A generator system may include a compressor and an electric motor. The compressor includes an impeller, and the compressor provides a quantity of air flowing toward an intake of an engine through rotation of the impeller. The electric motor is mechanically linked to the compressor and rotates the impeller to force the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine. The generator system may include a charge air cooler to receive the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine and increase an air charge density of the quantity of air. The generator system may include an exhaust portion to expel exhaust from the engine such that the quantity of air provided by the compressor does not include exhaust expelled by the exhaust portion. The generator system may include an air valve configured to regulate the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine.

A generator enclosure system provides for tool-less removal of protective panels. The panels are configured to lock in place and unlock by a technician using only their hands. Side panels interlock with front and back panels. At least the front panel may be removed by actuating, by hand, a lever on a locking mechanism and lifting the panels up and away from the generator enclosure system.
