FAQs
What does “robust design” mean for electrical generators at McDonald?
Robust design refers to engineering generators so they consistently perform under a wide range of operating conditions—temperature swings, load fluctuations, and harsh environments—while minimizing downtime. Our design process emphasizes high-grade materials, vibration-resistant assemblies, redundant protective features, and rigorous stress testing to ensure reliability for mission-critical applications.
Which industries benefit most from McDonald’s robust generators?
Although any facility that requires dependable power can benefit, our robust generator line is especially popular in data centers, hospitals, mining operations, oil & gas sites, large-scale agriculture, and remote telecommunications hubs. These sectors face severe consequences from power loss, so they value the extra durability, low maintenance requirements, and extended service life our units provide.
How do your generators handle extreme weather and environmental conditions?
Each model is sealed to at least IP54 (higher ratings available) and uses anti-corrosion coatings, stainless hardware, and tropicalized windings to combat moisture, dust, and salt spray. Cooling systems are oversized to prevent overheating in high ambient temperatures, while cold-weather kits with battery warmers and jacketed block heaters guarantee reliable starting down to –40 °C. Optional enclosures are hurricane-rated for wind-borne debris and include sound attenuation.
Can McDonald customize a generator to meet my specific electrical and regulatory requirements?
Yes. Our engineering team can tailor voltage, frequency, control interfaces, and fuel type (diesel, natural gas, bi-fuel) to your project. We also design to regional grid codes (e.g., UL 2200, CSA, CE) and site-specific standards such as NFPA 110 for emergency power. Custom skid sizes, synchronization packages, and harmonic-mitigating alternators are available at no additional design charge for most configurations.
What maintenance and support services do you provide after installation?
We offer turnkey preventive maintenance plans that cover scheduled inspections, oil and filter changes, coolant sampling, and load-bank testing. Remote monitoring via cellular or Ethernet alerts our technicians to anomalies in real time. Customers receive 24/7 emergency response, with guaranteed on-site support within four hours in most regions. A five-year parts and labor warranty is standard on all robust design models.
How energy-efficient are McDonald’s robust generators compared to conventional units?
Our latest diesel range achieves up to 6 % lower specific fuel consumption through advanced combustion mapping, high-pressure common-rail injection, and variable-geometry turbocharging. For gas models, we integrate lean-burn technology and digital ignition control, yielding electrical efficiencies up to 43 %. These improvements translate to significant fuel savings and reduced CO₂ emissions over the generator’s lifetime.
