According to different power and configurations, the cost of a diesel generator set can range from tens of thousands to millions, and the price does not come cheap. However, in recent years, numerous diesel generator sets have suffered burnout in use, it directly causes a great loss to users. In order to prevent diesel generator sets from burning out, Dingbo Power reminds users to focus on the following details during operation, which can effectively avoid such incidents.

Always maintain the diesel generator sets to be clean and tidy. If dust, water and other foreign matter enter a diesel generator set during operation, it will form a short-circuit medium, damage the wire insulation, cause interturn short circuits, and lead to increased current and rising temperatures that result in the burnout of the unit.
It is necessary to observe and listen carefully. Stop the machine immediately when it smells a peculiar smell. Check the diesel generator set with or without vibration, noise, and abnormal peculiar. During the operation of a diesel generator set, regular inspections are especially essential for high-power units – check that foundation bolts, end covers, bearing glands and other components are tight, and verify the reliability of grounding devices.
Regularly check and maintenance the control devices of diesel generator sets to ensure their normal operation. The technical performance of the control devices is critical to their reliable startup.
Usually inspect whether the three-phase current of the generator is balanced. For three-phase asynchronous diesel generator sets, the difference between the current of any single phase and the average value of the other two phases shall not exceed 10% – this is a prerequisite for ensuring the safe operation of the unit.
Maintain the stable voltage, diesel generator sets will run under overload due to excessive load, low voltage, jamming of the driven machinery and other such factors.

To ensure the safe operation of diesel generator sets, users must focus on the aforementioned operational details. If any malfunctions occur with the unit, please promptly identify the root cause and rectify the fault. Feel free to contact Dingbo Power if you need professional operators.
