General Information about Diesel Generator Operation



4.14.2 HaulRemember not to let the generator weight similar or exceeding the capacity of the trailer truck when moving the generator, otherwise, it will influence the flexibility and brake capability of the trailer truck.

Generator hauling must comply with all specifications, standards, other rules and traffic regulations, including rules of the device as well as maximum and minimum speed limits.
If there’s braking system, make sure it is in good condition.
It is allowed to ride on the diesel generator, or stand and ride on the towbar, or stand or walk between the trailer truck and generator. The inclination shall not exceed 150  (27%). Avoid hollow, rocks, barriers, and soft or weak ground. Be sure about the site-clearing behind during backing-up.

4.14.3 ParkStop the car on dry place where can support the weight of machine and trailer truck. When it is necessary to park on the slope, transverse the truck to avoid downward sliding. Do not park on the slope with tilt angle exceeding 15(27%). Tighten the hand-made anchor, withstand the wheels on two sides with wood, put down the former jack and trundle, unfasten the iron chain, wires, connection device and drive away the trailer truck.

4.15 Storage
Long-term storage will cause decisive impact to the engine and alternator and correct storage preparation can minimize the impact.

4.15.1 Diesel storageDiesel storage should be implemented according to the procedures, including diesel cleaning and new lubricant changing, and fuel storage. For more information on correct procedure, please refer to the “Diesel Manual”.

4.15.2 Alternator storage Humidity will enter into the alternator when it is inactivate. The generator must be stored in dry place for condensation reduction maximumly. If possible, apply heater to keep the coil dry and clean. When the generator is going to move from storage place to installation place, check the insulation degree. Refer to the above Chapter 4.12 for detail method. If the degree is lower than that before storage, the coil needs to be dry process. For detail procedures, please refer to “Alternator Manual”. If the megameter read is lower than 1MΩ after dry process, insulation is damaged and requires maintenance for reuse.

4.15.3 Battery storageFor batter storage, charge the battery every 12 weeks (8weeks in tropical zones) and each time shall be charged full. 
Generator Set Operation

5.1 General description

This electric generator set is equipped with an advanced electronic controller which may be one of the following types: HGM6100, HGM6300, HGM6400, etc. Identify what type of system your machine applied. These systems allow operators to manual or automatic control to the generator. Equipped with protection circuit, they will send alarms or stop operation for faults. The following procedures offer a detail description on the preparation before start, initial start and stop after installation, and normal start and stop.

5.2 Examination before start (appropriate for all control system)

1. Following examination must be conducted before start the machine:
Since the electric generating set equipped with automatic control system can start automatically without alarm previously, control  panel switch must be closed before the examination.
1.Turn off the power of control switch/emergency switch
Do not open the radiator cover when the cooling liquid is still hot. Do not input a great quantity of cooling liquid into hot cooling system as it will cause serious damage.

2.Check the level of diesel engine oil and cooling liquid and fill it when it is insufficient.
During fueling to the fuel tank, it is forbidden to smoke or use naked flame near the tank. Check whether the fuel is clean.

3.Check fuel level and add when necessary.

4.Check the belt tightness of diesel cooling fan and charger, and tighten it if loosed. 

5.Check all soft pipes for loosing, breakage and wearing on the joint, and tighten or change it if necessary.

6.Check corrosion on battery electrode and clean it if corrodes.

7.Check battery electrolyte level and add some distilled water when necessary. If the battery is new and haven’t been charged, add the pre-mixed battery electrolyte.

8.Check whether there’s great quantity of dust and dirty on control panel and generator, which will cause electric shock or cooling fault.

9.Check the block indicator of the air filter and change a new filter if blocked.

10.Clean the surrounding site of the generator and move the unsafe materials away to avoid affecting operation or risk occurrence and make sure the smooth of cooling ventilation network.

11.Observe and check for leakage on fuel system, cooling system and oil seal of lubricating oil of generator set.

12.If there’s drain valve on smoke evacuation system, discharge the accumulated water regularly.

13.Make sure the output circuit switch of the alternator is off (handle downward).

14.Check the lubricating oil level and add if necessary.

Yuchai Is Super Confident in Its Innovation

Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country. In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion. Over the years, as China ’ s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry. Innovation-Driven In 2013, seven world-class diesel-engine products for high-s...

How to Read Alarm Codes From SmartGen Genset Controller

Auto Module Control Panel is the configuration for nobody on duty controlling generators. This kind of panel adopts auto module control system, with large LCD display to show the menu, such as SmartGen controller. Features:   1. SmartGen 6110 can receive remote output signal from ATS and realize auto start and stop of generators. 2. SmartGen 6310 can realize all functions of 6110, add RS232 interface which can communicate with PC to realize remote operation.  3. SmartGen 6410 Auto Mains Failure controller, can realize all functions of 6310, furthermore can detect  ATS and control directly. The alarm of diesel generator controller is not the amount of stop alarm, which does not affect the normal operation of diesel generator. When the alarm occurs, the unit will not stop, and when the alarm conditions do not exist, the amount of warning will automatically disappear.  Today Starlight manufacturer mainly shares alarm codes for diesel generato...

How to know and solve faults of genset voltage transformer

 Today Starlight Power shares the common faults for voltage transformer of diesel generator set. Hope it is helpful to you. 1) The insulation between iron chips is damaged. Fault phenomenon: temperature rises during operation. The possible causes of the failure are: poor insulation between iron chips, bad use of environmental conditions or long-term operation under high temperature, which promote the insulation aging between iron chips. (2) Poor contact between grounding plate and iron core. Fault phenomenon: there is discharge sound between iron core and oil tank during operation. Cause of failure: the grounding plate is not inserted tightly, and the mounting screw is not tightened. (3) The iron core is loose. Fault phenomenon: abnormal vibration or noise during operation. The cause of failure: the iron core clamp is not clamped, and the iron chip is loose. (4) Turn to turn short circuit of winding. Fault phenomenon: during operation, the temperature rises, there is ...
