Causes and Troubleshooting of Common Faults of Diesel Electric System in Diesel Generator Sets

Causes and Troubleshooting of Common Faults of Diesel Engine Electrical System in Diesel Generator Sets

Common causes of diesel engine electrical system faults in diesel generator sets are as follows:

Fault features

Possible Causes

Method of exclusion

Starter motor does not rotate

(1) Poor connection of the connection wire

(2) Poor contact of electromagnetic switch contacts

(3) Bad brush contact

(4) The starter motor itself is short-circuited

(5) The battery is insufficiently charged or the capacity is too small

Clean and tighten the connector

Check the switch contacts and polish with sand

Clean the commutator surface or replace brushes

Find the short-circuit site after repair, replace the starter motor if necessary

To charge the battery or increase the battery in parallel, necessary

Replace the battery

Starter motor idling without power

(1) Bad contact or disconnection of brushes and terminals

(2) Wear of bearing sleeve

(3) Partial short circuit of field winding or armature winding

(4) electromagnetic switch contacts singeing, poor contact

(5) The battery is insufficiently charged or the capacity is too small, and the line voltage of the starter motor is too low

Clean the surface, re-weld or replace

Renewed

Find out the short-circuit site repair

Check the switch contacts and polish with sand

Charge the battery, replace the battery if necessary, increase the conductivity

Line section or shortened wire length

Starter motor gear and flywheel teeth

Top gear or starter motor gear

Can't retreat

(1) The starter is not parallel to the center of the flywheel ring gear

(2) Electromagnetic switch contacts burned together

Reinstall the starter to eliminate non-parallelism

Check switch contacts, leveling and sanding

The start button is released and the starter motor continues to run

Starting electric key or button does not reset

(2) The electromagnetic switch contacts and connecting screws are burned

(3) Starter relay burned

readjust

Overhaul

readjust

Alternator cannot be charged

(1) AC generator transmission tape looseness

(2) Poor contact of charging circuit, ground circuit or battery connector

(3) Failure of the rotor (magnetic field coil)

Adjust the tape to the right tension

Check all wires and connectors, wipe all connectors clean and tighten. Replace leads and connectors as necessary

Replace the rotor

The charging generator voltage is too low or

The charger is not charging properly

(1) Transmission tape looseness

(2) Poor contact of charging circuit, ground circuit or battery connector

(3) The alternator voltage regulator is damaged

(4) Failure of the rotor (field coil)

(5) Rectifier diode burnout

Adjust the tape to the right tension

Check all wires and connectors, wipe all connectors clean and tighten. Replace leads and connectors as necessary

Replace voltage regulator

Replace the rotor

Replace rectifier diode

Charge generator voltage too high

(1) Bad contact on alternator or alternator voltage regulator

(2) The alternator voltage regulator is faulty

Tighten all connections on alternator or voltage regulator

Replace voltage regulator

Generator has abnormal sound

(1) Wear or damage of transmission tape

(2) loose transmission tape

(3) The transmission tape and the pulley wheel are not aligned with each other

(4) Generator bearing wear

(5) Armature or rotor shaft bending

(6) Short circuit of generator rectifier

Replace the tape

Adjust the tape to the right tension

Adjustment aligns center of drive tape with center of tape wheel

Replace generator

Replace generator

Replace generator


If the diesel engine electrical system of the diesel generating set encounters the above faults, it can be processed according to the above method. If you need the guidance of professional technicians of ITOC, please call the ITOCHU Hotline:
