Regular servicing is the key to success

by

PowerGen Australia is breathing new life into an Old Olympian 165kVA with the supply, fitting, and load testing of a new Perkins 1106A-70TAG2 Engine. 

The old Perkins 1100 series engine racked up a solid 9,000 hours in harsh conditions, so we decided it was time to re-power the unit. 

We will be revamping two more of these generators over the next few weeks to improve the life of these machines!

Generators are subject to brutal working conditions to provide optimal power for those who depend on them. In such circumstances, immense stress is continuously on the engine, which requires frequent servicing.

Regular scheduled servicing is the best way to keep your generator healthy, functioning, and performing at maximum capacity. 

Servicing will minimize the risk of engine failure and increase the longevity of your generator, which will keep you powered for longer. 

We understand the expense of buying a generator; that’s why we offer a tailored and proactive maintenance generator service to suit your budget. 

The PowerGen Australia team is backed by an extraordinary team with years of industry experience and training to keep you operational.

Our servicing team is comprised of top-of-the-line electricians, highly skilled diesel generator mechanics, and communicative operations managers. 

The PowerGen Australia team thoroughly inspects all working features of the generators they are servicing and will leave you with complete confidence that your generator is running at maximum output.

We currently are a contracted service agent for over 96 industrial diesel generators ranging in size from 13kVA to 2.5Meg. 

By regularly servicing these generators, we can keep an eye on problematic features, run energy efficiency tests, and address any unseen issues that may present themselves.

Generator waterproofing – is it really that important?

by

Our generators are of the highest quality, but it doesn’t matter if you buy the most expensive or cheapest generator on the market, you still have to maintain it.

If generators aren’t properly maintained they’ll lose their longevity and reliability. 

So you may ask, how do I keep my generator in good working condition? The answer is simple really. 

Keep up with ongoing engine and alternator maintenance as well as maintaining your generators canopy or even installing a weatherproof canopy if your generator is an open style.

A properly maintained weatherproof canopy will protect your generator from all the elements. It will also prevent water from infiltrating the bunded area causing corrosion.

You wouldn’t leave all your expensive equipment out in the rain, would you? So why should your generator be any different? 

Here at PowerGen Australia, our expert team is prepared to take care of your generator from engine maintenance to waterproofing. If you are looking to purchase a new generator all PowerGen Australia’s generator canopies are either pre-treated galvanised or Primed with zinc primer (type epoxy/zinc phosphate for instance) at least 40μ thick for extended life.

If you don’t have a waterproof canopy for your generator be sure to call our expert team today!

You don’t want your generator canopy to end up like this….
