As is well known, generators are emergency power generation equipment and have a certain service life. If diesel generators are operated correctly, their service life can be extended. Today, I brought you some correct usage methods for generators.
The correct use of diesel generators is crucial, and the specific steps for diesel generators are as follows:
1. Add engine oil to the diesel generator (the oil must be added to the appropriate position, not too much or too little. Each diesel generator has an oil dipstick, and the oil should be added to the dipstick). When adding diesel, if it is a water-cooled diesel generator, water should also be added.
2. Turn on the power conversion switch on the diesel engine side box or diesel generator control panel.
3. Start the diesel generator with the key and check if all electrical instruments or controllers are functioning properly, and if there are any abnormal noises from the unit.
4. Check if the voltage and frequency of the diesel generator are the values you requested.
5. Carefully observe the working status lights, oil pressure, and water temperature on the diesel generator to see if they are normal, and if there are any abnormal noises from the unit.
6. We must unload all the loads on the diesel generator before shutting down, then reduce the speed of the diesel generator to idle, and then stop the diesel generator.
7. If the diesel generator is used for a long time, we cannot immediately stop the diesel generator after unloading the load. We need to let the diesel generator run without load for a few more minutes to allow sufficient cooling time for the diesel generator.
