The Difference Between Ordinary and Automatic Controller of Generator

The control panel of diesel generator set is divided into ordinary generator set control panel and automatic generator set control panel. The common control panel is applicable to the control of the common diesel generator set. The starting and stopping, power supply and power failure, and state adjustment of the generator set are all manually operated. The automatic generator set control panel is applicable to the control of the automatic diesel generator set. The starting and stopping, power supply and power failure, and state adjustment of the generator set can be completed by manual or automatic operations.

According to the installation mode, the control panel of diesel generator set can be divided into integrated type and split type. The split control panel means that the generator set is placed separately from the control panel, and the control system and main switch are installed in the control panel. The integrated control panel consists of an automatic control panel and a switch panel. The automatic control panel (with the control system installed) is fixed above the generator set through a damping pad, and the switch panel (with the main switch installed) is installed on the side of the generator set.

The control panel of ordinary generator is composed of circuit breaker, ammeter, voltmeter, frequency meter, water temperature meter, oil pressure meter, oil temperature meter, tachometer, timer and current transformer, which can complete the control functions of starting and stopping the generator unit, power supply and power-off, and measure, display, over limit alarm and protection of the operating state of the generator set.

The control panel of automatic generator set is composed of automatic controller, automatic heater, automatic charger, automatic switching device, circuit breaker, ammeter, voltmeter, charging ammeter, DC voltmeter, voltage frequency meter, water temperature meter, oil pressure meter, oil temperature meter, diesel engine tachometer, timer, alarm buzzer, control relay, protection switch, current transformer, etc. The control panel of the automatic generator set can automatically complete the control functions of starting and stopping the unit, power supply and power-off, and measure, display, over limit alarm and protection of the operating state of the diesel generating set.

The main purpose of the control panel is to distribute the electrical energy output by the generator to the load or electrical equipment, and also to indicate the operation of the diesel generator and maintain the voltage stability of the generator when the load changes. When selecting the control panel, users can select it according to their own requirements, or the generator manufacturer can select a control panel that meets your needs.
