Open Type Generator FAQ's

An open type generator is a generator that has no canopy or enclosure, leaving the elements exposed. Open type generator is a generator which is mounted directly onto a metal frame. 

GENSET is another term for a generator. A open genset is a generator which is mounted directly onto a metal frame. The frame usual has a base fuel tank. 

Open type generators dont have a protective canopy or accoustic enclsures, whcih protects the generator from the elements, where as a silent generator does. Silent generators are quieter due to the acoustic enclosure. Open sets are typically installed in basements, or in buildings. 

There are two types of generators, soundproofed (also known as silent type) and open sets (also referred to as basic sets). Soundproofed generators have a canopy, which protects the generator from the elements and also reduces noise levels. However a open set doesn’t, an open set is mounted directly onto a steel base leaving the major components exposed.
