Top 10 Basic Knowledge of Diesel Generator

For modern communication equipment, it is necessary to ensure both the normal operation of the equipment and the normal operation of its operating environment. Under normal circumstances, the AC power required for the operation of these devices is mainly provided by the power department. However, when the power department conducts normal maintenance or power outages occur due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, the property owners must rely on their own standby diesel generator sets for power supply to ensure the normal operation of communication equipment. Many people may still be quite unfamiliar with mechanical equipment such as diesel generator sets. Although they are closely related to people's lives, they are not easily accessible. Today, Guangxi Dingbo Power, a diesel generator brand manufacturer, will popularize 10 basic common sense about diesel generator sets for everyone.

1.Why do we require customers to install the exhaust pipe of the diesel generator set with a downward slope of 5 - 10 degrees?

Mainly to prevent rainwater from entering the exhaust pipe, which could lead to major accidents.

2.Why is the standard outlet voltage of the generator 400V instead of 380V?

Because there is a voltage drop loss in the line after the power outlet.

3.Why do new machines need to have their engine oil and oil filters replaced after being used for a period of time?

During the running-in period of a new machine, impurities will inevitably enter the oil pan, causing physical or chemical changes to the engine oil and oil filter.

4.What are the six basic systems included in a diesel generator set?

(1) Engine oil lubrication system; (2) Starting system; (3) Exhaust system; (4) Cooling and heat dissipation system; (5) Control and protection system; (6) Fuel system

5.What is the function of the manual oil pump and exhaust bolt usually installed on a diesel engine?

They are used to remove air from the fuel pipe before starting the engine.

6.How is the automation level of diesel generator sets classified?

Manual, self-starting, self-starting with automatic mains transfer switchgear, long-distance three remote controls (remote control, remote measurement, remote monitoring)

7.Why do we recommend that customers use the engine oil recommended by professional companies during the sales process?

Engine oil is the blood of the engine. Using professional engine oil can lubricate and dissipate heat for key components such as the bearing bushes and gears of diesel generators, reducing wear and extending the service life. If inferior engine oil is used, it can lead to serious accidents such as bearing bushes seizing, gears breaking teeth, and crankshaft deformation and fracture, and may even result in the complete scrapping of the engine.

8.A generator set has stable voltage and frequency after being loaded, but the current is unstable. Where is the problem?

The problem should lie in the unstable load of the customer. There is no problem with the quality of the generator.

9.When installing the engine oil filter, diesel filter, and oil-water separator of a diesel generator set, it is not advisable to use tools to screw these three filters too tightly. Just screw them by hand until there is no oil leakage. Why?

Because if they are screwed too tightly, under the action of oil soaking and the temperature rise of the machine body, the sealing ring will expand thermally, generating great stress. This can cause damage to the filter housing or the separator housing itself. More seriously, it can lead to damage to the machine body nuts, making them irreparable.

10.Different brands of diesel generator sets share a general formula for calculating current:

I = P/(√3 Ucos φ) (Current = Power (watts) / (√3 * 400 (volts) * 0.8)). The simplified formula is: I (A) = Rated power of the unit (KW) * 1.8

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.
