My Kubota 9kw genset has two fans installed. One is a small squirrel cage fan for air circulation in the compartment and the other is a radiator cooling fan powered by a small 1/4 hp motor in the adjoining bay.
These fans are wired through fuses directly to the genset. When the genset starts, the fans start within around 4 or 5 seconds.
Is that bad for the genset to have a load on just after it starts?
If so is there any way of delaying the fans for longer?
Thanks, Iver
No problem. In fact it is probably better for the gen set. It really needs to heat up to 180 degrees for best operation. Most emergency gens sets start up and are immediately connected to the full load they normally have.

Thank you. Just one less thing to worry about
Iver.
