for layout. This section collects them, and the document status page records which documents are verified, which are pending, and where each came from, so you know what you can rely on.
Where to start
| If your question is… | Start with |
|---|---|
| Comparing generator models and ratings | Generator Datasheets and Brochures |
| Operation and maintenance instructions | Generator Manuals |
| Panel and control wiring | Wiring Diagrams |
| Layout drawings for a generator room or site | GA, BIM and CAD Resources for Generators |
| Checking whether a document is verified | Document and Evidence Status |
All 6 guides in this section
- Technical Library — Learn which generator document answers which question, how to check authenticity, revision and applicability, and how to request the right manual or datasheet.
- Generator Datasheets and Brochures — Learn the difference between generator brochures, datasheets, manuals and test records, how to read ratings and derating, and how to request the right document.
- Generator Manuals — Learn what engine, alternator, controller and set builder manuals cover, how to match one to your installed generator, and how to request the right revision.
- Wiring Diagrams — Understand OEM, panel builder and as-built generator wiring diagrams, the circuits each shows, how to keep them current, and how to request the correct drawing.
- GA, BIM and CAD Resources for Generators — How generator GA drawings, CAD files and BIM models support room layout, ventilation, exhaust, cabling and access, and how to request the right revision.
- Document and Evidence Status — See how we label generator documents, test records, photographs and certificates by evidence status, and what each record can and cannot prove for a decision.
Questions engineers ask
Are these documents manufacturer originals?
Manufacturer documents are labelled as such. Our own drawings and checklists are marked separately, and the evidence status page shows the source of each.
Can I get a drawing for my specific installation?
Yes. Send your site details through the application engineering enquiry and we will prepare drawings for the actual equipment and layout.
