3 Major Usage Instructions for VOLVO Diesel Generator Sets

The Dingbo series Volvo VOLVO diesel generator set can output its rated power, with a rated voltage of 400 volts and a rated frequency of 50 (60) hertz of alternating current. It is used in factories, mines, construction sites, rural areas, and small towns as fixed or mobile power stations for power and lighting purposes.

1. Main performance of Volvo diesel generator sets

(1) The Volvo diesel generator set has a static voltage adjustment rate of ≤ 5% under three-phase symmetrical load at 0-100% rated power and power factor COS=0.8-1. It can be adjusted within the range of 95% -105% rated voltage when unloaded.

(2) When the Volvo diesel generator set operates under three-phase symmetrical load conditions, if each current does not exceed the rated value and the difference in three-phase current does not exceed 20%, the set can operate for a long time.

(3) When the output of a Volvo diesel generator set undergoes a sudden or gradual change from 0 to 100% rated power under three-phase symmetrical loads, the voltage stability time shall not exceed 3 seconds.

2. Introduction to the structure of Volvo diesel generator sets

The Volvo diesel generator sets are all sliding type, without an outer cover structure, composed of a diesel engine, generator, control screen, coupling, and chassis.

Except for the control screen, all other components are installed on the same chassis welded with steel and steel plates, making it easy to move and install.

An elastic steel plate coupling is used between the diesel engine and the generator to ensure that the unit has a buffering and shock-absorbing effect when subjected to sudden load changes and impacts.

The VOLVO diesel engines used in Volvo diesel generator sets are mainly 5L, 7L, 9L, 12L, and 16L diesel engines. The main structure can be found in the corresponding user manual.

The main generators used in Volvo diesel generator sets are TFW series and MP series brushless three-phase AC synchronous generators.

Several types of generators have reliable operating quality and excellent dynamic performance.

The control screen is independent or integrated, welded from steel plates and angle steel. There are front and rear doors for easy inspection and maintenance, and various measuring instruments, conversion switches, voltage regulators, signal lights, and buttons are installed on the front door of the control screen. The screen is equipped with automatic air circuit breakers, instrument transformers, etc.

For units with parallel requirements, various devices required for parallel operation are also installed inside the screen.

3. Environmental requirements for Volvo diesel generator sets

The direction of the Volvo diesel generating set is clockwise when viewed from the end of the radiator.

(1) The rated power of Volvo diesel generator set refers to the 12 hour continuous operation rate at atmospheric pressure of 100kPa, room temperature of 20 ℃, and relative temperature of 60%. (Allowing 10% overload for 1 hour of operation)

(2) When the Volvo diesel generator set is continuously used for more than 12 hours, its output power is converted to 90% of the rated power.

(3) When Volvo diesel generator sets are used at different atmospheric pressures, ambient temperatures, and relative temperatures, the output power should be corrected according to regulations.

Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.

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 Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
