C7. Genset with Air-cooled Engine

C7.1 Introduction

KOEL genset is carefully designed to provide optimum performance and reliability with great
economy and minimum maintenance. This genset package is a result of over 55 years of
actual site experience to deliver a comprehensive system built with advanced engineering
concepts and backed by an efficient service network.

Please read this manual to understand operation and maintenance of the genset. By following
instructions in the manual and proper care, the genset will be always ready to respond to any
emergency standby or prime power needs.

C7.2 Description Of Genset Package

Gensets consist of an alternator driven by a diesel engine. The engine has systems such as
fuel, exhaust, cooling, electrical and control. These topics are covered in detail elsewhere in
this manual.
The engine has a governor that maintains the engine speed within a set tolerance to deliver
rated power and frequency as per ISO 3046, DIN 6271 AND BS 5514. The alternator produces
output with correct voltage, optimum wave form, fast response and precise voltage regulation.

C7.3 Canopy

KOEL gensets are housed in a canopy. Use of canopy has the following advantages:

C-7
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•Reduces the noise produced by genset during operation.


•Allows installation of genset outdoors without needing a shade.
•Protects the genset from weather and vermin.
•Prevents pilferage of fuel etc.
•Creates a comprehensive ‘ready to use’ package that can be easily transported to another
location.

C8. Engine
The engine of the genset has proven reliability and is specifically designed to operate in
conjunction with an alternator. The heavy duty engine is a 4-stroke, compression ignition prime
mover fitted with all accessories necessary for reliable operation.

C8.1 Cooling System

KOEL offers gensets with air cooled as well as liquid cooled engines. This manual covers only
air cooled engines. Liquid cooled engines are covered under an independent manual.

C8.1.1 Air Cooled Engine

The engine is cooled by a high capacity cooling air blower mounted on engine and driven by v-
belts off the crankshaft. The blower forces air over cylinder liners and cylinder heads to cool
engine temperature for best performance. Hot air leaving engine is routed away using air guide
ducts. For enclosed gensets, ventilation is ensured by using special fans that remove radiated
heat from engine and alternator while avoiding hot air recirculation.
All engines applications require careful attention to air flow for ensuring best performance. The
notes provided in the Installation Section of this manual offer guidelines for selecting a location
for your genset. Consult KOEL Helpdesk for optimum genset site plan and layout for your
application.

C8.2 Engine Governor

The primary function of the governor system is to maintain engine speed in relation to varied
load requirements. This is accomplished by the governor which senses engine speed and
controls the engine fuel rate, in order to maintain practically constant speed. The engine speed
governor maintains engine speed within limits regardless of the steady load. As the alternator
load increases, the engine speed is reduced.
Because the speed must remain relatively constant, the governor, sensing engine speed, will
increase fuel flow to the engine, thus adjusting horsepower to a point sufficient to maintain
engine speed and compensate for the load change. The same principle is applied when the
load decreases. As the load is reduced the speed would increase, the governor will then
reduce fuel delivery thus decreasing the horsepower to maintain the proper speed.

C-8
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C8.3 Brushless Alternator

The alternator is coupled to the engine with a flexible coupling.


Brushless excitation type alternator eliminates the maintenance associated with slip rings and
brushes. The internal components of the alternator are designed so as to assure efficient and
economical operation.
The control system consists of an automatic voltage regulator (within the alternator), protective
circuits and the necessary instruments to allow you to monitor the operation of genset. On most
models current is supplied through twelve leads enabling the operator to reconnect the genset
to obtain a variety of three phase voltages up to 480 volts. Single phase units supply current
through a two or three lead connection offering a variety of voltages from 120-250V. Units can
be supplied in 50 Hz outputs. See Alternator Section for further details of connections
available.
A brushless alternator is a synchronous rotating field type unit, which produces alternating
current. This alternator unit is completely self-contained and is designed and constructed to
provided trouble free operation, ease of maintenance and long service life.

C8.4 Vibration Isolation

All gensets are fitted with anti vibration mountings which are designed to reduce vibration being
transmitted from the rotating mass of the genset to the foundation on which the genset is
mounted. Vibration isolators are selected to suit the particular duty and are fitted between the
engine, alternator feet and the base frame. On some of the models the vibration isolators are
fitted between the base frame and the foundation depending on the system requirement.

C8.5 Fuel Tank and Base Frame

The design of the base frame incorporates removable fuel tank with a capacity of
approximately 8 hours operation. The tank is provided with fittings to facilitate either manual or
automatic filling. The base frame is manufactured from heavy gauge sheet steel and welded to
form a rigid assembly.

C-9
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Figure C - 8: Tank Unit


The top surface of fuel tank has a ‘tank unit’ to interface with the engine. The tank unit contains
features such as fuel level gauge, fuel level sensor, fuel level switch, fuel line connection and
return line connection.

C8.6 Silencer and Exhaust System

Exhaust silencer is provided to reduce noise emission from the engine and designed to direct
exhaust gases to areas where they will not be objectionable.
On ‘stand alone’ open gensets, the exhaust silencer is generally placed outside the Genset
room, with suitable extension piping from engine. Stainless steel expansion bellow is provided
on the engine, to facilitate the exhaust piping. For generating sets with acoustic canopy,
residential type silencer is fitted inside or outside the canopy with flange fitting at the outlet to
enable discharge of exhaust gases at desired location, through extension piping, as required.

C8.7 Genset Circuit Breaker

To protect the alternator winding, a suitably rated moulded case circuit breaker or miniature
circuit breaker (depending on the genset model) is supplied mounted in a strong fabricated
steel enclosure.
Current transformers are fitted on each of the phases on the cabling to the circuit breaker
enclosure for current measurement. In some configurations the main circuit breaker may be
incorporated in the automatic transfer panel.

C-10
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C8.8 System Protection

Control system provides protection of the engine against faults such as high temperature, low
oil pressure, over speed, low fuel level or other conditions. The system also prevents damage
to the cranking motor by automatically disengaging the motor after engine starts and deep
discharge of the starting battery by avoiding cranks if engine fails to start.

C8.9 Control Panel

All control panels are mounted in welded steel enclosures equipped with a sealed hinged door
for easy access and servicing. The control panel is available in several variations to suit the
requirement of the installation.

C8.10 Control Panel Power Supply

Engine instruments and the control panel are supplied from the battery fitted to the genset. This
battery also provides power for operation of the cranking motor to start the engine and for the
stop solenoid.

C8.11 Control Panel Mounting

The control panel and main circuit breaker are normally located on a separate stand that is
mounted on the base frame or canopy to ensure vibration free running. More complex control
systems have floor standing control panels. For a genset with acoustical canopy, the control
panel is fitted inside the enclosure. Suitable glass cover opening is provided on the enclosure
to view the instruments.

