First Level Maintenance Inspection of Standby Generator


Diesel generator sets can be divided into two types according to the use situation: one is based on mains power, generator set standby power supply equipment and the other is generator-based power supply equipment. To ensure that the genset is in good condition and prolong the service life of the machine, the technical maintenance system of the diesel engine must be implemented. The technical maintenance categories are divided into:

First level maintenance inspection (daily or weekly)

Secondary maintenance inspection (every 250 hours or one month)

Level 3 maintenance inspection (every 1500 hours or half a year)

The standby generator should run regularly for about 10 minutes, so as to evaporate the water in the diesel engine body and achieve moisture and corrosion protection.

First level maintenance inspection

1. Check oil level.

Use a diesel oil dipstick to check the oil level. In order to obtain accurate readings, the oil level should be checked when the oil flow back to the oil pan after 15 minutes of shutdown. The oil level should be matched with the original oil pan, and the oil level should be kept as close as possible to the high "H" mark.

Warning: Never operate a diesel engine when the oil mark is lower than the low mark “L” or higher than the high mark “H” (if necessary, add the same quality and grade of engine oil).

2. Check cooling system

Keep the coolant filled to the working level, check the coolant level every day or every time before turning on, analyze the cause of the coolant consumption, and check the coolant level, only after the cooling system is cooled.

3. Check the connections of the intake pipe

Check the joints of the air intake pipe, whether the clamp is loose, whether the hose is cracked, perforated or worn, whether the hose is broken or other damage, tighten the clamp or replace parts as needed to ensure that the air intake system is well sealed and all air passes through the air filter.

4. Appearance inspection

Check for leaks of external air, coolant or oil. Tighten screw connections, joints, etc. or replace gaskets as needed. Check the oil pipe cover of the oil dipstick to see if it is tight.

5. Check for damage

Check the fuel system, including the incorrect adjustment or injury of the fuel pump, and check for leaks or damage at all connections.

6. Check drive belt

inspect whether the fan, water pump, and charger belt is damaged or slack, and replace the damaged buckle with a new one. And adjust the tightness, if necessary, ask a professional technician to adjust.

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 (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

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...
