9 Precautions for Diesel Generators

As an important component of the power system, diesel generators are increasingly widely used in the power system. Before conducting routine or troubleshooting on diesel generators, maintenance personnel should carefully read and understand all safety precautions and warnings. Especially during the current hot summer weather, it is advisable to keep the temperature of diesel vehicles as low as possible. Generally, the ambient temperature should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. For example, reducing the indoor temperature by turning on air conditioning or opening doors and windows to ensure ventilation in the generator room can prevent safety accidents caused by high temperatures. This article is provided by Dingbo Electric to explain in detail the top 9 safety precautions for diesel long-distance telephone use.

1. Users must wear work clothes and must not wear loose clothes when using diesel generators.

2. A warning icon is affixed to the diesel generator set, indicating potential hazards that may cause personal injury or death. However, as long as attention is given and necessary measures are taken, the danger can be avoided.

3. Do not pry open the rotating part of the diesel generator with a chain, as this abnormal operation may cause serious personal injury or blade damage.

4. Before disassembling or loosening any connectors, fasteners, or related components, release the air pressure first, followed by the liquid system. Never use your hands to check, as high-pressure fuel or gasoline is harmful to the human body.

5. Before carrying out any maintenance work, a connecting wire must be removed first. If there is an aerodynamic device, the aerodynamic device should be removed first to prevent accidental start-up. At the same time, the "stop" sign should also be hung in the operation room or control room.

6. When the diesel generator set is in operation or the fuel inside the engine is hot, the diesel generator should be cooled first, and then the water cover should be slowly released to relieve the pressure of the cooling system.

7. After starting the diesel generator, the speed should be slowly increased. After confirming that everything is normal, no-load operation can be carried out until the no-load speed is reached. During no-load operation, focus on checking for pressure, abnormal noise, excitation current, three-phase voltage changes, etc. If there are any abnormalities, stop the operation immediately for inspection. After knowing the situation, start over. As long as everything is normal, it can run. The diesel generator operator should closely monitor the changes in the instruments on the control screen and make adjustments within the allowed range.

8. When operating a diesel generator, the operator should maintain a safe distance from live equipment and wear protective equipment. When switching, attention should be paid to the sequence. If there is a power outage, the opening switches should be disconnected first, then the main switch should be disconnected, and then the four pole double knife switching should be carried out. When the power supply system is running, the order is opposite. Generally, for faults, a portion of the load should be unloaded first, then the main switch should be disconnected, and finally the diesel generator should be turned off. It is not allowed to keep the main switch open, and it will automatically disconnect when the diesel generator is turned off. Perform routine inspections on the unit after a power outage and keep records (work logs).

9. If an electric shock accident occurs, the power supply should be quickly cut off, or insulated equipment should be used to cut off or cut off the power supply quickly. Then go for rescue and invite a doctor to be present. When a water disaster occurs in power equipment, the power must be immediately cut off, reported to the local power supply station, and the fire must be immediately extinguished. Fire extinguishing for live equipment should use dry fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, etc. Water is prohibited.
