Safe Caution of Starlight TFW Series Alternators


Safe Caution

Please remember safety first. If you are not sure of the instructions or procedures, seek qualified help before continuing.

This service manual emphasizes the safety precautions necessary during the installation, operation, and maintenance of your TFW generator.

1. The lifting eyes on the generator are designed to support the generator only. Do not lift a complete generator set (engine) by means of lifting eyes on the generator. Personal injury or damage to the equipment may result.

2. Do not apply any force to the generator fan. Never "BAR OVER" the engine-generator set by using the fan. Failure to comply with these safety procedures could result in severe injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.

3. Before any service work is done, disconnect all power sources, and lock out all controls to prevent an unexpected start-up of the generator set.

4. Proper grounding in compliance with local and national electrical codes must be provided.

5. Whenever the generator is running, always assume and proceed as if voltage is present. Residual voltage is present at the generator terminals, and at the regulator panel connections, even with the regulator fuse removed. Caution must be exercised, or serious personal injury or death can result.

6. Whenever solvent, cleaners, or flammable liquids are present, adequate ventilation must be available to avoid fire, explosion, and health hazards. Always avoid breathing vapors and suitable personal protective equipment to prevent personal injuries (head, eyes, face, feet, hand, respirator, etc.)

7. Special caution must be taken during trouble shooting since protective covers and safety devices may be removed or disabled to gain access and make tests.


II. Descriptions


TFW series three phase AC synchronous brushless generator is a new generation brushless generator, which based on the MAGNA PLUS generator of Marathon electric co. USA.

TFW generator may be combined with diesel engine (internal-combustion engine) to make fixed or movable electrical power. It is suited for commercial buildings, hospitals, factories, farms, fields, etc. as power and lighting. The generating set may be used for the prime power or stand by.

TFW series alternators are of unique design, advanced construction, excellent performances, reliable operation, easy use, small volume and light weight.

Starlight TFW Series Generator


Features:

1. TFW series generator are manufactured in accordance with NEMA ODP type. It consists of main generator, AC brushless exciter, rotating rectifiers, AVR, conduit box, etc.

2. Class H or Class F insulation system.

3. The frame is made by steel plate. The design of stator lamination is unique. If necessary, 12 1eadwires may be supplied.

4. Main rotor apply the single piece 4-pole salient lamination, coupled with die cast or welding damping winding, field winding to form a unique rotor construction. The field winding is layer wound with thermo setting epoxy for high mechanical and electrical integrity.


Performance:


1. TFW series generator may be operated continuously at rated load under following Conditions:

a. Ambient. Air temperature 40°C,well ventilation, marine use, 45°C

b. Elevation.1,000 m over sea level

2. Electrical performances.

a. Steady voltage regulation1.0%

b.Transient voltage regulation+20%, -15%

c. Adjustable voltage range 95-105%Un

d. Waveform distortion at no-load, 5%(line voltage)


UP. Storage.


In the event that the generator is not to be installed on its prime mover immediately, it is recommended that the unit be stored in a cleaned, dry area which is not subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity.

In the event of long term storage, the generator should be tested cleaned and dried as required, before being put into service. See the maintenance section of this manual for further information.

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 (...

Factors to Consider When Choosing Diesel Generators for Data Centers

As the core facilities for data storage, processing and transmission, data centers’ stability and reliability are crucial in today's information age. Once the power supply interruption occurs, it can lead to data loss, business interruption, and even more serious consequences. Therefore, investing in one or more high-quality   diesel generators   for a data center is a key measure to ensure the continuity of power supply. Today, Dingbo Power will share several key factors that need to consider when purchasing data center diesel generator sets. Power requirements First of all, assess the power requirements of the data center based on the actual load conditions. This includes calculating the total power requirements of all critical equipment, as well as considering a possible increase in future needs. When selecting a diesel generator for the data center, make sure that the unit’s rated power can meet or exceed the peak load demand of the data center to ensure stable power suppl...
