The reason and solutions for unstable frequency of diesel generator



After the diesel generator generates electricity, the faults of unstable voltage and frequency are usually caused by unstable excitation current or low residual excitation voltage of the exciter. When the excitation current of the diesel power generator is unstable or the residual magnetic voltage of the exciter is low, the AC voltage produced by the cutting force line of the stator will be unstable and the frequency will fluctuate. What shall I do? Starlight manufacturer answers for you.

The reason for unstable frequency after starting diesel generator:
1.Air enters the fuel line of the fuel supply system, which makes the speed of the diesel engine unstable.
2.Blockage in oil pipeline.
3.The uneven fuel supply of high-pressure oil pumps leads to different deflagration power of diesel fuel in combustion chamber.
4.Poor atomization of fuel injector in cylinder results in different deflagration power of diesel fuel in combustion chamber.
5.Damage of stable regulating components in AVR control board.
6.Contact part of each circuit has bad contact or short circuit fault.

The solutions for unstable frequency faults:
1.After starting the diesel engine, the speed is increased to observe whether the voltage and frequency are stable. With the increase of speed, the fluctuation range of voltage and frequency is larger, but the diesel engine has become stable and the smoke exhaust is light gray. This indicates that the diesel engine works normally and the fault may occur in the control box and exciter.
2.The exciter and related circuits are measured by multimeter, and abnormal results are found.
3.Adjust the stability of AVR control board, failures can not be solved.
4.After the diesel generator shuts down, the exciter is charged with 6V battery, and then the diesel engine is started until the speed reaches about 750r/min. The generator starts to build up voltage, and the fluctuation range of voltage and frequency meets the technical requirements of the generator set.
5.Start the diesel engine again after shutdown. Observe how the frequency and voltage of the generator react, and find that the frequency and voltage are unstable.
6.After shutdown, increase the starting speed of diesel engine (increase the fuel supply of governor) and restart the diesel engine until the speed reaches about 800 r/min. At this time, the frequency and voltage of the generator are stable. However, the frequency and voltage of the generator are unstable when the diesel engine is started by lowering the control handle. After several repetitions, it is concluded that the starting speed of the diesel engine of this diesel generator set must be 750-800 r/min before the generator can generate electricity and the range of voltage and frequency fluctuations meets the requirements.

Hope above information can help you to solve unstable frequency of diesel generating set.

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 ...