Figure C - 12: Space between two gensets


•Adequate fire fighting facilities suitable for diesel, oil and electrical fires should be available at
location.
•The location should be clean, dry and have good drainage capabilities.

C-16
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•The space around the gensets should be adequate to undertake major overhaul or service
operations. In some cases it may be necessary to remove major components.
•The location must allow free ventilation of inlet air and exhaust.
•Ideally the genset should be in open air. In case genset is to be mounted in side the building,
ensure proper ventilation around the genset.
•Choose the direction of placement such that natural wind helps in air flow of the genset.
•Locate the genset as near as possible to the load.
•Place the genset at one end of the site in the direction of wind to avoid dust entry into the
genset.
•In case the site’s atmosphere contains extra suspended particles like at Cement or Textile
factories, stone quarry, the genset may be placed at some distance.
• For highly dusty sites refer to the supplier representative for recommendation.
•The site selection should be complete before the genset reaches to location.
•Ensure sufficient illumination at the installation site. The interiors of acoustic canopy should
be clearly visible without help of any extra lighting.
•Provide suitable, safe access to elevated items.
•Standard tool kit (not supplied with genset) should be available easily and quickly. It should be
protected from corrosion and stored in a dry place.
•If spares are supplied along with the equipment, they should be protected from corrosion and
stored in a dry place.
•While designing the layout, provision should be made for:
-Proper laying of cables.
-Free access to fuel lines and filters.
-Sufficient space in front of the breather vent.
-Space for draining of coolant and lub oil.
-Adequate oil storage space.
-Space for safe storage of spares.

C10.2 Foundation

The foundation provides a leveled platform to seat and seal the Genset.

•Supports 1.5 times of the total dead weight of the single genset and 2 times of the total dead
weight for multiple gensets.
•Support the dynamic load of genset while in running. For dynamic load of the genset, please
refer to manual or contact the supplier.
•Isolate the surrounding structures by absorbing the vibration of genset while running.

C-17
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C10.2.1 Features of Foundations

•Provide a reinforced concrete foundation for the genset. Do not install acoustic canopy on
loose sand or clay.
•The foundation should have sufficient mass in proportion to the size of the genset to provide
the rigid support necessary for minimizing deflection and vibration.
•Before easing the genset on the foundation, ensure that no hard material such as stones or
steel objects remain on the mounting surface as this may damage fuel tank at the bottom.
•Design the foundation while considering safe load bearing capacity of soil.
•The length and breadth of foundation should be at least 150-300 mm more on each side than
length and breadth of the acoustic canopy.
•Ensure sufficient space for personnel to walk all around the foundation.
•Check the level of foundation diagonally as well as across length for even flatness.
•In case surface is rough, lay nitrile rubber strips, 15mm thick and equal to the width of the
base frame, under the genset, along the periphery of the base frame.
•It is recommended to raise foundation height about 150 to 200 mm above ground level, to
helps maintain cleanliness and avoid flooding.
•Ensure that concrete is completely set and cured before positioning the canopy.
•Consult a qualified structural engineer when seismic events are in consideration.
•The foundation may be located on soil, structural steel, building floors etc., provided the total
weight of the foundation and genset package does not exceed the allowable bearing load of
the support.
•Allowable bearing loads of structural steel can be obtained from Engineering Handbooks
while local building codes will provide the allowable bearing loads for different types of soil.

C10.3 Cooling and Ventilation

In case of air-cooled engines, a v-belt driven blower draws in cool and fresh air from
atmosphere.
•The blower’s draft passes over fins on the cylinders and cylinder head to cool the engine.
•If the engine is fitted with an intercooler, part of the cool air from blower passes through the
intercooler to reduce temperature and increase density of turbo-charger’s output.
•The alternator has a shaft-mounted ventilation fan to circulate cool air through its interiors.
•The hot air is channeled out of the canopy through special ducts.to avoid recirculation.
•The exhaust should flow in the direction of cooling airflow.

C-19
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Figure C - 13: Airflow through genset


•A temperature rise of 5-15 oC (9-27 oF) in the cooling air can be expected at full load.
•The radiated heat given off by the engine, generator and exhaust piping can result in a
temperature high enough to adversely affect operation and performance of the genset.
•Locate the genset in a room or area that will provide or allow sufficient ventilation to remove
this heat as well as radiated heat from the engine. If possible, provide exhaust fans to drive
hot air outside.
•If acoustic canopy is placed in an enclosed place, ensure that it is well ventilated and exhaust
gases are driven out of the enclosure.
•It may be necessary to add a flexible connection between the canopy and building ventilation
to ensure positively discharged of hot air from building. Consult KOEL for dimensions and
design of ventilation system of gensets fitted in buildings.
•For weather protection, louvers should be fitted to the intake and exhaust openings. These
can be either of the fixed or movable type.
•Manually operated movable louvers may be acceptable in some cases, but they are not
acceptable for automatic standby units.
•The cooling airflow should not be depended upon to open/close the louver vanes.
•Ensure that the exhaust releases in the direction of wind flow.

C10.3.1 Genset installed in a room

For basement installations, forced ventilation through air ducts is required. Contact supplier
representative for recommendation of values of air required and fan flows for various gensets
rated at 1500 rpm. Ensure the exhaust piping has lagging inside the room and silencer is fitted
outside the room.

C10.3.2 Ventilation check

Maximum allowed temperature rise above ambient in genset canopy air intake is 7°C.

C-20
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•Measure the ambient air temperature outside the canopy in shade.


•Measure the temperature inside the canopy near air cleaner inlet of engine.
•Calculate temperature difference between canopy temperature and ambient i.e. delta T.
•It may be necessary to measure actual airflow using an anemometer.

C10.4 Air Intake Installation

C10.4.1 Air Inlet

•Engine inlet air must be clean, dry and as cool as possible. These conditions will drastically
effect both engine life and performance.
•Air temperature near air cleaner should not be more than 5°C above ambient. Sufficient
window openings are required to maintain air inlet temperature within the limit.
•Normally the inlet can be taken from the area surrounding the installation site. However, in
some cases the condition of the air surrounding the machine may warrant ducting the air from
outside or another room.
•When it does become necessary to duct air in, the air cleaner should remain mounted to the
engine as opposed to a remote mounting (such as on a roof or in another room). This will
eliminate the possibility of dirt leaking through the duct work upstream of the air cleaner.

