How To Deal with Perkins Generator Frequency Lower Than 50Hz

Diesel power generators rated frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz. When the frequency is lower than 50Hz, what we should do to solve the problem? Today Starlight manufacturer talks to you.

Normally 100kw Perkins diesel generator frequency is 50 Hz, but after it starting, the generation frequency is lower than 50Hz, what is the problem? It seems to be a problem in the control system, but after careful inspection, it is not difficult to find that the problem is caused by the failure of the fuel system or machinery. When the speed does not reach the rated speed, the frequency of the genset will be lower than 50Hz.

Find the key to the problem, in order to really solve the problem, how to sort out all parts of the problem?

1.Check the working situation of cylinder. After running speed of diesel generator is about 700r/min, check the temperature of exhaust pipes of each cylinder by hand. If the temperature of cylinder is different from others, it is a problem of cylinder. If the temperature of cylinder is the same, it is not a problem of cylinder.

2.Check diesel oil pressure. First, remove the oil outlet pipe of the oil pump, block the oil outlet hole with one hand, and press the handle of the oil pump repeatedly with the other hand to observe whether the oil pressure is normal.

3.Check high pressure oil pump. Remove the side cover plate of the high-pressure oil pump, run the diesel generator set, then carefully observe whether there is any leakage of diesel oil between the high-pressure oil pump and the pump body. If there is oil leakage, it shows that the clearance between the plunger and the plunger sleeve of the oil pump channels oil, which leads to insufficient oil supply in the low-pressure oil pipeline, power decline. So the speed can't reach the rated speed.

4.Check whether there is impurity or not. Check the filter screen of the oil pump after 100kw Perkins diesel generator shout down. If there is no impurity, the operation will be normal.

5.Check replacement. After replacing the new oil pump, start the diesel generator and observe whether the tachometer is displayed at 1500r/min after the speed is raised to the standard speed. After exciter excitation, the frequency of the generator set will be displayed at 50.5Hz, at time, if reduce the speed, the frequency will be displayed at 50Hz. Then the diesel generator set will be able to operate normally.

When there is problem in diesel generator, if you do not have technology and knowledge in generator faults, it is better not to disassemble the generator set by yourself, must operate under professional engineers.

In order to let our generator set run better, maintenance is also important.
Recently generator enterprises put forward new ideas for daily maintenance: taking preventive test as the center, replacing parts, overhauling or replacing three filters should be based on full load test machine. In order to discover the potential safety hazards of gensets in operation, preventive test refers to the periodic full-load test of gensets that have been put into operation in accordance with the specified test conditions, test items and test cycles, It can simulate the real situation of power failure and provide objective basis.

New methods of daily maintenance:
Inspection of four leakages, surface, starting battery, oil and fuel of diesel Generator Set.
No load monthly, the time of no load can not over 5 minutes.
Full-load test of diesel generating sets and power mutation test.
Replace the three filters according to the running time of the diesel generator.
Clean and improve the environment of generator room
After replacement of spare parts and the three filters, or overhaul, the full-load test machine must be judged.

Benefits of full-load test:
It can correct the nominal power of the genset, keep abreast of the actual situation of the diesel genset at any time, so that customers can have a good idea of the operation and use electricity safely.
Obtain the performance indicators of the genset, judge the real reason of the performance decline, provide scientific basis for replacing the three filters, and reduce maintenance costs.
To judge whether the expected purpose can be achieved after overhaul
Long-term full-load test can effectively remove coke deposit, prolong diesel genset overhaul time and save cost.
Provides the basis for the abandonment time of 100kw Perkins diesel generator, and enables customers to rationally arrange the use of units.

Preventive experiment is an important measure to judge whether the equipment can continue to be put into operation and ensure safe operation. It is also an important link in the operation and maintenance of electric power equipment. It is also a necessary measure to ensure the safety of users, giving priority to prevention and reducing costs.

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 ...
