Generator Troubleshooting and Problem Diagnosis

 
Failure Situation Possible Reason Solution
1. The Engine Cannot Be Started or Is Difficult to Start insufficient battery voltage
  1. check the battery charger
  2. check if the battery level is normal
  3. check if the battery is fully charged
  4. check whether the battery voltage is abnormal
  5. replace the battery
daily fuel tank switch not turned on
  1. open the oil line ball valve and drain the air in the oil line.
there is air in the diesel line
  1. carry out the operation of exhausting the air, exhaust the air in the pipeline, and then carry out the start-up test.
diesel filter clogged change filter
loose control wiring or open circuit check wiring
autostart plate failure replacement or repair
start subsidy relay failure replace
starter motor failure remove for testing or repair
internal damage to the engine please check with the original technician
governor failure please check with the original technician
2. The Engine Cannot Be Stopped After Starting autostart plate failure replacement or repair
loose control wiring or open circuit check wiring
engine governor failure please check with the original technician
engine stop solenoid switch failure replacement or repair
3. Insufficient Engine Horsepower diesel system has air check the diesel pipeline for leaks and tighten the screws
diesel filter clogged change filter
air filter clogged change filter
diesel fuel is of poor quality or contains moisture replace
insufficient rated speed (insufficient frequency) corrected frequency value
too much engine oil check the oil and correct it if too much
load has exceeded engine horsepower reduce load current
4. The Engine Smoke Is Not Normal too much engine oil check the oil and correct it if too much
engine temperature is too low wait until the engine temperature rises to normal before loading
crankcase pressure too high engine breather net blocked, clear it
load overload reduce load current
diesel fuel is of poor quality or contains moisture check and replace
injector failure or carbon deposition injector calibration
5. Abnormal Engine Sound injector clogged injector calibration
incorrect valve clearance adjust valve clearance
inlet and exhaust steam leakage after inspection, lock the pipeline
engine operating temperature is abnormal check ambient ambient temperature and engine temperature
6. Engine Water Temperature Is Too High insufficient cooling water check the cooling water in the water tank
there is air in the cooling water pipe air in the discharge line
blocked radiator fins remove debris and wash
fan belt is broken or not tight enough replace or adjust
blocked or twisted cooling water lines update after checking or contact the original factory
cooling water thermometer malfunction replace
broken fan replace
7. Engine Oil Pressure Is Too Low insufficient oil, not up to standard add oil
oil filter clogged replace
engine temperature is too high refer to failure scenario 6
oil pump failure contact the original factory
oil pressure gauge failure replace
8. After The Generator Set Is Started, There Is No AC Output power circuit breaker not turned on open
AVR failure contact the original factory
diode fault in generator head replace
instrument failure replace
9. The Generator Set Cannot Be Started After A Power Failure engine won't start refer to failure case 1
the power outage time is too short (fake power outage) the power failure time is too short, and the generator does not start when the engine delay start time is not reached
ATS does not send a signal to start the generator ATS failure, repair
the remote control circuit between ATS and generator set is loose or disconnected check wiring
10. The Alternator Is Abnormal voltage is too high adjust the voltage adjustment knob
voltage is too low adjust the voltage adjustment knob
voltage swing is unstable adjust the "Stable Adjustment" of AVR
load current is too high reduce load current
capacitors on the load side turn off the capacitor
11. Abnormal Shutdown of The Generator Set low oil pressure shutdown
  1. check the oil dipstick for sufficient oil
  2. whether there is oil leakage or damage on the cylinder wall
  3. check whether the oil pressure switch operates normally
high water temperature shutdown
  1. check the cooling water tank and cooling water pipeline for leaks.
  2. check that the water level is sufficient.
  3. check whether the water temperature switch function works normally.
High (low) speed shutdown
  1. Check whether the frequency and RPM readings are too high or too low after the engine is started.
overload shutdown
  1. test with less equipment used.
  2. avoid multiple devices starting at the same time.
overcurrent shutdown
  1. check whether there is any abnormality at the equipment side (motor).
  2. test with less equipment used.
  3. avoid multiple devices starting at the same time.
high (low) voltage shutdown
  1. check whether the three-phase voltage of the generator is abnormal.
  2. adjust the manual voltage adjustment knob of the AVR automatic voltage regulator.
battery high (low) voltage warning
  1. check the battery charger
  2. check if the battery level is normal
  3. check if the battery is fully charged
  4. check whether the battery voltage is abnormal
  5. replace the battery
