The battery is the main power source in a diesel generator set. A fully charged and regularly recharged battery will ensure that the diesel generator set can start smoothly at any time during the year. So, where is the charging coming from? In other words, what charges the battery of the diesel generator set?
From the generator set to the battery.
During the operation of the diesel generator set, the generator assembly generates a charging voltage, which is the main source for charging the battery pack. The charging process of the engine battery should be carried out in an environment that does not interfere with the environment, and the possibility of electrolyte overflow in the tank should be eliminated.
What kind of charging should be done from the generator set to the battery?
To ensure the operation of the generator set, how much should the generator set charge the battery? People think that a generator assembly with a charging current of at least 10% of the capacity of the drive itself is sufficient to replenish the energy cost of the battery. In other words, for a 70-ampere-hour mechanical equipment, the generator system must emit at least 7 amperes of charging current, which is the normal battery charging for a conventional motor.
If a larger energy storage unit is used, the current value generated by the automatic converter during operation may be less than the energy recovery consumption. This may cause battery discharge and engine start-up problems in the future. Besides, it should also be remembered that the load of all electrical appliances integrated in the machine – the power source also has the obligation to deal with it.
