Correct Steps to Start Diesel Genset

Learning how to correctly start a diesel generator is not an easy thing. Starting incorrectly, it may have a bad effect on the diesel generator set. It can be said that correct steps are the precondition to guarantee the normal operation of the unit. Then what are the correct steps to start a diesel generator? Through reading this article, you will get the answer.
1. Check whether the water tank is full of water. In winter, check whether the antifreeze is full
2. Check the oil level, fuel level, and radiator water level. If the level is lower than the specified value, it should be added to the normal position.
3. Check whether all the switch position is correct to meet the start requirements.
4. Check whether the diesel genset “Emergency Stop”button on the dashboard is correct.
5. Check whether the outlet switch of the unit is off-position.
6. Check whether the genset preheating is normal. When the indoor temperature is lower than 20 degree Celsius, the electric heater should be opened to preheat the diesel generator set.
7. Make sure there is no oil leakage or water leakage phenomenon. No debris in the genset and exhaust port.
8. Check whether the battery and voltage is normal.
9. Check whether alternator and diesel engine circuit is normal and firm.

10. Check whether the genset controller indicator light is normal.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...
