Frequently Asked Questions
To ensure that a combustion installation, which includes emergency generators, operates as efficiently and safely as possible, the government has established requirements that combustion installations must meet. This quality standard is known as SCIOS. The government does not carry out these inspections itself; instead, SCIOS-certified companies do this. ABATO Motoren is SCIOS-certified and can perform these inspections. A SCIOS inspection involves checking the generator to see if it meets the applicable standards and that the installation still functions properly. More information about SCIOS inspections can be found here.
Generator maintenance is quite a broad concept and includes checking the oil and diesel, performing a maintenance service, and load testing the generator.

A generator will, when functioning properly, automatically detect when there is no longer voltage on the grid and then automatically switch on. This way, equipment does not lose power and your business can continue operating.