C10.5 Exhaust Installation

The exhaust system is used to direct exhaust gases to non-confined areas and reduce the
noise to tolerable levels. When designing a system the main objective is to minimize back
pressure. Excessive back pressure in an exhaust system will create horsepower loss and
increase the engine operating temperature, and emissions.

•Exhaust pipe outside the canopy should be lagged with aluminum sheet cladding. Typical
thickness of lagging - 50mm.
•If exhaust pipe length is more than 7 meter, add additional flexible bellows.
• Higher back pressure in exhaust system than specified limit will lead to:
-Higher fuel consumption
-Poor performance
-Engine component failure due to higher exhaust temperature
-Reduced engine life

C-21
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Figure C - 14: ERW and GI pipes


•Use of 'B class' MS ERW pipes or prefabricated stainless steel pipe and long bend elbows is
recommended for exhaust piping.
•Never use galvanized water pipes (GI pipes) for exhaust piping as they are heavy and costly.

C10.5.1 Exhaust piping dimension recommendation

•A maximum of 4 bends is acceptable in the exhaust pipe.


•Increase the pipe diameter by approximately 12.2 mm (0.5 inch) after every 5 meters length
above silencer.
•Curve the pipe. Do not use right angle bends.

C-22
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Figure C - 15: Use Curved Pipe for Exhaust

Figure C - 16: Do not use Angle Pipe for Exhaust


•Provide a rain cap to avoid entry of rain water into the engine. Add a slope to the horizontal
run of the exhaust piping downwards, away from engine to the condensate trap. Silencer
should be installed with drain plug at bottom.

Figure C - 17: Raincap

C-23
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•If the exhaust pipe cannot be bent at 90 degree, provide a rain cap over the pipe’s mouth, as
shown. In such case, the distance between exhaust pipe end, and the rain cap should be
higher than at least twice the diameter of the pipe.

Figure C - 18: Raincap on straight Exhaust Pipe


•Fit a loose grill over the end of the exhaust to prevent birds or small animals entering the pipe.
•For installations in the basement or inside a room, the exhaust piping should be directed
outside through the wall or the ceiling.
•For installations in populated areas, direct the exhaust above roof height of adjacent
buildings, as per statutory requirements.
•When bends are required in an exhaust system, always make the radius at least 150% of the
inside diameter of the pipe.
•As most exhaust system designs are governed by the physical characteristics of the building
or room in which they are located, it is of the utmost importance that the exhaust pipe be
routed in a path offering the least amount of turns or bends so not to increase back pressure
more than 50 mm of Mercury Column.
•Generating sets with acoustic canopy are provided with exhaust outlets having connecting
flanges. Exhaust gases from the outlet can be routed away to desired location.
•For up to 3 meter distance exhaust pipe size same as provided on the outlet can be used. For
longer lengths total exhaust system assessment should be done by competent person.
•In no case, exhaust back pressure should exceed 50 mm of Mercury Column when measured
at exhaust manifold of engine, at rated load.
•Be sure that all pipes are well supported and that springs or other dampers are used at points
of high vibration.
•Due to the heat radiation of the exhaust pipes it is recommended that all pipes be located at
least 250 mm from any combustible material.
•Wrapping the exhaust pipes with high temperature insulation or installing fitted insulated
sections will aid in preventing excessive heat radiation within the room.

C-24
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•At points where the piping passes through a wall or roof, a metal thimble guard 300 mm in
diameter slightly larger than the pipe should be installed.
•Bevel the end of the pipe at a 30 - 45 degree angle. Should the pipe end be horizontal, bevel
the pipe from the top back to the bottom. This will not only reduce the noise levels at the outlet
but will also minimize entrance of precipitation on horizontal pipes.

Figure C - 19: End of Exhaust Pipe


•The level or height at which the outlet is situated should be sufficient to prevent fumes and
odours from becoming an annoyance or potential hazard. Also, an exhaust pressure actuated
raincap is recommended for use on vertical outlet pipes.
•Any long horizontal or vertical piping should include water legs and drain traps at their lowest
points so that water does not reach either the silencer or the engine. It is also recommended
that a slight slope downward from the silencer to the water leg or rain trap be added to assure
the proper removal of water.
•By locating the silencer as close to the engine as possible you will be able to minimize the
noise level in the exhaust piping.
•Each genset installation should have it’s own exhaust system and should not be connected to
a system accommodating more than one genset as the possibility of exhaust gas and
condensation back-flow may cause permanent damage to an idle engine.

Health Warning
•Inhalation of exhaust fumes is potentially lethal.
•The correct installation of exhaust systems to prevent accumulation of exhaust gas cannot be
overemphasized.
•Additionally, prolonged exposure to engine exhaust noise can be damaging to hearing.
•A genset should never be operated without a fully installed exhaust system and all personnel
in close vicinity should wear ear protection.

C-25
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C10.5.2 Flexible Connections

The exhaust piping should be connected via a flexible joint located on the engine exhaust
outlet.
This connection serves three purposes.
-It relieves some of the weight of the exhaust piping from the engine.
-It isolates the exhaust system from vibration.
-It allows for some movement of either the genset or exhaust system components.

Long piping runs should be divided into sections separated by additional flexible connections.
This will also compensate for the expansion and contraction of the piping itself due to
temperature change. Any insulation material used for a flexible connection should allow for the
expansion and contraction of the connections, due to temperature changes.

C10.6 Fire Precautions

Note the following points when designing a genset installation:


•The room should be designed so that there is an easy escape route for operating personnel in
the event of fire within the room.
•A recommended type of fire extinguisher or fire extinguishing system should be provided to
fight the fire.
•Personnel manning the genset should be trained in identifying and fighting various types of
fires.
•Gravity operated fire valves operated by fusible links, mounted above the engine, can be
installed in the fuel lines.
•The room should be kept clean and free from accumulated rubbish which can be a fire
hazard.

C10.7 Electrical Connection

Only fully qualified and experienced electrical technicians should be allowed to carry out
electrical installation work.

Warning: Never attempt to work on live wiring. Always stop the genset and open
the circuit breaker on the load cables before working on the alternator or it’s
connectors. Disable starting of engine while working on genset.

•All electrical work should be carried out in accordance with any applicable National, Local
Standards, Codes or Regulations.
•The electrical connection to the genset should be made with flexible cable to prevent the
transmission of vibration and possible damage to the alternator or circuit breaker terminals.

