High-power diesel generator sets are usually applied in important places, such as hospitals, breeding farms, mines, data centers, etc. There is no significant difference in usage between high-power and low-power generator sets. However, we must thoroughly understand the usage steps to prevent damage to the machine and avoid serious accidents and losses. The usage matters involve multiple aspects. The following is a detailed elaboration by Meihua Generator Set Manufacturer on these aspects:
I. Preparations Before Startup
1. Check the oil level: Ensure the oil level is within the specified range. If it is insufficient, top up in a timely manner. High-power diesel generator sets have higher requirements for oil. Use oil that meets the specifications and change it regularly.
2. Check the water level in the radiator: Check the water level in the cooling system to ensure it is sufficient. If it is insufficient, add water in a timely manner. At the same time, clean the radiator and radiator regularly to keep the cooling system clean.
3. Check the fuel: Confirm that there is sufficient diesel in the fuel tank and that the fuel lines are unobstructed. Check for any oil leakage in the diesel pipeline and also check whether the small oil pipes of the generator set are loose or leaking.
4. Check the battery: Check if the battery is fully charged and if the battery cables are securely connected. Regularly charge and maintain the battery to keep its performance good.
5. Check the exhaust system: Ensure the exhaust system is unobstructed and free of blockages. At the same time, check the air filter to ensure there is no debris attached.
6. Check other components: Check if all components of the generator set are in good condition. If any are damaged, replace or repair them in a timely manner.
II. Startup Procedure
1. Power Off: Switch the generator's output switch from the "On" position to the "Off" position to ensure no one can come into contact with dangerous voltages.
2. Open the Fuel Valve: If the generator uses fuel, open the fuel valve to allow fuel to enter the engine.
3. Start the Engine: Press the start button to start the engine. Do not start more than three times consecutively, with an interval of at least two minutes between each start. If it fails to start after three attempts, identify the cause before attempting to start again.
4. Check the Instruments: Once the generator starts successfully, immediately release the start button and check if all the indicators on the instrument panel are normal, such as voltage, frequency, and current.
III. Operation Monitoring
1. Listen to the running sound: Listen to the sound of the generator during operation. If any abnormality is detected, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
2. Observe the instruments: Throughout the operation, closely monitor the generator and pay attention to the various indicators on the instrument panel, such as voltage, frequency, current, oil pressure, oil temperature, and cooling water temperature, to ensure they are within the normal range.
3. Check for leaks: Regularly pay attention to the operation of the oil and water connections to prevent leakage problems.
4. Avoid overloading: Avoid prolonged overloading of the generator to prevent damage to the equipment.
IV. Shutdown Operations
1. Disconnect Power Supply: Before shutting down, disconnect the municipal power switch and the generator incoming line switch in the distribution cabinet.
2. Press the Stop Button: In the generator set control panel, pull down the air switch and press the stop button to safely shut down the machine.
3. Inspect the Generator Set: After shutdown, check all parts of the generator to ensure there are no abnormalities. Then, close the doors and windows of the machine room and keep it clean and tidy.
