Which items need to be verified before operating a diesel generator set

Today, the technicians of Beidou Power Generator Company will summarize for everyone the three aspects that the operators must confirm before the operation of the newly taken over diesel generator set. The specific details are as follows:

1.14

Verify which self-protection functions the diesel generator set is equipped with.

 

2. Verify the true useful power of the diesel generator set, and then determine the economic power and reserve power. The method for determining the true useful power of a diesel generator set is as follows: multiply the 12-hour rated power of the diesel engine by 0.9 to obtain a figure (kw). If the rated power of the generator is less than or equal to this figure, then the rated power of the generator is determined as the true useful power of the unit. If the rated power of the generator is greater than this figure, then this figure must be used as the true useful power of the unit.

 

3. Verify whether the power wiring of the diesel generator set is qualified, whether the protective grounding is reliable, and whether the three-phase load is basically balanced.

 

After verifying the above three points, the operators can have a clear understanding and carry out reasonable operations during the subsequent operation of the diesel generator set to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the generator set. In case of emergencies, they can also take timely countermeasures based on the actual situation of the generator set.
