  In today's world, diesel generators have become a popular solution for backup power supply. To ensure the normal working of diesel generator sets , reduce the unnecessary maintenance and increase the serviceability rate, it's necessary to conduct inspection on   generator sets . Here are five inspection standards on construction sites:   We have to make sure the output voltage of diesel generators used on construction sites meets the voltage level requirements of the external power supply, under the condition that the whole thing works. This measure not only ensures the normal operation of equipment on construction sites, but also effectively reduces the risk of electrical equipment damage and improves the efficiency of construction on site. Meanwhile, reasonably adjusting the output voltage of the generator is also beneficial for saving energy resources, reducing its energy consumption, and meeting the requirements of sustainable development. Therefore, in construction sites

If you are hitting the road in your recreational vehicle (RV), it is necessary to have a reliable generator that can keep up with your power demands. But how to find a reliable power source to keep things in your RV running smoothly? At DingBo Power, we understand the importance of getting the most value for your money. This article covers exactly what Cummins generators for RV offer and you will be aware of both the functionality and the benefits.   What is An RV Generator? It is a machine uses fuel to create enough power to run major appliances within your RV. It also charges your RV’s battery systems. Generators for RV produce electricity through an internal combustion engine and alternator. RV Generators can run on fuel like diesel, gasoline or propane. Some generators can use two separate types of fuel, which is helpful if you run out of one type and need a backup.   How to Choose the Right RV Generator for Your Needs?   What are the factors you need to consider when looking for t

Recently Dingbo Power received a few emails from users who encountered generator under voltage shutdown problems. According to their descriptions, the faults usually occurred after they started the generators for less than one minute. In fact, there are many possible causes of generator under voltage problem. This article covers some common causes and the solutions.   1.Low generator speed   In the  generator set , the governor is an equipment associated with prime mover. The governor varies the amount of fuel delivered to the engine and adjusts the speed of prime mover. The voltage and frequency of a generator is largely determined by the speed they are running. When an undervoltage problem arises, you need to verify whether your generator set actually  maintains its normal rated speed under all load conditions. Check the governor immediately and make sure it is in good condition and works properly. If the generator is running at a very low speed, try adjusting the prime mover speed o

Compared to other fuel types, diesel generators are more efficient and require less upkeep, that's why they are gaining popularity. With rising fuel costs and other expenses mounting, more people are concerned about the the cost of running diesel generator sets. In this article, we cover 6 effective ways to help reduce fuel consumption of diesel generators.   1.Remove carbon deposits timely   Your diesel generator will create high temperature after running for some time, which causes carbon polymer deposits to be attached to various parts such as value, value seat, injectors, piston top and so on.The carbon deposits not only cause excessive fuel consumption, but may also lead to a series of potential safety hazards. Therefore, periodic clean is crucial. Experts suggest that it's better to clean generators every 4-6 months to ensure they work efficiently and stably. Timely cleaning can reduce the fuel consumption, extend service life of the generator and ensure its proper operat

In this article, you will learn how to correctly start  Cummins  engine under cold weather condition. No matter it is engine warm-up, engine speed, oil temperature, water temperature or oil pressure, you should be careful while starting the engine. Engine Warm-Up When the engine is started, it takes a while to get the lubricating oil film re-established between shafts and bearings and between pistons and liners. The most favorable clearances between moving parts are obtained only after all engine parts reach normal operating temperature. Avoid seizing pistons in liners and running dry shafts in dry bearings by bring the engine up to operating speed gradually as it warms up.   Engine Speeds All Cummins engines are equipped with governors to prevent speeds in excess of the minimum or predetermined lower speed rating.  The governor has two functions: First, it provides the fuel needed for idling when the throttle is in the idle position. Second, it overrides the throttle and shuts off the

It is very important to know how to correctly start Cummins engine under cold weather. In this way, it not only helps prolong the engine’s service life and also keeps the generator set run smoothly. Take a few time to read this article, and then you will learn a lot. Cold Weather Starting  ( Note:   A water jacket heater is recommended for stand-by  generator set  applications installed in a cold climate.)   Preheater The glow plug system supplies heat to the cylinders so that compression temperatures are sufficient to ignite the fuel. To aid in starting the genset engine when the temperature is 50 °F[10.0°C] or below, an intake air preheater is available. Preheater equipment consists of a hand-priming pump to pump fuel into the intake manifold, and a switch to turn on the glow plug which is electrically heated by the battery. Fuel burns in the intake manifold and heats the intake air. Warning :   Do not use vapor in conjunction with the preheater. To do so could result in a fire. Step
