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 (...

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...
