Repair and Maintenance

General

A good maintenance program is the key to extending the genset's lifetime. Maintenance and service should only be operated by qualified technicians. Records of this work should be kept to develop an efficient maintenance program.

Generator Set Preventative Maintenance

Cheak before starting every time (For standby sets these procedures may be performed weekly.) A walk around inspection should be performed on a daily basis and prior to starting the engine. Every two weeks (For standby sets that have not been run.) Perform an operational check on the generating set by starting and running the set for only takes 5 minutes. WARNING: don't run diesel engines at low loads for long periods. Every month (For standby sets that have not been run on load.) Perform an operational check on the generating set by starting and running the set on at least 50% load takes 1 to 2 hours. Every six months or 250 hours Repeat the daily procedures, as follows: Check all control system safety devices by electrically simulating faults. Clean all battery cap vents. Tighten all exhaust connections. Tighten all electrical connections. Perform other engine maintenance as specified in the engine manual. Start the engine and observe the instrument panel to ensure that all gauges and meters are operating properly.

When diesel generator sets operate, in standby power or prime power, they perhaps encounter some mechanical or electrical problems which could cause them to either shutdown or degrade their performance. Generator set problems vary from simple electrical wiring faults to major engine problems. Trouble-shooting in the Generator sets can simply answer these questions: what caused this alarm, or what caused this shutdown or what caused this erratic behavior. Trouble-shooting is a process of collecting the information and defining the problem. After defining the problem, list all the possible causes of the problem and finally select the solution to eliminate the problem, as well as taking the economics and reliability into consideration