C-26
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•If it is not convenient to use flexible cable throughout then a link box can be installed close to
the set with a flexible connection between it and the set.
•The cable may be laid in a duct or on cable tray. When bending cable reference must be
made to the recommended minimum bending radius. No rigid connection should be made
between the set and the cable support system, eg, cable tray.
•When single core cables are used the gland plates must be of non-ferrous material, eg,
aluminum, brass or a non- metallic material such as teflon.
•The cable must be suitable for the voltage being used and adequately sized to carry the rated
current with allowances made for ambient temperature, method of installation, proximity of
other cables, etc.
•All connections should be carefully checked for integrity. Phase rotation must be checked for
compatibility with the installation. This is vitally important when connection is made to an auto
transfer switch, or if the machine is to be paralleled.

C10.7.1 Earthing/Grounding

Earthing/Grounding should be done in accordance with applicable National, Local Code or


Regulation. These regulations vary and advice should be sought from the local supply utility to
comply with their requirements. The factory connects the frame of the alternator to the frame of
the genset therefore the complete mass of the genset is at the same potential. The connection
if required of the generator winding star point / neutral to earth is the responsibility of the
installation technicians.

Figure C - 20: Typical Earth Pit


•Any leakages in current will be earthed through the shortest route in the link.
•The size of the link used for the main earth connection should be adequate size as shown in
table.

625 - 750 kVA 50x6mm CU / 50x6mm GI 2 runs

•The generating set and all associated equipment must be earthed before the set is put into
operation.
•4 earth pits are required as per Indian electricity rule / local electricity regulations.
•2 earthing pits for genset / control panel body.
•2 earthing pits for neutral,
•Check the Resistance between 2 earth pits.
•Earthing in Rocks and Rocky area to done using grounding Transformers / Zig Zag
Transformers or Use soil conditioning agents - Marconite conductive aggregate and bentonite
moisture retaining clay on Earth electrode back fill.
•Each earth pit to be separated by five times of its depth.
•Earthing resistance must be less than 3 ohms.

C10.7.2 Protection

The cables connecting the genset with the distribution system should be protected by means of
a circuit breaker or fuses to disconnect the output in case of overload or short circuit.

C10.7.3 Loading

When planning the distribution system it is important to ensure that the genset has a balanced
load. Loading one phase excessively as compared to other two phases this will cause
overheating in the alternator windings, imbalance in the phase to phase voltage output and
possible damage to sensitive 3 phase equipment connected to the system. Ensure that no
phase current exceeds that of the current rating of the genset.
Reorganizing an electrical distribution system may be necessary if a genset is to be connected
to an existing installation.

C10.7.4 Power Factor

Determine the power factor (cos phi) of the connected loads while ordering the genset. Power
factors below 0.8 will overload the generator. The genset will provide its kilowatt rating and will
operate satisfactorily from 0.8 to unity power factor. Particular attention must be given to
installation with automatic or manual power factor correction equipment to ensure that a
leading power factor is not present under any conditions. This will lead to voltage instability on
the generator output and may result in damaging overvoltages.

C-28
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C10.8 Noise Control

The genset is available with accessories and components that reduce noise emissions. These
include residential and super critical silencers, acoustic louvers, splitter vents, fan silencers
and acoustically treated canopies.
The requirements for each site vary enormously and for any critical installation KOEL
recommends a consultation with the dealer at an early stage. The information needed to select
acoustic equipment is:

•The model and capacity of genset


•The designed noise level at a fixed distance, normally 1m or 7m.
• Environmental conditions, ambient temperature etc.
•The location and overall site plan.

Noise emissions from diesel gensets (without acoustic treatment) are at sound pressure levels
of between 100 dB(A) and 110 dB (A) at 1m. Kirloskar Gensets with acoustic canopies have a
typical noise pressure level of 75 dB(A) or less (average) at a distance of 1 meter from the
canopy.
Intermediate levels of treatment will prove more economic and are often satisfactory depending
only on the nature and type of installation. Hospital Care Areas will require more attention than
the normal commercial / industrial installation.

C10.9 Pre-commissioning Checks

Pre - commissioning checks will be conducted by the supplier’s commissioning team.


•Before starting the DG set, ensure that it is positioned on a level surface so that proper liquid
levels can be obtained. This is especially important for mobile or vehicle mounted gensets.
•Ensure that the top of the canopy does not accumulate rain water. If the foundations are

absolutely flat, a 1o slope is built into the design of canopy to ensure drainage of water.
•Hardware:
-Open the doors of the genset on both sides and check the tightness of all the fixing
hardware of the various systems.
-Tighten, if found loose.
-Check all hardware on engine- alternator coupling, mountings, fan and radiator mounting.
•Hose check:
-Check proper fitting of Fuel hose. Air hose and Exhaust hose.
•Bellow alignment:
-Check correct alignment of the expansion joint or bellow on the exhaust line.
•Leakage:
-Check for damage on the canopy and for openings on canopy roof which might lead to
water and sound leakage.

C-29

-A ladder is provided for the easy accessibility of radiator cap for filling the coolant.
-Ensure proper coolant level in the compensation tank.
•Battery:
-Ensure that the battery used is of correct rating and is connected with the right polarity.
•Cable routing:
-Check whether the power and the control cables are properly routed and secured with
cable ties.
•Cleanliness:
-Ensure that the inside and outside of the genset is dry and clean.
-Remove stains with diesel oil and clean up any oil spillage mark on the floor of the
canopy.
-Ensure that no debris is left inside the canopy which could clog moving parts or become a
fire hazard.

•Switch off the Control Panel.

C10.11 AMF Operation

•Unlike Manual Mode operation, AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) panel is active all the time.
•If mains supply is in limits, the panel connects that feeder to load through mains contactors.
•If mains supply is out of limits (or failed), the AMF panel deselect the mains supply and starts
the genset.
•Once the genset is running, the AMF panel connects the load to alternator through the genset
contactors.
•While the genset feeds the load, the AMF panel monitors mains supply for a return back to
normalcy.
•Once the mains supply restores, the genset transfers load back to mains feeder and shuts the
genset after elapsing of cool down timing.
•AMF panel also monitors engine safety parameters for genset.

C10.11.1 Activating AMF

•Before activating, ensure people and material/tools are clear of the engine. Ensure that no
mishap could occur once the load is charged from either mains or genset supplies.

C12. Optional Equipment

C12.1 Battery Charger

A mains powered battery charger is recommended for gensets meant for Non-AMF standby
duty. This is especially important if the genset does not run often. The battery charger will
ensure that the battery is kept in the peak condition for quickly starting the genset when
required. The battery charger has automatic charge control, thus avoiding overcharging of the
battery.
In case of AMF genset, a mains powered battery charger is usually built in the panel.

