Method for Replacing Carbon Brushes of Diesel Generators

Can you explain the precautions and methods for replacing diesel generator carbon brushes that heat up and turn red? Carbon brushes are usually used in DC motors to cooperate with inverters to achieve commutation, convert DC power into AC power, and drive the DC motor to rotate. Nowadays, brushless DC motors are increasingly widely used, using thyristor circuits instead of brushes to achieve commutation, thus achieving high speed, large capacity, and low noise. There are also some AC motors that use carbon brushes and conductive rings, for example, if there are windings on the rotor, how can current be supplied to the rotating rotor?

Carbon brushes can be achieved through conductive rings. If the operator's generator carbon brush is severely ignited, broken, or the brush braid turns red due to heating, it may cause ring fire if not immediately addressed. The operator should immediately replace it. Let's take a look at the precautions and methods for replacement. Replacement must be carried out by two people and the main service personnel. When replacing, the staff should wear work clothes, fasten the cuffs, and stand on an insulating mat. It is prohibited to wear short sleeved shirts or roll up sleeves, and female workers should tuck their long hair into their safety helmets.


Prohibit both hands from touching two poles or one pole and the grounding part, and prohibit two people from working at the same time. Lift the pre replaced carbon brush from the brush holder and hold it in your hand, then loosen the braided screw and remove the carbon brush. Hold the carbon brush on the ground, tighten the braided screw, and then use a constant pressure device to press the carbon brush into the brush holder. Usually, each brush holder can only replace 1-2 carbon brushes at the same time. The replaced carbon brush must be polished in advance, and the new and old carbon brush models must be the same. After replacement, detailed records should be kept.

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...
