The Output Voltage of The Diesel Generator is Lower Than The Rated Value

With the advancement of technology, diesel generator sets have gradually become popular as emergency and backup power sources for daily life and enterprise production. Small gasoline generator sets have also begun to enter the daily lives of residents. Although the number of users is increasing, as mechanical equipment, their internal structure is still quite complex. Today, Guangxi Dingbo Power Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a diesel generator manufacturer, will introduce the reasons and treatment methods for the over - voltage or under - voltage of fully automatic diesel generators:

After the generator set is started and has reached the rated speed, and the field rheostat has been adjusted to the maximum position of "voltage rise", when the unit is running under no - load, if the voltage cannot be set to 1.05 times the rated voltage, it indicates that the output voltage of the generator is too low, which will cause difficulties in parallel operation, grid connection or power transfer.

 

Reasons for low output voltage of the generator:

(1) Inter - turn short - circuit in the rotor winding of the main generator.

(2) Inter - turn short - circuit in the rotor winding of the excitation generator.

(3) Inter - turn short - circuit in the stator winding of the excitation generator.

(4) Damage to the rotating rectifier module and varistor.

(5) Poor contact of the plug - ins of the excitation system components.

(6) The speed of the engine (usually a diesel or gasoline engine) is too low, resulting in too low induced electromotive force in the stator winding of the generator.

 

When the generator set is started and running normally at the rated speed, and the field rheostat has been adjusted to the minimum position of "voltage reduction", when the unit is running under no - load, if the voltage is still set to exceed 1.05 times the rated voltage, it indicates that the output voltage of the generator is too high. The rated voltage of a conventional generator set is 400V, and if it exceeds 420V, it means the generator voltage is high.

 

Reasons for the generator output voltage exceeding the rated value:

(1) The AVR is not working properly, and there is no shunt of the excitation current.

(2) The external voltage potentiometer (located on the power distribution cabinet) is broken.

(3) The current - limiting resistor R1 and its wiring.

(4) The magnetization switch is in the closed position, causing superposition with the self - magnetization voltage and exceeding the voltage regulation range of the AVR.

(5) The US setting of the AVR is improper and needs to be readjusted.

 

The voltage drops after the generator is loaded:

(1) The plug - ins of the excitation system are plugged in incorrectly.

(2) The AVR is not working properly.

 

Reasons for the diesel generator not generating electricity or the output voltage being lower than 100V:

(1) Damage to the stator winding of the main generator.

(2) Open - circuit in the rotor excitation winding of the main generator.

(3) Open - circuit in the stator winding of the excitation generator.

(4) Fault in the excitation system.

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 (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins.

Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

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...
