The panel board comprises the following:
Automatic main circuit breaker
Change over switch with positions for: MAINS- OFF- GENERATOR
Key to start and stop the unit
Emergency stop button
Set-point for speed/governor control
Set-point for voltage control
Meters for: Volts (with selector switch to show phases to zero and phase to phase voltages), amperes (three metres or with selector switch to show current in all three phases), frequency, running hours counter
Warning system for electrical and mechanical alarms

Protection:
The generator set should be equipped with automatic shutdown equipment if fatal parameters are exceeded including low oil pressure, high engine temperature and belt failure (if applicable)

Mounting:
The engine and the alternator should be connected with a heavy-duty elastic coupling and should be mounted on a common rigid base frame with anti-vibration dampers and lifting eyes flexible for transportation
Engine, alternator, fuel tank and panel should be one integrated unit mounted on skids

Connection to ground:
The generator is supplied with connection to ground system comprising low resistance rod(s), terminals, cables, etc

Environmental conditions:
The rated power of the generator is based on the following environmental conditions:
(The country office should provide the actual local conditions to enable the calculation of de-rating that fits those local conditions)
Altitude: at 150m above sea level
Average yearly temperature 30°C
Average 24 hours temperature 40°C
Minimum temperature -10°C
Maximum operating temperature 55°C
Dust storms are expected

Accessories:
The following accessories are supplied with the generating set:
Operation and maintenance manuals (full workshop documentation for both engine and alternator), spare parts catalogues, drawings and information concerning the foundation, erection requirements, electrical connections to load and earth, etc. all in English (other languages can be provided as an option against additional cost)
Engine coolant/antifreeze liquid for the first installation
Tools kit including pipe spanners for injectors, etc.
Spare parts for 2000 hours of operation within two years (including oil and air filter cartridges and at least two full sets of v-belts and a full set of cylinder head gaskets)
A full set of replacement switches/sensors for detection of fatal parameters (low oil pressure, high engine temperature, belt failure, etc)
