Incorrect Starting Method of The Generator Set

If the generator set does not start according to the starting requirements, it may accelerate the depreciation of the generator set and easily cause unnecessary losses and waste. In order to ensure the normal operation of the generator set, Starlight power generation equipment reminds users to follow the rules when starting the genset, and to avoid the following bad starting methods.


genset maintenance


1. Starting during a long period of time with a motor, the battery will be discharged during a long period of time with high current, which can easily cause bending of the electrode plate. Moderate discharge can easily cause vulcanization of the electrode plate, resulting in the battery being scrapped.


2. Dry start: After the generator set is started, it can participate in cooling water, which can easily cause the body parts to heat up too quickly and accelerate wear. Adding cold water to a hot car can also cause the body to explode.


3. Enhanced electric power starting: By connecting two batteries in parallel to supply power to the motor, the power is doubled, resulting in significant heat generation and the formation of starting switches, motor contacts, starting wires, rotors, stator wires, and traction starting: Cold vehicle operation can easily exacerbate the wear and tear of transmission mechanisms and walking forms, as well as mechanical chaos.


4. Starting with increased current: To improve the RPM of the motor, blindly turn on two batteries to supply power to the motor. Not only is it easy to cause motor overspeed, generate centrifugal force, and accelerate the bearing, rotor, and stator coils, but also due to the different technical conditions of the two batteries, charging a good battery to a bad battery can easily damage the good battery.


5. Shutdown start: When shutdown, the air filter needs to be removed to allow dust to directly enter the cylinder. Prone to detonation, forming the body; Easy to strengthen carbon deposition in Pingyuan power generation units to accelerate the wear of cylinders, pistons, and piston rings, resulting in a decrease in current.


6. Generator set maintenance and sloping start: Due to the generator not having agreed preheating, the lubricating oil viscosity is high, smooth and not good, which can easily exacerbate locomotive wear and brake failure, leading to car accidents.


7. Injecting Cummins into the air inlet pipe for starting: this method is extremely extreme. After the diesel engine catches fire, it is easy to produce knock, which will increase the impact load of moving parts and damage the whole machine; It is also easy to cause speeding, carbon deposition, and instantaneous overheating of the diesel engine.


8. Maximum throttle start: Placing the throttle at maximum start can easily lead to excessive fuel injection into the cylinder, rich mixed gas, and less easy starting; After starting, the speed increases sharply, which can easily cause damage and wear to the components.

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 (

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

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
