How to Safely Use Diesel Generators? Part 1

If you are looking for a generator, you are already familiar with the characteristics of many models. In addition to basic operating parameters, you will definitely notice several functions. Some buyers may say: Great! The more technology, the better. But pragmatists know that installing additional systems on generators will increase their prices. So, it's best to understand your situation in advance, know what's really needed and what's not useful, and it's best not to spend too much money on these things. Let's take a look at the three aspects that make generators simpler and safer.

1. Definition of system startup.

To start the generator motor generating energy and generate current, it needs to be started. Depending on the installed system, this situation may occur in different ways. Distinguish between three startup methods:

(1) Manual starter is a special connection that must be securely fastened in order to start the engine. The larger the power generation, the greater the energy consumption, so in general, this system is installed on models with a power of less than 8-10kw. The advantage of this device is high reliability and no additional power supply is required.

(2) The combination of manual and electric systems is relatively simple to use and does not require a lot of time. Just check the ignition key to start the system. The engine is driven by a battery pack and can be used as part of a generator or purchased separately. But if the battery is discharged, the engine cannot start. So, some manufacturers combine flashlights with flashlights.

(3) Automatic start - the most advanced system that does not require any operation when the generator is powered on. Even when no users experience a network interruption, the backup power supply automatically starts. To achieve this, it is necessary to provide control automation devices. After the power is restored, the generator automatically stops running and enters a cooling state, followed by a power outage.

It should be pointed out that although the automatic start system is convenient, it is not suitable for all situations. This has increased the cost of generators by 10-50%. If necessary, use such power plants reasonably to ensure the operation of medical equipment, alarm systems, refrigeration equipment, and other equipment that may cause serious consequences and interruptions. But if the generator is used to power factories or workshops, users can easily manually start the generator before starting work.
