How to Prevent Electric Shock from Generator Set


Prevent electric shock from diesel generator

The load connection of this machine requires experienced electrician with certification and must be in consistent with relevant regulations, standard and other specification of electrical equipment. If necessary, ask the agent to send somebody for examining the machine before start it.

It is only applicable when the electric generating set (including pulling electric generating set) is ensured to be connected to the electrical equipment whose specification complies with the local standard.

It is necessary to open the negative connection (-) of battery before connecting or dismounting the load.

Do not connect or dismount load standing in water or on wet ground.

Do not touch the electrification components or power leads by body or metal components without insulation when it is in electric power generation.

The connection box cover shall be reset immediately after finishing the connection or dismount the load. It is forbidden to operate with the cover open.

The load of power supply and electric power system applied for this machine must be compatible with the characteristics of this machine and within the volume of this machine.

Be sure to cut all powers during the maintenance.

Keep all electric installations dry and clean. Any wire insulation found to be cracking, incised, or worn, fade or corroded shall be replaced immediately. Keep the connector post clean and tight.

Ensure that all power joints and dismounted power lines are equipped with appropriate insulation.

Only CO2 and dry-chemical fire extinguisher can be used for relinquishment during fire alarm.

5. Keep the arms stretched and press for 4-5cm(for 1.5-2 hours)for 15 times at a frequency of 80 times every minute.

6. Repeat the above steps (do artificial respiration for two times and press for 15 times) until the ambulance man arrived.

7. If the situation turns improved and the wounded recovered his pulse, continue the artificial respiration and check his pulse every 10 times of artificial respiration

8. When the  wounded recovered  his breath,  put his  body according to  the following described position.

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...
