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.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...
