Diesel Generator Tech

Generators, as commonly used backup power sources, play an important role in our lives. However, many users encounter various fault problems when using small generators. For example, what should they do if a small generator fails to generate electricity and how to repair it? Therefore, we need to first understand the reasons for non - power generation and the inspection methods to solve the problems more efficiently and quickly. Inspection methods for a small generator that starts but fails to generate electricity 1.Measure whether there is actually electricity. Replace the generator's voltmeter. 2.Switch it to automatic or manual mode. 3.Check and correct according to the wiring diagram. 4.You can charge the magnetism by pressing the charging button on the control panel, or use a 12V battery to charge the excitation winding. Connect the positive pole to F1 and the negative pole to F2. If the voltage still cannot be established, reverse the positive and negative poles of the b...

With the improvement of social productivity and rapid economic growth, the demand for electricity is also increasing rapidly. Containerized diesel generator sets have emerged in recent years as a type of mobile power supply device, offering advantages such as easy mobility, good resistance to rain and dust, and relatively low noise. Below, we will explore several key factors to consider when designing a containerized diesel generator. Compared to indoor-installed diesel generator sets, containerized generator sets have clear advantages in terms of project timelines: the approval process is relatively simplified, installation and commissioning cycles are shorter, and the reduced delivery time means faster capital recovery. The advantages of indoor installation include easier transportation of the unit, more space for maintenance, and a relatively smaller overall impact on the environment. Regarding the key factors to consider when designing containerized generators in China today, we ...

The energy consumption of data centers originates from IT equipment, lighting, cooling systems, and power distribution systems. Power supply reliability is critical for data centers. Diesel generator sets, as essential backup power equipment, can take over power supply during grid power failures, thereby preventing significant losses caused by server downtime or data loss. Below is an overview of diesel generator selection in the data center industry. Generator power ratings selection As key standards for diesel generator sets, ISO 8528-1 and GB/T 2820-1 define four types of generator power ratings: Continuous Operating Power (COP) Prime Rated Power (PRP) Limited-Time Prime (LTP) Emergency Standby Rating (ESP) The generator power rating selected should be based on actual operating conditions. Choosing the right generator significantly impacts both the investment and power supply reliability of a data center. Different clients may select generator power ratings flexibly based on ...

An engine-driven welding generator, also known as a welder generator, is a mobile integrated device combining a generator set and a welding machine. Powered by a gasoline or diesel engine, it is primarily used in scenarios without access to an external power grid, such as municipal engineering, field pipeline construction, power emergency repairs, and mining/industrial construction.   This equipment utilizes high-frequency inverter technology to share power generation and welding functions, significantly reducing size and improving efficiency. It features stable welding current and strong penetration. Its auxiliary power output can support electrical demands like lighting under 5kW.   Gasoline welding generators emphasize portability for short-duration tasks, while diesel welding generators are suited for prolonged continuous operation. Some models support dual-operator welding or gas-shielded welding functions, are compatible with electrodes from ...

This article continues to introduce the calculation method of impulse current for parallel operation of diesel generators. The expression of the transient inrush current during the no - load connection of a doubly - fed induction generator is derived. The influence of the voltage amplitude difference and the phase difference on the inrush current is analyzed, and corresponding measures to suppress the inrush current are proposed. When a three - phase synchronous generator operates symmetrically, the effect of a single - phase can be equivalently considered. Through the finite - element modeling of a single - phase generator, it is verified that the frequency difference has little influence on the inrush current. The closing operation for paralleling does not select the moment when the frequency between the generator and the system is the same. A slight frequency difference makes it easier for the main generator to pull the generator to be paralleled into synchronization. Therefore, the...

 In today's electrified era, power generation equipment is widely used. The fluctuation of the load leads to changes in the number of operating generators in the power system. The parallel operation of diesel generators (including grid - connected operation of generators) is a frequent and important operation. The parallel operation of generators has numerous application fields, such as ships, mines, and power plants, and plays a significant supplementary role in the national production and people's lives. As the single - unit capacity of synchronous generators continues to increase, when the two - phase circuits are connected at the moment of paralleling, appropriate paralleling conditions can enable a smooth transition from the original two stable operating states to one stable operating state. Improper operation will generate a harmful inrush current, which may cause electrical damage to the windings of the generator set and even produce a large electromagnetic torque, resu...
