Low Voltage Diesel Generator - How to Deal With


Low voltage of diesel generator will affect the use of generator set, which is one of the common faults. This article will guide you to learn the factors that affect the voltage of generating set.

1. The unstable speed of the engine causes the unstable voltage of the generator set.

2. If the load on the generator set is too large, the voltage will be unstable.

3. The damage of the voltage regulator components of the generator causes the unit’s voltage instability.

4. The poor circulation of the fuel pipe of the genset causes the unstable speed of the engine, which causes voltage instability.

We recommend you to use the following methods to check and handle the low voltage fault of diesel generator sets.

1. If the contact surface of generator brush is too small and the voltage caused by poor contact is too low, it is necessary to check whether it is caused by the commutator surface, if it is, at low speed, to polish the commutator surface with sand cloth, or to adjust the spring pressure.

 2. When the generator set is used, the voltage is too low. It may also be that the diesel engine speed is too low. In this case, you need to check the diesel engine speed. You only need to adjust the prime mover speed to the rated value.

3. During the process of using diesel generator set, the unit voltage is too low because the resistance of the excitation circuit is too large, and the resistance of the magnetic field rheostat is reduced to increase the excitation current. For semiconductor excitation generator, check if the additional winding connector is broken or connected incorrectly.

4, check whether the generator exciter brush is in the neutral line position. It is recommended to adjust the electric brush to the correct position, or to replace the brush to solve the problem of low voltage.

5. Check if there is a short circuit or ground fault in the stator winding or excitation winding of the generator set, and check the fault and clear faults in time.
6. Some rectifier diodes are broken down. It is necessary to deal with in time. Check and replace the broken diodes.

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 (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins. Its development means the engine is used for prime and standby applications by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users. The 4000 Series is tough and durable, provides consistent performance in the harshest conditions, and is proving to be a constant, reliable electric power source for prime applications all over the world. Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...
