Quality Issues Are Not the Only Cause of High Generator Failure Rates

Sep. 05, 2022

With the increasing dependence of our national economy on electricity, diesel generator sets have also been more widely used, and even some light and small generators have begun to enter the daily life of residents, so the normal operation of generators is related to In the daily life of thousands of households and the production process of enterprises, under the general direction of this kind of society where generators are widely used, how to reduce the incidence of common generator failures has become a key issue that people pay attention to, and it is necessary to solve the problem of high failure rate. We must first understand that the reason for the failure of diesel generator sets is not just the quality of the equipment. After 16 years of experience, Dingbo Power tells you that the common faults of 500kw diesel generator and their causes are mainly the following four.

 

1. The quality problem of the generator itself. The generator is composed of three parts: the diesel engine that provides power, the generator that generates current, and the control system. In this case, the operation of the three systems must be coordinated and closely coordinated. However, in power generation In the actual production and application process of the machine, not all accessories are passed. This leads to quality problems in the generator's own equipment, which in turn affects the normal operation of the generator, and even has potential safety hazards. To avoid such problems, users should keep their eyes open when purchasing diesel generator sets, and choose generator manufacturers with reliable reputation to buy generator sets.

2. A working environment with good environmental factors will undoubtedly improve the service life of the diesel generator set during normal operation. A considerable part of the failures of the generator are caused by the bad environment, such as the working environment of the generator is too humid, salty, etc. Circuit corrosion, leakage, short circuit and other problems caused by fog, such failures caused by environmental factors are not temporary random failures, such problems are inevitable during the long-term operation and use of the generator, but at the same time If you pay attention to the timely maintenance and maintenance of the generator, it is easy to reduce the incidence of such problems.

 

3. Human factors. The working operation of generators is not fully automatic, and human control is indispensable, so generator failures caused by human factors are also listed as common faults, because the negligence of relevant operating personnel often causes power generation. The machine has a working failure. For example, the generator fails to operate due to improper injection of oil and lubricating oil of the generator. At the same time, human factors such as button operation errors and equipment connection errors will cause the generator to malfunction. Therefore, the operating personnel should be careful when facing the electrical components and mechanical parts of the generator to avoid problems.

 

4. Poor equipment maintenance. During the normal operation of the generator, the maintenance of the equipment is also a very critical work operation link. If the generator is still required to work under the condition of improper equipment storage, then the generator fails. The probability will be greatly increased, and the maintenance work of the generator components will greatly increase the service life of the generator. For example, improper maintenance of the fuel supply system of the generating sets will cause the mixture concentration of the generator to be too high or too low, and the combustion will be incomplete, which will reduce the working efficiency of the generator and even affect the service life of the generator. The reasons for the failure of diesel generator sets are nothing more than the above four. No matter what the cause of the failure is, the relevant operating personnel need to take it seriously, analyze it carefully, and face the fault problem of the diesel generator set with rigorous thinking.
