Containerised Generators

For acoustically treated generators with electrical outputs of 800kVA and above, Musgrave recommend installing the generator into an ISO style container. There are several options available including 20ft, 40ft standard both variants are available at 8ft6 and 9ft6 heights. Dependent on the size and type of generator installed within the container, acoustic louvre's can be internal.

Musgrave container generators are designed and built to provide easy access for the customer without compromising on security and durability.

As our container generators are suited to remote installations where high security, and durability are key, all units are completely self contained, and where possible, fuel, control and exhaust systems are integrated into the container.

All containers are fully bunded and incorporate containment for spills & leaks. To further provide longevity on our containers, all container furniture (hinges, locks & handles) are stainless steel, and our containers are painted to marine and offshore standards. Sound levels on Musgrave container generators can be reduced to 65dBA@1m, and container units are available as both 20 and 40 foot options.

A containerised diesel generator is a diesel-powered generator set that is enclosed within a container for ease of transportation, installation, and operation.

A diesel generator is a combination of a diesel engine and an electric generator (alternator) used to generate electrical energy. Diesel generators are commonly used as backup power sources in situations where a stable power supply is crucial, such as in data centres, hospitals, or industrial facilities. The term containerised means that the entire diesel generator unit is enclosed within a container. This container serves as a protective housing, providing a controlled environment for the generator set. The container can be transported easily and installed at different locations as needed.

The benefits of containerising a diesel generator include:

Mobility: The generator can be transported easily to different sites, making it suitable for temporary power needs or emergency situations.

Security: The container provides protection against environmental factors, theft, and vandalism.

Ease of Installation: Containerised generators are designed for quick deployment, simplifying the installation process.

Scalability: Multiple containerised generators can be used together to meet higher power demands.

Containerised generator units can be designed to be plug-and-play solutions, with all necessary components integrated into the container. They may include fuel tanks, control panels, exhaust systems, and other features required for autonomous operation.

This type of setup is especially common in industries where temporary or mobile power solutions are needed, such as construction sites, events, or remote locations. Additionally, containerised generators can be an integral part of disaster recovery plans or backup power systems for critical infrastructure.

Electrical generators are pieces of critical power equipment that provide electricity when power from the power grid is unavailable. Interestingly enough, generators don’t actually create electricity. Instead, generators convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy – by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. Once an electrical current has been established, it is directed through copper wires to power external machines, devices, or entire electrical systems.

Nearly all electronic and electrical equipment, regardless of how well-designed and built it is, will eventually break down unless it is maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Wear and tear is common with electrical equipment, but it has severe consequences for UPS systems and generators, where financial, reputation and potentially life-threatening damage comes into play. It is highly recommended that as a minimum you service your power systems annually in order to maintain its working lifecycle. Our service contracts include everything from AC maintenance, DC maintenance and generator maintenance through to analogue metering, intelligent monitoring, remote monitoring and spare parts, as well as callouts, minor fault fixes and access to our customer portal, where you can access management information reports and other key details on your power supply systems.

Without proper maintenance, generators can fall prey to failures and power outages. Generator manufacturers generally recommend that a generator should be serviced after the first year of installation and on an annual basis there on after. We also suggest carrying out regular visual inspections to keep on top of any faults within your generator that may require maintenance sooner than anticipated.

Factors that may result in more frequent maintenance include:

Exposure to extreme temperatures and weather can damage components of the generator.
Airborne contaminants such as dust and sand may infiltrate the generator, causing damage to its internal components.

Excess usage: Most diesel generators are designed to provide backup power. Should a standby generator be used for prime power, care should be taken to ensure the generator is inspected frequently and only used for as long as it is required.

Lack of usage: Similarly, if a generator is left dormant longer than expected, engine exercise should be carried out to avoid battery failure.

To comply with British Standards, the base material should be either:

Concrete at least 100mm thick.
Paving stones at least 50mm thick.
Stonework at least 50mm thick.

The overall size of the base should be larger than the oil storage tank and any integral oil storage tank bund, so that when the oil storage tank is installed, the base has a clear projection of a minimum of 300mm around all sides of the oil storage tank.

We have no doubt of your trained eye, but an OFTEC inspection provides assurance that your tank is fine, and can function properly. When exposed to the elements, steel pipes can rust, and plastic becomes brittle. Similarly, poor installation can put large amounts of pressure on the tank, leading to leaks and pollution. Having your oil tanks inspected will considerably reduce any risk, and leave you less liable should an issue occur.

Diesel generators

Diesel generators are those that are run on diesel, and can typically be divided into two basic parts: a diesel engine and an electrical generator. Diesel generators can be used to provide power to places that are not powered by a power grid or can be used as a backup in case of a power outage.

Natural gas generators

Natural gas generators use natural gas however, and are used in both emergency and portable generator types. They are one of the most affordable and effective fuels among non-renewable resources for power generation.

LPG generators

LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) generators have powerful engines that run smoothly and quietly while providing dependable power when you need it most.

Once the generator has been installed successfully, it will require further attention before the system will operate as intended. ‘Commissioning’ refers to the tests that are carried out to ensure that the generator works as intended. Certain components need to be completed before the generator is ready for commissioning. Upon completion, each component needs to be verified to ensure the generator is fully operational to achieve optimum performance.

Knowing exactly which parts are needed is of vital importance to successfully repairing any damaged or faulty generators. First, you must identify which part needs replacing, then you need to find the corresponding part for the exact make and model of your generator. Our dedicated team use a parts identification system and an advanced ordering system to get you the right part when you need it most.
