Keeping production, security systems, and critical facilities running through a grid outage depends on a generator system that is correctly sized and correctly installed. The generator service covers the whole process — from analyzing the emergency standby power requirement to the automatic transfer system, from fuel and exhaust infrastructure to commissioning.
Miratek treats generator projects as part of the electrical infrastructure as a whole. Load analysis, generator and ATS panel selection, generator room layout, and the ventilation, exhaust, and fuel line design are carried under a single engineering responsibility. Where required, synchronized parallel operation of multiple generators is also brought into the project scope.
At the commissioning stage, the system is tested with a real outage scenario; transfer times and load acceptance are verified in place. After handover, a periodic maintenance program keeps the system ready for duty at all times.

How We Work
Load Analysis and Sizing
The loads to be supplied during an outage and their starting characteristics are analyzed to determine the generator rating.
Design
Generator layout, the ATS panel, cabling, exhaust, ventilation, and the fuel system are designed.
Procurement and Installation
Generator and panel equipment are procured; foundation, installation, and infrastructure works are completed on site.
Testing and Commissioning
The system is tested under load with a real outage scenario; transfer times and protection functions are verified.
Periodic Maintenance
Engine, battery, fuel, and control systems are checked at planned intervals to keep the system ready at all times.
Scope of Work
- Standby power needs analysis and generator sizing
- ATS panel design and mains-generator interlocking arrangement
- Generator room, exhaust, ventilation, and fuel line works
- Synchronized parallel operation systems
- Cabling and power distribution connections
- On-load testing and commissioning
- Periodic maintenance and readiness checks
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the generator rating selected?
The sum of the loads to be supplied during an outage is not enough on its own; motor starting currents, UPS charging loads, and future growth are also factored in. Wrong sizing produces either a system that fails to pick up the load or unnecessary fuel and investment cost. Selection therefore always starts with a load analysis.
What is an ATS, and why is it needed?
An ATS (automatic transfer system) is the panel that shifts the load to the generator when the mains fails and back to the mains when it returns. Because it requires no human intervention, it minimizes the outage duration, and its interlocking arrangement prevents the risk of back-feeding.
How often should a generator be maintained?
Even generators on standby require regular maintenance; fuel, battery, and cooling systems lose performance over time. Planned periodic checks and on-load run tests guarantee that the system performs when a real outage strikes.
