Fault of Poor Contact in The Starting Circuit of Diesel Generators

The starting circuit of the diesel generator has poor contact. Although various instruments are normal, the diesel generator cannot start. Here are some examples:

power generation

Fault phenomenon: A Deutz F2L513 air-cooled diesel generator was originally starting normally, but after a system maintenance work, the diesel engine could not start. Pressing the start switch, the starter basically did not start.


Fault diagnosis: It was initially suspected that the battery was out of charge. Due to on-site operations, there was no professional charger available, so power was taken from another device using a grounding method. The power of this device is also a Fl2 port 13 air-cooled diesel engine, which is starting and charging. However, after connecting the wires, the diesel generator still cannot start, and after turning on the start switch, the starter still does not turn. At this point, the operator of the equipment believes that there is a problem with the maintenance personnel's maintenance, which may be due to improper adjustment of a certain position, causing the diesel engine to malfunction and fail to start.


Troubleshooting: In order to find the cause, the maintenance personnel conducted a comprehensive and careful inspection of the diesel generator and did not find any abnormalities. When using a pry bar to move the crankshaft of the diesel engine, it feels flexible and there is no jamming phenomenon. After careful investigation, it was found that the voltage of the voltmeter on the dashboard, whether connected or not, is only 22V, which cannot meet the starting voltage requirements; And the voltage when connected and not connected is the same, indicating that the electrical energy from the other vehicle has not been transmitted after being connected. Therefore, it was decided to connect the grounding wire directly to the connector behind the switch, and when the diesel engine was restarted for power generation, it immediately started successfully.


Fault description: Although the diesel engine and starting system appear to be working properly, starting the diesel engine may also be difficult if there are virtual connections or poor connections in the circuit.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

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...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
