Starlight Generator Major Overhaul - Generator AVR


1. Major overhaul of Starlight Generator
a. Measure insulating resistance with 500V Meg-ohm meter. If the reading is less than 2MΩ, the generator should be dried. (Must disconnect AVR with generator during measuring).
b. Replace the grease in bearing housing, and clean the surface of two shield bearing or replace the bearing.
c. Clean the interior of generator by blowing, and take care of the all junctions.
d. Inspect all living parts, and make sure joint nut tight and contact well.


2. Overhaul attention.
a. Take care of the disassemble parts, and avoid to bump each other or missing.
d. Disassemble bearing and bearing cap should be covered by clean paper to prevent dirt, and replace the dirty grease.
e. After the generator reassembled, rotate the rotor slowly, ensure there are not abnormal sound and halt.
f. The bracket screws should be driven crosswise, can't drive the screws one by one.

Paralleling operation.
Sx440 voltage regulator may be supplied for paralleling operation, if necessary, customer must take note of it in order. Consult with the factory for further information relative to parallel operations.

 AVR
1. AVR. wiring can't be connected wrong. The terminal '2' and '3" are connected to the tap "U3" and 'W3" of generator winding. It is used for 200 volt, if used for 400 volt , the AVR. would be damaged.
2. The terminal "1" and "2" of AVR. should be shorted with jumper wire. If the external potentiometer is used for remote adjusting voltage, the potentiometer would be connected to the "6" and "7". Or the AVR. may be damaged without connecting.
3. Boost exciting must use the "12V" battery , and the generator must be stopped. Using "24W" battery or boosting the excitation in rotating, the AVR would be damaged.

4. The generator runs at "50 Hz" or "60Hz", should ensure the wiring right, or maybe affect AVR working.
5. Before shut down the generating set, first turn off the output switch, then speed down the engine.
6. Take care of the contact of the plug and sockets, ensure them close contacting each other.
7. If the generator can't built up, first of all, look for the causes, such as: fuse; wiring; residue voltage, etc. Please don't adjust the potentiometer and boosting excitation before known the causes.
8. If the engine runs at idle speed, please don't adjust the potentiometer and boost excitation.
9. Adjusting the voltage and stability potentiometer, please use small screw-driver and rotate slowly.


Maintenance.
a. Generator should be installed in the dry, clean, ventilating place, and to prevent the direct contact of wind driven dirt, rain, snow and sunlight.
b. Take note of the ventilation and heating of generator at times, and the current and voltage don't exceed the rating data.
c. The generator should not be operated at the place that full of water vapor,dust and flammable gas.
d. In general, maintenance intervals will depend upon operating conditions. Routine overhaul should be made frequently.

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...

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...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
