Part 2: Solutions for faults of electrical control system of diesel genset


4.Low oil pressure fault alarm or shutdown
A.Check the oil level;
B.Check oil quality and viscosity;
C.Check the oil temperature;
D.Check whether the oil pressure sensor is damaged;
E.Check whether the oil filter and oil circuit are blocked;
F.Check whether the oil pressure sensor switch alarm is correct.
5.Overspeed fault causes shutdown
A.Check the speed meter to indicate if there is any abnormality;
B.For mechanical speed control mechanisms, check the throttle lever for flexibility and ensure proper adjustment;
C.For the electronic speed control system, check if the throttle lever is flexible and check whether the actuator is operating correctly;
D.Recalibrate and adjust the overspeed protection limit;
E.Check if the speed sensor installation is reasonable;
F.Reset the alarm signal on the control panel after troubleshooting.

6.High voltage alarm
A.Measure the actual value of the unit's output voltage;
B.Confirm that the meter is not biased;
C.If the voltage is actually too high, you can check and re-adjust the AVR(Automatic voltage regulator) according to the steps.;
D.Confirm that the load property is non-capacitive and the power factor is not advanced;
E.Confirm that genset generator speed and frequency is normal;
F.If the real value of the voltage is normal, check whether the circuit part of the voltage display is correct;
G.Check whether the setting limit of the high voltage alarm is correct and reasonable.

7.Low voltage alarm
A.Measure the actual value of the unit's output voltage;
B.Confirm that the meter is not biased;
C.If the voltage is actually low, you can check and re-adjust the AVR according to the steps;
D.Confirm generator set speed and frequency is normal;
E.If voltage value is normal, check whether the circuit part of the voltage display correct;
F.Focus on checking whether the three fuses on the rear wall of the generator terminal box are normal and connected firmly;
G.Confirm that there is no large deviation in the three-phase voltage value;
H.Confirm that there is no phase loss;
I.Confirm that when the alarm occurs, the load changes little;
J.Confirm that the generator set is not overloaded;
K.Check whether the setting limit of the voltage high and low alarm is correct and reasonable.

Components of Cummins PT Fuel System

When it comes to Cummins generator, it is well known that the gensets have good quality, low fuel consumption, low noise, big output power and reliable performance. The reliable stability, economy, power performance, durability and environmental safety is welcomed by customers. In last article, we talk about CCEC Cummins diesel engines operating principles. Well, in this article, you will learn what are the major components of its PT Fuel System. Fuel System The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins Diesels. The identifying letters, “ PT ” are an abbreviation for “ pressure-time ” . The operation of the Cummins PT Fuel System is based on the principle that the volume of liquid flow is proportionate to the fluid pressure, the time allowed to flow and the passage size through which the liquid flows. To apply this simple principle to the Cummins PT Fuel System , it is necessary to provide: 1. A fuel pump. 2. A means of controlling pressure of

Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION of Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450 1.1 - Description The R450 AVR is supplied in a casing designed to be mounted on a panel with dampers. - Operating temperature: - 30°C to + 65°C. - Storage temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. - Shocks on the base: 9 g depending on the 3 axes. - Vibrations: less than 10 Hz, 2 mm half-peak amplitude 10 Hz to 100 Hz: 100 mm/s, above 100 Hz: 8 g. The AVR is IP00, it must be incorporated in an environment which ensures it a IP20 protection. 1.2 - Characteristic The connection is realised by “Faston” connectors and the voltage sensing is single - phase. 2 - POWER SUPPLY Both the SHUNT/AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR. 2.1 - AREP excitation system With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional to the   alternator   main voltage (Shunt characteristic),
