Data Centers from Edge to Cloud

Our Focus

PTS’ Data Center Maintenance Management Software solution (DCMMS) provides a complete & integrated management platform for operational maintenance of a data center and its support infrastructure

Data Center Power Generator Maintenance is critical to avoid downtime in a data center environment. There are a number of items to consider when performing maintenance of a generator.

Prime Rated Generators are designed to run with 10% overload for 1 hour in any 12 hour period. This should not be exceeded
Standby Rated Generators are designed to run at 100% load for the duration of an outage with no overload available
Load must be balanced / distributed across all three phases
The AMF panel should be used correctly in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
Maintenance must be carried out on a 6 month basis by a qualified and fully trained generator engineer
Ensure that only approved parts are used when repairing the generator
Keep all maintenance and repair records in a safe place readily available to the generator engineer
Report any irregularities (both visual and otherwise) immediately
All fuel, oil, water and other fluid levels to be kept full
Generator is never allowed to run out of fuel or oil whilst holding the load
Generator is never over-loaded and never allowed to run lightly loaded for long periods
Generator is run off load once every week for a 5 minute test
Generator is run with load once a month

PTS provides data center power generator maintenance contracts as part of a comprehensive service plan specifically designed to provide preventative maintenance for generators. In addition, as an enterprise grows in terms of size and complexity, it can become unwieldy to maintain service records and keep up-to-date on preventative maintenance cycles for generators as well as other facility infrastructure components such as CRACs, UPSs and PDUs.
