What it represents
A generator package can include the electrical machine, prime mover and equipment defined by its supply scope. Its enclosure and installation interfaces depend on the selected package. The GA must therefore reference the actual product and project equipment scope.
The original envelope illustration is unscaled and has no manufacturer dimensions. Follow the cited public resources to the exact product, then use its current drawing and installation information for engineering work.
How to read it
- Identify which accessories are included in the represented package.
- Connect the physical package reference to the electrical source on the SLD.
Information to show or reference
- Reference the manufacturer package GA.
- Identify electrical and other installation interfaces.
- Link the generator and control schedules.
A distinction that matters
A generic generator outline does not define ventilation, exhaust, fuel, acoustic performance or service access requirements.

About this graphic
This illustration was authored independently by Elora Grid to explain the concept. It is not reproduced from a customer drawing, an official standard graphic or a manufacturer CAD file. Its correspondence to an exact IEC or IEEE symbol identifier has not been certified.
SVG and DXF downloads contain this original artwork. DXF uses unscaled drawing units; a GA envelope supplies no product dimensions, clearances or fabrication information. Original artwork is available under CC BY 4.0. Third-party references retain their own terms.
