Data centers have unique and significant power requirements. To determine the correct generator size, it’s advisable to have an electrician or electrical contractor assess your facility. Consider factors like total power load, redundancy needs, and future expansion plans. You can also use our amperage calculator to estimate your power needs.

A data center generator should offer:

• High reliability and uptime to keep critical systems operational
• Scalability to accommodate future growth
• Remote monitoring capabilities for real-time oversight
• Low emissions to meet environmental regulations
• Rapid start-up times to minimize downtime during outages

Proper maintenance ensures longevity and optimal performance:

• Perform regular oil and coolant checks, changing them as necessary
• Keep the generator clean and free from dust and debris
• Run the generator periodically to prevent system corrosion
• Store the generator in a controlled environment to protect it from extreme conditions
• Regularly inspect and tighten bolts and electrical connections
