Ai-Tec's acoustic friendly generator range

May 2010 Electrical Power & Protection

Included in Ai-Tec’s range of industrial and commercial equipment, are low noise generators, available from 2 kVA to 2500 kVA for industrial, commercial and domestic applications.

The acoustic design meets the requirements of EU legislation 2000/14/EC. This is achieved by the extensive use of a rock wool and perforated zintec steel lining, enhanced by the efficient management of cooling air. The exhaust noise is minimised by a silencer which is mounted within the base frame. Also integrated within the base frame are the filler, gauge and accessory points. The fuel tank allows eight hours running of the generator, at 75% load.

These generators are available with auto or key-start options and powered by Perkins and Volvo engines. The emergency stop button is externally located, while heavy duty locks on the doors provide security. Commissioning is carried out by Ai-Tec, each unit being stringently tested during the process.
