Generators are vital devices that protect systems and the information within them when power outages occur for any reason. They usually do not operate for long periods. Therefore, if you don’t want to face a situation where your generator fails to start during a power cut, you must ensure regular maintenance.

Generators run on three different fuel types: diesel, gasoline, or natural gas. At ARV Group, we provide periodic and filter maintenance services for all your generators. It is essential that all parts of the generator are regularly maintained because generators activate suddenly and at critical moments to supply electricity to the system. For such a vital device to be used longer without problems and at high performance—and to prevent potential malfunctions before they happen—regular maintenance is crucial.

Additionally, all necessary maintenance must be performed by authorized service providers during the warranty period. Once the warranty expires, you can secure 24/7 regular maintenance service for your generator through a periodic inspection and maintenance agreement. You can contact our service department to arrange either periodic or filter maintenance agreements.

How is Generator Maintenance Performed?

During generator maintenance, many parts and components are inspected and examined. After the maintenance, some tests are performed. Finally, the entire system is delivered in working condition until the next maintenance.

During the maintenance, especially important parts and components on the system are checked. First, the windings are inspected. The winding inspection is based on values on the generator, measuring the resistance of the main stator and rotor as well as the rotor resistance of the exciter motor. The main purpose of this process is to observe the motor’s resistance values and check for any leakage.

Another important part checked is the bearings. Bearings, also known as ball bearings, are one of the most frequently used parts in generators. They generally do not cause problems apart from noise, but once removed, reinstallation can be somewhat difficult. This is because new bearings are heated to around 80 degrees Celsius and then placed in position using hand presses.

What Are the Benefits of Generator Maintenance?

Performing maintenance on a generator can provide many financial benefits to the user. Additionally, since many components are checked during maintenance, the generator reliably supplies electricity during power outages. This ensures that the system does not lose power in critical situations. Moreover, regular maintenance extends the generator’s lifespan, allowing you to amortize the maintenance costs over a longer period of use. Another benefit is energy savings: since the generator consumes fuel, well-maintained units use fuel more efficiently. The system that converts fuel into energy minimizes the very short transition losses.
