What is Protection Grade of Diesel Generator

When you choose a diesel generator, its protection grade also is an important factor that you should consider.

What is protection grade?
Protection grade also called ingress protection( IP), this system is written by IEC ( international electrotechnical commission), indicating the level of dust-proof and moisture-proof of electrical equipment. Protection grade consists of two number, the bigger the number is, the higher the level of protection.



Indicating methods:
The protection grade usually is indicated by IP and two number, the number indicates the protection level.
The first number indicates the range of dust resistance of the equipment, or the extent to which people are protected from hazards in a sealed environment. Represents a level to prevent solid foreign bodies from entering, the highest level is 6.
The second number indicates the degree of waterproofing of the equipment. Represents the level of water intake prevention. The highest level is 8.

We should choose the suitable generator according the working situation.

In generally, the commons protection grade is IP21, IP23, IP44, IP54, IP55, IP56, IP65. Different protection grade of generator is suitable for different working situation. Most of them are used in dry and clean industrial and mining enterprises. In addition to inflammable and explosive gases, dust, humidity and other special environments, the actual use of "IP23" level of protection is OK, there is no need to use a higher level of protection.

There is internal and external ventilated heat window on end cap and seat of IP23 generator, this kind of generator is suitable used in clean, dry and ventilated environment. But some customers chose this kind of generator without considering the suitable conditions of the generator.

Especially in the environment with conductive dust, it is quite unsafe to use this kind of generator. Once the conductive dust enters the generator winding, it will affect the ventilation and heat dissipation of the generator winding. At the same time, it will easily lead to short-circuit electrical fault, which will seriously affect the service life of the generator. Therefore, when choose generator, it must match the actual operating conditions.

 diesel generator

Starlight diesel generator protection grade include IP22, IP23, IP45, IP65, open type diesel generator is IP22 to IP23, soundproof type diesel generator is IP45, containerized diesel generator is IP65. For all these kinds of generators, you all can choose according to your requirements.

If you have purchase plan of diesel generator set recently, but do not know choose which one, welcome to inquiry us by sales@dieselgeneratortech.com, we will work with you at any time.

Guides to Clean VOLVO Diesel Generator Cooling System

VOLVO Engine Cooling System Volvo engine's internal cooling system makes sure the engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed system that must always be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursting due to freezing. Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be used all year round. This also applies in areas where there is never any risk of freezing, to provide the engine of  diesel generator set   with full corrosion protection. The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as a substitute for coolant. The corrosion protection additives become less effective over time, which means that the coolant must be changed at regular intervals; refer to Maintenance Schedule. The cooling system must be flushed whenever the coolant is changed; Volvo Penta coolants have been prepared to work best ...
