How to prevent emergency generator from burning out

Today Starlight Power introduces how to prevent emergency diesel generator set from burning out. Hope it is helpful for everybody.


1.Keep diesel generator set clean.

In the operation of diesel generator set, if dust, water stains and other debris enter into the diesel generator set, it will form short-circuit medium, which can damage the insulation layer of conductor and form turn to turn short circuit. With the increase of current and temperature, the diesel generator set will be burned. Therefore, we should prevent dust, water stains and other debris from entering into diesel generator set. At the same time, we should also often clean the exterior of diesel generator set. Do not let dust and other sundries exist in the cooling rib of diesel generator set, so as to ensure the heat dissipation of diesel generator set.


2.Frequent inspection, listen carefully, when smell something, immediately shut down.

Check the diesel generator set for vibration, noise and abnormal smell. In the operation of diesel generator set, especially high-power diesel generator set, it is necessary to check whether the anchor bolt, end cover and bearing cover of diesel generator set are loose, and whether the grounding device is reliable. If it is found that the vibration of the diesel generator set increases, the noise increases and the odor appears, it is necessary to stop the diesel generator set as soon as possible, find out the causes and eliminate the shortcomings.

3.The working current of diesel generator set can not over high.

The overload operation of diesel generator set will be caused by excessive load, too low voltage or mechanical blockage caused by action. Therefore, in the operation of diesel generator set, attention should be paid to check whether the operation of transmission device is flexible and reliable; whether the concentricity of coupling can be standardized; the flexibility of gear transmission, etc. if there is any jamming phenomenon, it is necessary to stop the machine and eliminate the defects before operation.


4.Timely check and repair the control equipment of diesel generator set to ensure its normal operation.

The technical condition of control equipment of diesel generator set plays a decisive role in the normal starting of diesel generator set. Therefore, the control equipment of diesel generator set should be set in the direction of monotonous, ventilation and easy operation, and be punctual to remove dust. Often check whether the contactor contact, coil iron core, wiring screws, etc. are reliable, whether the mechanical parts can move flexibly, so that they can adhere to the excellent technical conditions, and then ensure the smooth operation of the diesel generator set without being burned.


5.Often check whether the temperature and temperature rise of diesel generator set are too high.

It is necessary to check whether the bearing of diesel generator set can overheat and lack of oil. If the temperature rise near the bearing is too high, it should be stopped immediately for inspection. Whether there are cracks, scratches or defects on the surface of the rolling body and raceway of the bearing, whether the bearing can shake too much in the open space, whether the inner ring changes on the shaft, etc. It is necessary to renew the bearing.


6.Often check whether the three-phase current of diesel generator set can be balanced.

For three-phase asynchronous diesel generator set, the difference between any one phase current of three-phase current and the average value of other two-phase current is not allowed to exceed 10%, so as to ensure the safe operation of diesel generator set. If it is exceeded, it is indicated that the diesel generator set has defects, which should be checked and removed before operation.

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...