C12.2 Heater

C12.2.1 Engine Heater Plug

To ease cold weather starting, a 12 VDC heater plug is fitted to the inlet manifold. This heater
plug is energized for a preset interval before cranking the engine. The passage of electrical
current through the heater plug heats the device and the air inside the inlet manifold. The 12
VDC supply to the heater plug should be switched off during cranking to ensure maximum
battery capacity for the starter motor. Ensure that the heater plug is not energized when the
engine is running.

C12.2.2 Anti-condensation Heater

Alternators are offered with heaters to prevent condensation, These heaters are fitted to the
alternator stator winding. These operate at a relatively low temperature and do not require a
thermostat. These heaters should be switched off when the genset is running. An external AC
power supply is required to power these heaters.

C12.3 Electronic Governor

Genset engines are available with Electronic Governors to closely regulate engine speeds and
therefore output frequency. Electronic Governor is recommended for gensets powering critical
loads and also when two or more gensets are required to run in synchronisation.

C-38
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

C13. Maintenance
A good maintenance programme is essential for long genset life. Please find a program that
should keep your machine in top running condition. Also included in this programme are
routine maintenance operations required for the engine and alternator (see Engine
Maintenance and Alternator Maintenance Sections).
It is good practice to have all of the maintenance and service operations performed by trained
personnel familiar with genset maintenance. This, along with a good service records system,
should aid in developing an efficient maintenance program. The service records of each genset
should include information such as complete nameplate data with model and serial numbers,
all drawing and wiring diagrams, spare parts stock lists, as well as a service schedule and a
copy of this manual. These records will allow quick reference and may help to diagnose a
problem in the future.

C13.1 Daily Maintenance

Perform this maintenance before every start up. If the genset is used for standby applications
with little running, these procedures may be required after longer periods like every weekly.
to weekly.

•Make a visual check of the entire genset. Watch for signs of potential leaks from the engine
fuel system, cooling system or lubrication seals.
•Check the alternator for obstructions in the cooling air ventilation screens.
•Check the alternator and control box for heavy accumulation of dust and dirt. Clean any
heavy accumulations as electrical hazards, as well as cooling problems could arise.
•Check the air cleaner. Clean or replace if necessary.
•Check the fuel level.
•Check the engine coolant level (in case of liquid cooled engines).
•Be sure that the radiator air flow or blower air flow is not obstructed.
•Check the condition of the blower, fan and alternator belts and their tension.
•Check all hose connections and hose conditions.
•Check the engine oil level.Maintain the level at ‘H’ mark, top up if level is low.
•Check the battery terminals for corrosion.
•Check the battery electrolyte level and fill with distilled water if necessary.
•Ensure cleanliness around genset. Dispose of any unnecessary items in the vicinity of the
genset that may inhibit operation or represent cause of potential injury.
•Refer to the engine maintenance section for specific engine maintenance requirements.
•Start the genset after all checks have been made.
•Drain condensate traps in the exhaust system, if so equipped, and check for exhaust leaks.
•Check for any abnormal noise or vibration.
•Check for leakage of air, fuel, oil or coolant.

C-39
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•Check the control panel for indications of abnormal operation.

C13.1.1 Maintenance every Six Months or 250 Hours

•Repeat the daily maintenance checks.


•Check all safety devices by electrically simulating a fault to ensure that all systems will
function properly in the event of a fault.
•Clean all battery cap vents.
•Start the genset and observe the readings for all parameters are within limits.
•Tighten all exhaust connections.
•Tighten all electrical connections.
•Check and adjust belt tension of Blower assembly. Replace belt if not in good condition.
•Do external cleaning of Charge Air Cooler fins and coiling.
•Refer to the engine maintenance section, for further details.

C13.1.2 Alternator Unit Cleaning

The alternator unit should be cleaned inside and out on a regular basis. The frequency of such
cleaning depends on the environmental conditions of the operating site. The following
procedure should be applied when cleaning is necessary:-
•Disconnect all power.
•Wipe dust, oil, water or any other liquids from the external surfaces of the alternator unit. All of
these materials can work their way into the windings and may cause overheating or insulation
breakdown.
•Remove these same materials from the ventilation screens around the circumferences of the
unit. Do not permit such material to accumulate on these screens as this will obstruct air flow.
Such debris is best removed with a vacuum cleaner to avoid redepositing of these materials
on other parts of the equipment.
•DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, STEAM OR A HIGH PRESSURE WATER CLEANER.
•Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the windings of the alternator unit. This will remove dust from
the coils that cannot be reached with a wiping cloth.

C14. Control System


Most diesel gensets work fully or partially without continuous human supervision. This
necessitates an electrical and electronic control system that ensures safe operation for the
genset all the time.

The Control System has several design objectives, some or all of which may be present on a
particular genset:

C-40
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

• Means of starting and stopping the Generator Set on user’s command.


•Detect various conditions like failure of mains or restoration of main for starting or stopping
genset automatically.
•Monitor and display engine and genset parameters.
•Compare engine and genset parameters against set levels to ensure operation within safe
limits.
•If the parameters deviate from the set levels, generate alarms to warn the operator.
•If the parameters exceed another set of levels, automatically trip (shut down) the genset to
protect the installation, load and personnel.
•Typical conditions for alarm and trip condition are low oil pressure, high coolant temperature,
over speed, under speed, low coolant level, low fuel level etc.

C14.1 Control Panel

The genset are provided with a control panel with the following typical components:

•Electronic unit that provide logic to control genset,


•Gauges for displaying engine and genset parameters.
•Termination for sensor wires from engine.
•Termination for solenoid and relay outputs to engine.
•Termination for alternator incoming supply.
•Termination for load.
•Fuses and circuit breakers
•Alternator Circuit Breaker for connecting the generator output to load and automatically
disconnecting the load in case of overload or short circuit.
•Mains and Genset contactors.
•Battery charger.

C14.1.1 AMF panel

Auto Mains Failure (AMF) panel contains electronic logic for automating genset operation
including transferring power from mains to genset and vice-versa without human intervention.

AMF logic performs the following functions:

•Senses mains supply parameters for operation within set parameters.


•If mains supply is acceptable, the AMF logic selects the mains contactor and the load is
charged from mains feeder.
•If the mains supply goes out of set parameter limits, the AMF logic deselects the mains
contactor and starts the genset.

C-41
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•Once the genset is running and the parameters are within set limits, the AMF logic selects
genset contactor to charge load from genset feeder.
•AMF logic displays the engine and electrical parameters while the genset is running.
•The AMF logic monitors genset safety to ensure operation within limits
•The AMF logic also monitors mains feeder for a return back to normalcy.
•Once mains restores, the AMF logic deselects the genset contactor and selects the mains
contactor to charge load from mains feeder.
•The AMF logic shuts the genset down in the prescribed sequence and restarts the monitoring
of mains feeder for operation within safe limits.
•The AMF logic offer several timers that add delays necessary for correct operation.

