Harms caused by small faults and untimely maintenance of diesel generator sets



As we all know, the service life of diesel generator set is closely related to correct operation and reasonable use. When the unit breaks down, it needs to be repaired in time, but some users think that some minor faults do not affect the use of the unit, so they ignore them, and they will not repair until the unit "strikes", which is extremely incorrect. Today, I'll talk about the harm of diesel generator set's small failure and untimely maintenance.


1.If the maintenance of small faults of diesel generators is not timely, there will be short-circuit between turns of stator winding, which will generate ring current under the action of short-circuit voltage, which may cause turn to turn short circuit to develop into single-phase ground short circuit and phase to phase short circuit. When the multi-phase phase to phase short circuit occurs in the stator winding, it is the most harmful to the unit, and the short circuit current will cause the unit to burn down.

2.If the generator set is not maintained in time, the excitation current will drop sharply or disappear. The unit will absorb a lot of reactive power from the system, and the unit will change from synchronous operation to asynchronous operation. The system voltage will also drop, which will cause the system to collapse in serious cases.
3.If there is a small fault that is not repaired in time, the excitation circuit will be grounded. The excitation circuit of the unit is grounded in one point and two points respectively. Generally speaking, when the excitation circuit is grounded at one point, there is no serious harm to the unit. However, if the maintenance is not carried out in time, two-point grounding may occur, which will destroy the balance of the rotor flux, cause strong vibration of the generator, and finally burn the rotor winding.
4.If the diesel generator set is not maintained in time, the unit will over-voltage. When the unit is in operation and load rejection occurs suddenly, over-voltage may occur due to the large inertia of the speed control system, resulting in the breakdown of the insulation layer of the unit.
5.If the unit fails to be repaired in time, the unit will be overloaded. Generator overload refers to the operation of the unit beyond the rated capacity. If it is a short-term overload operation, it will generally cause the stator winding temperature rise and accelerate the aging of the insulation part, affecting the normal service life of the unit. If it is overloaded for a long time, it is possible to burn down the stator winding, and the final result is that the unit cannot generate electricity.
6.If the small fault of the unit is not repaired in time, the stator will be over-current. Stator overcurrent is generally caused by external short circuit or system oscillation. When it is slight, the stator temperature will rise to accelerate the aging of the insulation part of the winding; when it is serious, other major faults will occur.

In order to prevent large failures of the unit, the user should stop the unit immediately after finding small failures, check and eliminate the failures, and put the unit into use after repair. In addition, the corresponding protection device can be set on the diesel generator set to play a better role in protecting the diesel generators.

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.
