Service Details
Generator periodic inspection; It is the process of inspecting and testing the generator sets and generator installations used as the main or backup energy source of a facility, at regular intervals, in accordance with the legislation and relevant TS / TS EN standards. In practice, this service; Although it is referred to by different names such as generator periodic inspection, generator installation periodic inspection, generator periodic tests, generator periodic inspection report, generator periodic inspection form or generator periodic inspection report, the common purpose of all of them is; Periodic inspection of the generator system that will be activated in the event of a power outage is safe, sufficient and the work equipment is to verify that it complies with the generator criteria.
Generator periodic inspection should not be confused with classical generator maintenance services. Periodic maintenance; While it covers operating and service activities based on manufacturer recommendations such as oil change, filter replacement, cleaning, adjustment and calibration, periodic inspection and periodic inspection; It is an independent testing and inspection activity that is mandatory in accordance with the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, and at the end, an official generator periodic inspection report is issued. Generator periodic maintenance (daily, weekly, monthly, 3-monthly, 6-monthly and annual maintenance steps) extends the life of the generator and reduces malfunctions; However, it alone does not meet the legal periodic inspection obligation.
Legal basis for generator periodic inspection; Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 and the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued pursuant to this law. Generators are counted among the equipment subject to periodic inspection within the scope of periodic inspection of work equipment, and unless a different period is defined in the relevant standards, the generator periodic inspection period is considered to be a maximum of 1 year. For this reason, it is a legal obligation for all generator installations, especially generators used for emergency and uninterrupted energy purposes, to be subject to periodic inspection at least once a year.
Our Bursa generator periodic inspection service; It covers diesel, natural gas and mobile generator sets in critical structures such as hospitals, data centers, banks, telecom facilities, industrial facilities, shopping malls, hotels, logistics warehouses and public buildings. In this context; The generator engine, alternator, power and control panels, automatic transfer panel (ATS/AMF), cable and busbar connections, grounding and equipotential busbars, generator room architecture and ventilation are evaluated holistically. In synchronously operating generator groups, periodic inspection is planned by taking into account the synchronous generator periodic maintenance records and synchronization settings.
Before coming to the field; Generator technical documents, nameplate information, previous generator periodic inspection reports and generator periodic inspection reports, generator maintenance contract and periodic maintenance records, if any, fault reports and operating instructions are examined. A periodic inspection plan specific to the facility is prepared by evaluating the operating order of the facility, sensitivity of critical loads, minimum power outage tolerance, generator activation scenarios (manual, automatic, synchronous operation, etc.) and controls are implemented in the field according to this plan.
During the visual and mechanical inspection phase; In the generator engine, oil and fuel leaks, hoses and connection points, radiator and cooling circuit, fan belts, exhaust line, vibration mounts, chassis and foundation bolts, cabin and sound insulation, fuel tank and discharge mechanisms are checked in detail. In addition, critical topics such as oxidation, looseness and corrosion in the battery and starter circuit, battery charge rectifier, battery cables and terminals are also reviewed. Traces and suitability of oil/filter changes made within the scope of diesel generator periodic maintenance are also evaluated at this stage.
During the electrical testing phase; Insulation resistance measurements at the generator output, grounding continuity and continuity of protection conductors, leakage current and protection mechanisms, selection and settings of short circuit and overcurrent protection elements, phase sequence, voltage and frequency values, voltage and frequency behavior under load are measured. In facilities deemed necessary; The practical performance of the generator is evaluated by applying heating controls with thermal camera, testing with load bank or controlled load taking scenarios with facility load.
During the checks, function tests of the generator control system and automatic transfer panels (ATS/AMF) are performed; By simulating a grid outage scenario, automatic start/stop function, load pickup and load return to the grid scenarios are observed. In synchronous operating generator groups; synchronization, load sharing, cosφ and power factor control, parallel operation scenarios and activation conditions of protection relays (over/under voltage, frequency, phase sequence, unbalance, etc.) are checked; Thus, in synchronous generators, periodic inspection and periodic maintenance records are associated with each other.
Generator room and installation are periodically checked; The adequacy of natural and/or mechanical ventilation, fresh air and hot air outlet directions, whether exhaust gas is discharged in a way that does not pose a risk to the building and people, the location of fuel tanks and fuel storage areas, fire detection and extinguishing systems, emergency stop buttons, emergency lighting, escape routes and warning signs are evaluated from an occupational health and safety perspective. Detected nonconformities and recommended corrective actions are clearly stated in the report; Thus, improvement steps are concretized in terms of both occupational safety and fire/explosion risk.
Generator periodic inspection report; It consists of inspection date, location and description of the generator, brand/model and power information, brand/model and calibration information of the test devices used, visual and mechanical inspection results, measured electrical values, results of function and load tests, detected nonconformities and their severity, and conclusions and recommendations. The report is prepared in accordance with the periodic inspection criteria published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the relevant EMO/Generator periodic inspection form format and is used as a technical document showing that your periodic inspection obligation has been fulfilled in official inspections.
The difference between generator periodic inspection and generator periodic maintenance is a point that should be particularly emphasized. Periodic maintenance; It includes hourly or periodic oil, filter, antifreeze, fuel, air and cooling checks, as well as cleaning and adjustment operations, according to manufacturer recommendations. Periodic inspection is; It is an inspection activity that is mandatory to be carried out at least once a year according to the regulations and focuses more on security, compliance and documentation. The healthiest approach; It is the official verification of the system with independent periodic inspection and periodic inspection, following the maintenance activities carried out with regular generator maintenance service, professional generator maintenance service and generator maintenance contract, if any.
We can support our Bursa generator periodic inspection services with intermediate checks every 6 months in high-risk and critical facilities, based on a mandatory check once a year according to the risk level and operating conditions of your facility. In this way, a security level that goes beyond legal requirements is provided, especially for hospitals, data centers and businesses where uninterrupted energy needs are critical. Your Bursa generator periodic maintenance and Bursa generator maintenance service requests are also taken into consideration in this planning, and your maintenance and control processes are harmonized with each other.