C14.1.2 Non-AMF panel

Non-AMF panel provides basic genset safety and display functions. The task of starting,
stopping of genset as well as selecting between mains and genset feeder is done by the
operator.

C15. KG EMS934 Controller


This electronic controller provides all the logic for AMF and Non-AMF panels, for single phase
as well as three phase gensets.

C15.1 Technical Overview

C15.10 Alarms and Warnings

In the event of abnormal operating conditions the unit will issue a warning of an impending
alarm, then an alarm if a failure is detected. The genset is then shut down. The LCD shows an
appropriate message indicating the nature of the condition. To draw operator attention to the
condition the flashing general alarm LED is used.
In most cases, Warnings do not stop the genset and are self resetting. Alarms will normally
stop the genset and require the operator to clear the alarm by pressing the Stop or Hooter
button. The genset can not be started if an alarm exists.
•Warnings are indicated by slow flashing of the alarm LED and displaying the appropriate
message on the LCD as follows.
•Alarms are indicated by fast flashing of the ALARM LED and displaying the appropriate

C15.14 Outputs Electrical Specification

Table 23: 8.Outputs Electrical Specification

Output Type Comment

Excitation Current 200mA burst mode pulsed current controlled output.

Fuel Solenoid Open Drain 300mA Open Drain protected coil drive. Max
36VDC. This output is used to maintain the fuel
solenoid activated for running or stopping duty.

Crank Open Drain This output is used to control the crank relay coil.
The crank relay should be sized for the crank
contactor current. It is recommended that the crank
relay is located in the wiring loom near to the starter
motor. This position removes the need for high
current wiring to the control box and thus leads to
lower cost.

Output 1 to Output 4 Open Drain 300mA Open Drain protected coil drive. Max
36VDC. This output is used to switch the load from
the mains.

C15.15 Load Transfer and Contactor Operation

The unit provides for both Mains and Generator contactor control even though in many
applications this function will not be used, instead an MCB is used to switch the generator to
and from the load. Contactor outputs are controlled in both Manual and Auto operating modes.

The Mains contactor output can be setup to deactivate the Mains contactor in several ways

-"Immediately when the start button is pressed or the autostart input is activated.
-"A short delay after the start request
-"When the genset is running and able to take load.

The Generator contactor output will activate only after the Mains contactor has opened and
only when the genset able to take load. The timing is controlled by the XFR DELAY
configuration setting.

If the genset was started by activating the Autostart input, then deactivating the input will move
the sequence to the "Run On" sequence then to the"Cool Down" sequence. During cool down
the Generator contactor output is deactivated and after a delay the Mains Contactor output is
controlled to re-activate the Mains contactor.

C15.16 Speed Sensing

The unit can obtain speed information from one of four sources.
C-62
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

-Magnetic pickup unit (MPU)


-Generator output 50/60Hz if used for genset control (internally connected from GL1)
-Battery charging alternator

C15.16.1 MPU

The magnetic pickup unit counts teeth on the flywheel and is mounted in the bell housing. It is
important to ensure the gap between the MPU face and the teeth is 1mm to 2mm, as this
distance greatly affects the output of the MPU. The unit requires a minimum of 3VRMS at low
speed to ensure proper crank disconnect. Setup requires calculating the number pulses per 10
revolutions and the calculated number is then entered into the menu system "Cal Value".

Calculate: Number of Teeth x 10 = Speed Pulses Per 10 Revolutions.


Eg: 125 teeth x 10 = 1250.
Enter the number 1250.

C15.16.2 Generator

If the unit is used in a genset application the speed source can be the generator 50/60 Hz
output and is connected internally within the unit from the AC input connectors. AC should NOT
be connected directly to the speed MPU / Magneto input. For correct crank disconnect the
generator must be providing a detectable output at low speed and therefore the voltage at 300
RPM must be greater than 40VRMS. This can be affected by the AVR and must be confirmed
to provide suitable signals and timing for proper crank disconnect.

For setup the number of pulses per 10 revolutions must be calculated and entered into the
menu system "Cal Value". The generator output frequency and standard RPM must be known.

Calculate Speed Calibration value as follows:


Cal Value = (Freq x 600) / RPM.
Eg: (50Hz x 600) / 1500 = 20
Enter the number 20.

C15.16.3 Battery Charging Alternator

A low cost speed source can be derived from the battery-charging alternator if fitted. It
unfortunately is also the most troublesome, and not recommended for reliable and repeatable
long-term service. The difficulties arise from the in-exact relationship of alternator output
frequency and engine RPM. As a result of slippage and variable mechanical coupling both
calibration and long-term stability are compromised.

The ratio of crank pulley to alternator pulley is indeterminate, as it depends very significantly on
where the coupling belt rides in the V grove. Belt tension plays a very significant role, as does
belt wear and instantaneous belt loading.

C-63
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Immediately after starting an engine the alternator is required to re-charge the partially
discharged battery. The loading on the alternator is very high and belt slippage is common as is
belt set low in the V groove. The output frequency may be lower than expected. If speed
calibration is performed at this time, the speed representation will be too low and subsequently
as the load reduces on the alternator, the engine speed will appear to erroneously increase.

The battery charging alternator output frequency and current RPM must be known. This is
achieved by independently running the engine, and measuring the battery charging alternator
frequency on the W (sometimes D+) terminal. Excitation must also be provided to ensure self-
excitation and an adequate output signal. Some small variation in reported speed may result
but this can be calibrated out later during engine commissioning. For setup the number of
pulses per 10 revolutions must be calculated and entered into the menu system "Cal Value".

Calculate Speed Calibration value as follows:


Cal Value = (Freq x 600) / RPM.
Eg: (257Hz x 600) / 1500 = 102.8.
Enter the number 103.

C15.17 Battery Charging Alternator Excitation

The battery charging alternator excitation system is implemented using a burst mode pulse
system. This ensures reliable self-excitation while managing current consumption during
standby, heat dissipation during fault conditions, and pulsing the battery-charging alternator
prior to cranking for improved speed signal output.

During standby and Ready, the alternator excitation is pulsed once per minute to maintain
some level of residual magnetism in the alternator but still maintaining minimum power
consumption. On receiving a start signal, the unit pulses the alternator excitation input with a
burst of 200mA pulses.

The pulse width is dependent on the battery voltage. This pulse burst establishes a definite
magnetic field in the battery-charging alternator prior to cranking. This ensures a significant
speed-sensing signal is generated for crank disconnect sensing.

