The Reasons of Transformer Tap Changer Failure of Diesel Generator

Transformer is an important part of diesel generator, and also the part most prone to failure. The transformer tap changer fault is the most common fault of the transformer. The customer service personnel of Dingbo Power, the diesel generator manufacturer, will introduce the causes of the transformer tap changer fault in detail.

1. On load tap changer: For transformers with on load tap changer, the oil tank of the tap changer is generally not connected to the transformer oil tank. If there is a serious shortage of oil in the tap changer oil tank, a short circuit fault will occur during the tap changer switching, causing the tap changer to burn out. Therefore, during operation, the oil levels of the two oil tanks should be monitored separately to ensure that they are normal; The malfunction of the tap changer mechanism includes: due to jamming, the tap changer stopped in the process position, causing the tap changer to burn out; The oil tank of the tap changer is not tightly sealed, resulting in water seepage and oil leakage. After years of not conducting oil inspection and testing, the oil is dirty, and the insulation strength is greatly reduced, leading to faults; The adjustment of the branch switch switching mechanism is not good, causing the contact to burn out, and in severe cases, partial melting, leading to arcing and causing faults.


2. Off load tap changer: Due to prolonged contact with pressure, insufficient spring pressure and uneven roller pressure may occur, resulting in a decrease in the effective contact area of the tap changer's connecting part, as well as silver plating and detachment at the connecting part, causing the tap changer to heat up and damage during operation; Poor contact of the tap changer, poor connection and welding of the outgoing wires, and inability to withstand the impact of short-circuit current, resulting in the tap changer being burned out by short-circuit current and causing malfunction; Due to poor management, the tap changer was mishandled or the work was careless, resulting in tap changer accidents.

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
