Daily Maintenance Precautions for Generator Sets

Time:2025-12-22 16:05:45  Edit:HuaQuan Traffic Index:320
A generator set is a complete set of equipment that converts other forms of energy (such as mechanical energy) into electrical energy, with its core components being the engine (which provides mechanical energy) and the generator (which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy).
 
I. Advantages of Generator Sets
The core advantage of generator sets is their ability to independently and autonomously provide stable electricity, fundamentally solving the problems of "no power" and "unstable power."
 
II.  Huaquan Power is a Professional Generator set Manufacturer in China
Huaquan Power is a professional generator set manufacturer in China. It offers a complete range of generators, covering diesel, gasoline, and gas generators, with a wide power range, capable of meeting the needs of various scenarios from home backup and commercial operations to large industrial projects.

7. Portable Generator: Lightweight, equipped with wheels or handles for easy portability, mainly fueled by gasoline or diesel.
8. Light Tower Generator: Light tower generators are specialized equipment for powering remote lighthouses, combining reliability and durability to ensure maritime safety.
9. Box Type Substation: Integrates transformer and distribution equipment into a compact outdoor substation, enabling power reception and distribution.
10. Energy Storage Power Supply: Stores excess electricity when supply is abundant and releases it back to the grid during shortages.
11. Outdoor Power Supply: Uses Class A lithium iron phosphate batteries with three charging modes—mains, solar, and vehicle—offering smart protection and cost-effectiveness.
12. Generator Set Parts: Complete range of generator set parts, featuring high durability, wide compatibility, and easy installation.
 
IV. Daily Maintenance Precautions for Generator Sets
1. Daily/Pre-start Inspection of Generator Sets (Spend 5 minutes before each operation)
a. Check fluids:
- Engine oil: Check whether the oil level is between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick, and add oil immediately if it is insufficient.
- Coolant: Check the level in the generator set's expansion tank to ensure it is between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks.
- Fuel: Check the diesel/petrol level to ensure it is sufficient, and check the bottom for any water sediment.
b. Check the battery:
- Inspect the battery terminals to ensure they are secure and free of white oxidation (corrosion), and keep them clean and dry.
c. Check appearance:
- Visually inspect the generator set and pipelines for fuel, engine oil, or coolant leaks.
- Check the tension of the fan belt to ensure it is appropriate.
2. Generator Set During Operation/Periodic Maintenance (Ensure Long-term Stability)
- Keep it clean: Regularly clean the surface of the generator set with dry compressed air, especially radiator fins and air filters, as dust accumulation affects heat dissipation and intake.
- No-load operation: If the generator set is on long-term standby, it is recommended to run it under no load once a month for 10-15 minutes each time. This helps charge the battery, lubricate internal components, and remove moisture.
- Check instruments: During operation, observe engine oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and frequency to ensure they are within normal ranges.
3. Regular Maintenance and Replacement of Generator Sets (Strictly Follow the Manual)
- This is key to ensuring the generator set's lifespan and reliability; it must be done according to the manufacturer's maintenance manual. Main items include:
- Engine oil and filters: Usually the first maintenance occurs after 50 hours of operation, and subsequently every 250 hours.
- Fuel filters: Replace regularly (e.g., every 500 hours) to prevent impurities from damaging fuel pumps and injectors.
- Air filters: Replace more frequently in dusty environments to prevent premature generator wear.
- Coolant: Recommended to check and replace every year or every 2000 hours to prevent scaling and corrosion.
 
V. FAQ on Generator Sets
1. Key elements for long-term shutdown protection of generator sets?
Drain the fuel, disconnect the battery, block the air intakes, and perform a power-on maintenance once a month.
2. What are the necessary conditions for parallel operation of generator sets?
Voltage/frequency/phase angle deviation must be ≤±2%, and reverse power protection must be in place.
3. Core principle for connecting generator set loads?
Follow a "largest to smallest" tiered start-up to avoid instantaneous overload shocks.
4. Minimum standard for generator room ventilation?
The intake area should be ≥1.5 times the radiator area, and the exhaust volume should exceed the generator's intake volume by 20%.
 
VI. Application Areas of Generator Sets
Generator sets are widely used in the following key areas:
Construction sites: generator sets serve as the main power source for equipment.
Data centers: provide uninterrupted backup power.
Medical facilities: ensure life support systems remain operational.
Industrial production: generator sets guarantee continuous production without power interruptions.
Communication base stations: maintain network connectivity.
Commercial buildings: emergency lighting and elevator operation.