The alternator excitation is turned off and the engine is cranked without the usual alternator
burden loading the cranking process. This aids easier starting. When the engine has fired and
is running, more 200mA pulse bursts are applied. Given the alternator is rotating at more than
the 3000RPM the alternator will achieve self-excitation.

If self-excitation is not achieved this process will repeat for a few seconds before the excitation
failed warning is given.

C-64
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

Alternator excitation may also be used as a secondary crank disconnect signal for the case
where the speed signal has failed immediately the engine starts to run. This feature can be
disabled if not required by setting "Excite Dis" to NO.
For systems where a battery-charging alternator is not fitted, turning off the excitation warning
will disable the excitation system.

C15.18 Battery Voltage Monitoring and Charging Detection

A battery is considered charged if (assuming a 12V system. x2 for 24V) its terminal voltage is
above 13.1Volts. Typically a fully charged battery has a terminal voltage of 13.6V, above this
and the battery is being overcharged. During cranking the large discharge current will reduce
the battery terminal voltage below 12.5V and the battery cannot increase the terminal voltage
again without the assistance of a charger. This sequence provides a useful mechanism to
determine if a battery is being actively charged.

Many applications have a current meter to show charging current. Such meters provide very
limited value as a good battery will recover its terminal voltage very quickly and then be
maintained with a very low level of trickle current. This trickle current is usually too small a
percentage of the current meters range to provide any useful information.

The unit constantly measures the battery terminal voltage and can detect proper charging and
discharging performance. Voltage readings are taken and compared against an inbuilt voltage
profile. If the battery terminal voltage falls outside the critical voltages for each action then a
battery warning is indicated.

During standby, and particularly where an on line charger is not available, monitoring the health
of the battery is vital. The unit regularly wakes and measures the battery voltage, if it falls below
the set point a warning is issued to ensure the operator is aware of the need for battery
recharging.

Excite Lock Out The unit has detected that Excitation is present with the engine not
running. This warning prevents the engine from attempting to crank
with the engine potentially running. This warning can sometimes be
caused by ripple generated by mains powered battery chargers.

AutoStart On The unit has detected an Autostart signal when not in auto mode,
indicating the engine needs to be started in Auto mode.

Low Oil Pressure The Oil Pressure has dropped below the Oil Pressure Warning set
point while the engine is running. The Oil Pressure Icon is lit.

High Engine Temp Engine/liquid temperature has exceeded the high temperature
High Water Temp warning set point after the Temperature monitoring delay has
expired.

High Canopy Temp Canopy Temperature was activated after the Temperature monitoring
delay has expired.

Low Fuel Level Fuel level is less than the warning set point.

Fuel Level Flt The unit has detected that the fuel sender is open circuit. This is only
a warning, and will not shut down the engine

No Speed Signal A speed signal could not be detected after the engine had started

Depending on the type of engine, the fuel pump may be In-line or Rotary type.

D3.4.1 In-line Fuel Pump

Fuel is supplied to In-line Fuel by an in built feed pump. A set of fuel filters ensures the supply
of clean fuel to the In-Line fuel pump. The pump creates a high pressure stream of diesel that
is led to the individual engine cylinders through high pressure pipes. The pump has a Stopping
Lever that helps stop the engine when required. The pump also has an Accelerating Lever that
sets the engine speed.

D3.4.1.1 Rotary Fuel Pump

Some engines are fitted with Rotary Fuel Pump. Fuel is supplied to the Rotary fuel pump by a
fuel lift pump (feed pump) a spin-on fuel filter ensures the supply of clean fuel to the rotary fuel
pump.

Figure D - 17: Rotary Fuel Pump

The schematic diagram below shows the fuel circuit of the engine.If fuel tank is installed below
fuel pump level, then the bottom level of fuel tank should be less than 1 meter below the feed
pump inlet. Fuel pipe from fuel tank to feed pump should be of 9mm I.D.

D-16
Operational and Maintenance Manual:

Figure D - 18: Parts of Rotary Fuel Pump

D3.5 Engine Cooling System

Air cooling for the engine is achieved by quiet, highly efficient and integral axial blower that has
sufficient reserve capacity to cope up with high ambient temperatures. The blower is driven by
the engine crankshaft pulley through V-belts. The V-belts tension is maintained by belt
tensioning unit.
Air flow from the blower is directed on the liners and cylinder heads by detachable sheet metal
lower & upper cowlings.

Figure D - 19: Cooling Air Flow

D3.6 Air System

Engine requires fresh, clean, cool, and sufficient quantity of air to burn the fuel and deliver
satisfactory performance. Use of clean air avoids unnecessary wear and tear of engine
component. Your engine may look different from the ones illustrated in this manual.

Figure D - 20: Air Inlet System


Depending on the type of engine, an Air System consist of Air Cleaner or Air Filter, various
Hoses, Turbocharger, Intercooler and Air Inlet Manifold. A simple engine uses basic natural
aspiration while more complex and powerful engines have Turbocharger and/or Intercooler.

•The Air Intake draws in cool air from the atmosphere.


•The air is then cleaned in the Air Filter which separates heavier particles in air by a swirling
action.
•Subsequently, a fine paper element inside the AIr Filter screens the smaller particles from the
air.
•This clean air gets compressed by the Turbocharger. The compression of air also raises its
temperature, which is detrimental to the performance of engine.
•This compressed but hot air is cooled by the Intercooler which is a variety of heat exchanger.
•The Intercooler receives a cooling draft of air from the blower. The cooled and compressed air
from the output of Intercooler enables the engine to deliver maximum output over a variety of
altitudes.

D3.6.1 Dry type Air Cleaner

Figure shows the construction of dry type air cleaner used on HA series engines. Dry type Air
Filters are used in heavy duty engines. The filtration efficiency of Dry type air cleaner is 98.9 -
99.9%. Generally two elements are used in this type of air cleaner - Main element & Safety
element.
Restriction indicator is provided for all dry type air cleaners. Cleaning of filter element is
required when restriction indicator shows red signal even after engine has stopped.

D3.7 Exhaust System

The Exhaust System is necessary to direct exhaust gases to non confined areas and reduce
the noise level to tolerable level. Exhaust system should exert minimum back pressure on
engine. Exhaust back pressure should be restricted to less than 50 mm of Hg.

Exhaust system consist of exhaust manifold, adaptor & exhaust silencer. Exhaust piping
should be lagged to avoid injury to operating personnel. Total length of exhaust pipe should not

D-19
Operational and Maintenance Manual:

exceed 15 meters and should have maximum of four right angle bends. Avoid using elbows.
Increase pipe I.D. by 1.5” after every 5 meter length of exhaust pipe. Expansion bellows &
flexible pipes should be installed between engine and exhaust piping.

