How to Interpret The Protection Level of Generators?

IP21 generator, generally referring to land use; IP26 generator, generally used in ships; IP44 water-cooled generator, generally used in ships. So what is the classification and definition of generator protection level (first digit)?


standby genset


1. No protection or specialized protection.


2. Protecting solids larger than 50mm can prevent solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 50mm from entering the shell. It can prevent a large area of the human body (such as the hand) from accidentally or accidentally touching the charged or moving parts inside the shell, but it cannot prevent conscious access to these parts.


3. Protecting solids larger than 12mm can prevent solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 12mm from entering the shell. It can prevent fingers from touching live or moving parts inside the shell.


4. Protection against solids larger than 2.5mm can prevent solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 2.5mm from entering the shell. It can prevent tools, metal wires, etc. with a thickness or diameter greater than 2.5mm from touching the live or moving parts inside the shell.


5. Protecting solids larger than 1mm can prevent solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 1mm from entering the shell. It can prevent wires or strips with a diameter or thickness greater than 1mm from touching the live or running parts inside the shell.


6. Dust prevention can prevent dust from entering to the extent that it affects the normal operation of the product, completely preventing contact with live or moving parts inside the shell.


7. Dust tightness can completely prevent dust from entering the shell and completely prevent contact with live or moving parts inside the shell.


8. Generator without protection: without specialized protection.


9. Anti dripping: Vertical dripping should not directly enter the interior of the motor.


10. 15 degree angle anti drip: Drips within a 15 degree angle range from the plumb line should not directly enter the interior of the motor.


11. Anti dripping water: Water within a 60 degree angle range from the plumb line should not directly enter the interior of the motor.


12. Splash prevention: Water splashing in any direction should have no harmful effect on the motor.


13. Anti water spraying: Water spraying in any direction should have no harmful effect on the motor, with a standard distance of 1 meter.


14. Anti wave or forced water spraying: Strong waves or water spraying should not have harmful effects on the motor.


15. Immersion: The motor is immersed in water at the specified pressure and time, and its water intake should not have harmful effects.


16. Diving: The motor is immersed in water for a long time under the specified pressure, and its water intake should not have harmful effects. The commonly used protection levels for motors include IP21, IP23, IP44, IP54, IP55, IP56, and IP65.

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...
