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 sound of discharge, the high-voltage fuse is blown, and the indication of the secondary side voltmeter is unstable, varying from high to low. Causes of failure: system over-voltage, long-term overload operation, insulation aging, poor manufacturing process.

(5) The winding is broken. Fault phenomenon: during operation, arc may be generated at the broken line, with discharge sound, and the voltmeter indication of broken line phase is reduced or zero. Causes of the fault: poor welding process, insufficient mechanical strength or unqualified outgoing line, resulting in broken winding lead.

(6) Insulation breakdown of winding to ground. Fault phenomenon: the fuse on the high voltage side is continuously fusing, and there may be discharge sound. Causes of failure: winding insulation aging or conductive impurities in the winding, insulation oil moisture, overvoltage breakdown, serious oil shortage, etc.

(7) Short circuit between windings. Fault phenomenon: high voltage side fuse is blown, oil temperature increases sharply, and even fuel injection smoke phenomenon. Causes: winding insulation aging, insulation oil moisture, serious oil shortage.

(8) Discharge flashover between bushing. Fault phenomenon: high voltage side fuse is blown, bushing flashover discharge. Causes of failure: the casing is mechanically damaged by external force, foreign matters or small animals enter between the casings, the casing is seriously polluted and the insulation is poor.

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 ...