The exhaust pipe outlet should be bent so that outgoing exhaust gases are not recirculated.
The exhaust pipe outlet should be bent in the direction of wind and the end should be cut at an
angle of 45 degrees.There should be rain trap to avoid rain water entry. If rain cap is used the
distance between exhaust pipe and rain cap should be 2.5 times diameter of exhaust pipe.

E3. Operating Principle

E3.1 Standard Brushless AC Generator

1.In this generator there is a separate source to AVR from a small permanent magnet A.C.
generator mounted on the same shaft as the main machine. Refer Figure E - 2 on page 5.
2.The permanent magnet produces an output voltage that is only dependent on speed and is
independent of load conditions. This constant output voltage is fed to the exciter field winding
through the AVR.
3.By comparing the main output ‘sensed’ voltage with the ‘set reference’ voltage, the AVR
decides on the proportion of permanent magnet machine output to rectify and feed to the exciter
field.
4.The exciter rotor output would then increase, established a strong main field and therefore a
marked increase in main output voltage.
5.The AVR senses and compares voltages and adjusts exciter field excitation until desired
output voltage is developed. In this way the main stator voltage is progressively built up until the
‘sensed’ voltage is the same as the ‘set reference’ voltage.

E3.3 Advantages Of PMG Excitation System:

E- 5
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•Better motor starting characteristics with lower transient voltage dips.


•Better co-ordination with relay under sustained short circuit condition.
•Since the Power to AVR is supplied from the PMG, isolation from AC Generator output
terminals, harmonic currents from the load are prevented from passing to the AVR. This
reduces output voltage distortion.
•The process of initial voltage build up is very positive in this system, as residual magnetism is
no longer continually depended upon.

E6. Derating Factors

E6.1 Temperature

These AC Generators are designed for an ambient temperature of 40°C. For other applications
where the ambient temperature is greater than 40°C, the AC Generators must be de-rated to
ensure that the actual temperature does not exceed the specified limit.
Outputs are normally quoted at 40°C. These outputs must be multiplied by the following factors
for higher ambient temperatures.

50 0.94

55 0.91

60 0.88

E6.2 Altitude

Above 1000 m the effectiveness of the air is reduced sufficiently to make de-rating necessary.
For altitudes above 1000 m outputs must be multiplied by the following factors.

E6.3 Power Factor

Standard AC Generators are suitable for 0.8 pf lag to UPF loads. Power factor below 0.8 lag
causes heating of the AC Generator. The A C Generator output must be multiplied by the
following factors for lower PF.

Leading pf loads cause rise in terminal voltage which may subsequently harm the AVR and the
loads. Please refer to works in case of leading pf loads.

E7. Selection of AC Generators


This section deals with selection of AC Generators to suit various loads.

The different types of load encountered by an AC Generators can be broadly classified as


a) Linear Loads.
b) Motor Loads (part of linear loads, considered separately).
c) Non-linear Loads.

E7.1 Linear Loads

•Constant load impedance regardless of applied voltage.

E- 9
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

•he load current increases proportionately as the voltage increases and decreases as the
voltage decreases.

Examples of linear loads are motor, incandescent lamp and heating loads.

E7.2 Linear Loads

To select the rating of AC Generator for linear loads the maximum connected load and the
base load which is always connected has to be considered. In arriving at a total load figure is
always wise to select the standard rating larger than that estimated. This despite the fact that
all the loads may not be operating at the same time hence a smaller machine could have been
selected. Future operating conditions and future growth are very difficult to estimate. An
allowance of 15% to 20% excess capacity designed into a set now is a small price to pay
compared with the cost of completely new larger unit that may be required to drive additional
loads in a few years time.

E7.3 Power Factor

It is the nature of the applied load that dictates the system power factor.
1.The loads which operate at or very close to unity (1.0) power factor include most forms of
lighting, all heating elements, rectifier and thyristor type loads & all domestic loads which are
fractional hp motors (washing machine, refrigerator, etc.).
2.For all remaining load types, some knowledge of operating power factor is required, which for
motors depends a great deal on their size and power rating.
Kirloskar Green (KG) A C Generators perform satisfactorily at any power factor in the range of
0.8 p.f lag to unity. For p.f operation at leading low power factor Please refer back to works.

E7.4 Motor Loads

During the starting of an induction motor, a very large current is demanded from the power
source, which is known as the starting or locked rotor current. For better sizing of AC
Generators, the following guidelines can be referred to.

Auto Transformer: At 40% Tapping 1.1

At 60% Tapping 2.5

At 80% Tapping 4.5

E - 10
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset

For motor applications the following information should be furnished:

a) Rating of the motor/ motors.


b) Type of the motor (slip ring / squirrel cage).
c) Method of starting.
d) Rated full load current.
e) Starting power factor.
f) Any restriction on Transient Voltage Dip? (Details of the same).
g) Frequency at starting.
h) Base load at the time of starting induction motor.
i) Any other load apart from the motor loads? (Details there of).
j) Sequence of starting of motors.

E7.5 Non Linear Loads

Over a period of time the loads applied to AC generators have become more complex and
more care has to be exercised in the sizing of the generators to ensure satisfactory
performance.

E7.6 Characteristics of Non Linear Loads

a) A non linear load is one in which the load current is not proportional to the instantaneous
voltage. Often the load current is not continuous.
b) These are essentially electronic loads such as computers, UPS equipments and variable
speed motor drives.

E7.7 Effects Of Non Linear Loads

a) Non linear loads generate harmonics in their current waveform which in turn leads to
distortion of the AC generator waveform. Depending upon the degree of voltage waveform
distortion this can lead to instability of the excitation systems and impact on other loads being
supplied by the generator.
b) Odd order harmonics cause heating of neutral conductors.

E7.8 Deration for Non Linear Loads

The above percentage figures are guidelines. There may be a problem with electronic load,
trying to cope with distorted waveform if distortion levels are unacceptable to the load.

Variable speed 6 pulse thyristor Non linear load should not exceed 35% of AC

Better sizing of machine is possible on furnishing following information:


a) Number of pulses of Thyristor drive: 3, 6, or 12.
b) Level of harmonic distortion produced by the non-linear load.
c) What is the maximum acceptable level of voltage distortion the Non-linear load can accept?
d) Operating voltage and frequency.
e) If Non-linear load power requirement is stated in kW, then some guidance regarding
operating power factor & system efficiency is required to establish the AC Generator load.
With the information, guidance should be sought from the factory regarding AC Generator
sizing for compatible equipment operation.
