Reliable, Code-compliant Generator Installation in Arcadia, Missouri

Site Assessment and Load Calculation

We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your property's electrical system, performing a detailed load analysis using advanced power quality analyzers. This will help us determine the precise generator capacity required for your intended use. 

System Design and Permitting

Next, we will create a custom installation plan, including generator placement, transfer switch location, and fuel line routing. 

Site Preparation

We prepare the installation area, which often involves pouring a reinforced concrete pad (typically 4-6 inches thick) sized appropriately for the generator unit. For larger units, we may install vibration isolation mounts to minimize noise and vibration transmission.

Generator and Transfer Switch Installation

We position the generator, secure it to the pad, and install the automatic transfer switch (ATS). For residential installations, we typically use 200A service-rated transfer switches, while commercial projects might require more complex parallel switchgear systems.

Electrical and Fuel Line Connections

Our electrician will integrate the generator into your electrical system, install dedicated circuit breakers, and run appropriately sized conductors. We also connect fuel lines, adhering to local rules.

Testing and Commissioning

In the final phase, we will conduct rigorous testing, including load bank tests, to gauge the system's performance under various load conditions. We verify transfer switch timing, typically aiming for a 10-second or less transfer to emergency power.
