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.

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...
