Case Study (Demo): 400 kW Kohler Standby Generator Installation | Colonie, NY

Demo content for website layout only. This project report is fictional and intended to show what a finished case study can look like.

Project overview

Customer: Superfab Industrial (Demo)
Location: Colonie, NY
Project type: Commercial standby power installation
Equipment: 400 kW Kohler standby generator (Demo)

The situation

Superfab Industrial (Demo) operates light industrial fabrication and production equipment that cannot tolerate extended power interruptions. They needed a standby generator system sized to support critical building loads and maintain operations during outages, with reliable automatic transfer and a clean, serviceable installation.

Scope of work

• Site walk and installation planning (placement, access, and service clearances)
• Standby generator placement and anchoring
• Automatic transfer switch (ATS) integration
• Startup, testing, and transfer verification
• Basic owner walk-through and maintenance recommendations

Key requirements

• Commercial-grade standby capacity suitable for critical loads
• Automatic transfer during outages
• Clean cable routing and serviceability
• Clear documentation for future maintenance and support

Installation notes

For this demo project, the generator was placed to maintain proper clearances and allow safe access for routine service. The system was configured to support automatic transfer and stable operation during power loss events. The installation was completed with an emphasis on durability, service access, and long-term reliability.

Commissioning and testing

• Initial startup checks and operational verification
• ATS transfer function tested and confirmed
• Controller status checked for alarms/warnings
• Basic run verification to ensure stable output

Result

Superfab Industrial (Demo) now has a standby generator solution that supports automatic backup power for critical operations. The system is set up for straightforward maintenance and predictable performance during outages.
