A behind-the-scenes look at FW Power’s installation and commissioning of a 110 kVA Blackwell B110LS diesel generator at the Trafford Centre in Greater Manchester.

FW Power has installed and commissioned a 110 kVA Blackwell B110LS diesel generator at the Trafford Centre in Greater Manchester. The project brings together our on-site installation and commissioning services, with these photographs offering a closer look at the work behind a commercial generator installation.

A closer look at the rooftop installation

The Blackwell B110LS is positioned within the rooftop plant area, supported on steel framework. The photographs show the generator in its site setting, alongside surrounding building services, as well as close-up views of its enclosure and control panel.

For businesses planning a diesel generator installation, the site matters as much as the equipment. Positioning, access for servicing, ventilation and the connection to the existing electrical system all need to be considered when defining the installation scope.

This Trafford Centre project offers a practical example of FW Power working on site to install a Blackwell generator in a commercial environment.

On-site generator commissioning

Commissioning formed part of FW Power’s work at the Trafford Centre. One of the project photographs shows the generator control panel open, with a laptop, tools and paperwork alongside the unit, giving a behind-the-scenes view of the commissioning setup.

Generator commissioning is an important stage between installation and service. Its purpose is to check the installation and the agreed system operation, with the testing scope defined for the particular project.

The installation and commissioning of the 110 kVA Blackwell B110LS demonstrate the practical engineering support FW Power brings to commercial generator projects.
