How to Start and Shut Down Diesel Generator Set

by Starlight Generator dieselgeneratortech

Startup operation

1. Press the start button to start the generator. At the same time, pay attention to the presence of mechanical noise, abnormal vibration and so on.

 

2. During operation, the operator closely monitors the voltage, frequency, current, power factor, oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature, charging current, speed and other instrument instructions and changes of generator set through the instrument. When the specified value is exceeded, timely inspection and measures should be taken, and the operation can be continued only after returning to normal.

 

3. The emergency stop button on the control screen panel is only used in case of emergency. After pressing the button, the generator will stop immediately and sound-light alarm will be issued at the same time.

 

4. After the generator runs normally, close the main switch (low-voltage air switch) of the generator set, and the generator supplies power to the electrical load.

 

Shut down

1. After the mains power is normal, gradually cut off the load and disconnect the main switch (low-voltage air switch) of the generating set.

 

2. In the state of no-load, gradually reduce the speed to idle speed, and wait for the diesel engine water and oil temperature to drop below 70°C before stopping.

 

3. Disconnect the start-up control power, and close the isolation switch to the mains power position in the order of operation.

 

 

Manual operation

 

Check before starting:

 

1. Turn on the power

 

2. Check if the following items are normal:

 

(1) Water tank level

 

(2) Oil and diesel oil level

 

(3) Battery voltage

 

(4) Battery water level

 

3. Check the control panel, switch the main switch to the stop position, close the detection switch. After the display is normal, turn on the detection switch, each instrument should display zero, and the indicator light shows shutdown.

 

Starting up

 

1. Switch the main switch to the manual start position, the generator should start immediately, and the indicator light shows normal.

 

2. Observe the various instruments on the control panel, which should work normally.

 

3. To operate with load, close the power output switch.

 

Shut down

 

1. First cut off the back-end load and then turn off the power output switch.

 

2. After no-load operation for five minutes, turn the main switch to the stop position.

 

3. After checking that everything is normal, turn the main switch to the automatic start position and close the power output switch.

 

Automatic operation

(I) Please refer to the manual operation for inspection before starting, but cut the generator to the automatic starting state after inspection and close the power output switch.

 

(2) Power on: Cut off the mains power and observe if it starts automatically.

 

(3) Shutdown: Turn on the mains power and observe whether the power is switched automatically and shut down automatically.

 

Emergency shutdown

(1) In case of emergency, when the protection device of generator itself refuses to start, the generator should be shut down urgently and the main switch should be switched to the off position.

 

(2) After the emergency shutdown, carry out a comprehensive inspection of the generator immediately and resume normal operation as soon as possible.

 

Remarks:

 

1. No-load operation of the generator shall not exceed 15 minutes.

 

2. After the diesel generator is started, check the water level, oil level, diesel level, battery voltage, and battery fluid of the generator to maintain normal condition.

 

3. Make a running record for each test or automatic start operation.
