Best Ways to Protect Generators from Corrosion

The most effective way to protect generators from corrosion is applying industrial-grade protective coatings to exposed metal components, combined with proper enclosure and maintenance strategies.

What Needs Protection

  • Radiators

  • Housings

  • Bases / Base rails

  • Internal metal components

Generac states on their website:

“.. within 100 miles of the coast can be subjected to saltwater in the environment which over time can potentially cause corrosion.”


Top Methods

  • Washing and Waxing Regularly - Time consuming

  • Using Weather Covers - Unsafe fire hazard and should NEVER be used

  • Building Expensive Enclosures - Potential to overheat in hot climates

  • Specialize Protective Coatings - Only an occasional rinse needed

Industries

• Data Centers • Telecom • Healthcare

  • Residential • Schools • Food Storage
