How can we measure and monitor critical performance parameters of Diesel Generator Sets, both elec..

We can measure & monitoring bellows points

A) Engine Related
1) Engine RPM
2) Engine oil Pressure
3) Engine oil temperature
4) Coolant level
5) Coolant temp
6) Governor characteristics
7) Battery charger status
8) Battery charging current & its voltage.
9) Engine running HRS
10) Fuel quantity
11) We can monitor like bellow mentioned alarms
a) Starting failure alarm
b) Charger failure alarm
c) Engine over speed alarm
d) Low engine oil pressure alarm
e) Low coolant level alarm
f) Low DC voltage (Battery Voltage)alarm

B) Alternator related (Electrical)
1) Voltage (line to line & line to neutral)
2) Kw
3) KVA
4) Frequency
5) Amps
6) KW Hrs
7) Pf
We can monitor like bellow mentioned alarms
a) Acb Breaker fail to close alarm
b) Over voltage alarm.

These we can Monitor at computer through software & modbus
converter. Rs 485 0r Rs 232

Answer / guest

Critical parameters of engine are:
1. Max. torque or breakdown torque
2. max. speed and minimum speed.
3. speed reduction with % of full load.
4.max. working temperature.
5.speed governor charaterestics.

and that of alternator is:

1. starting ampacity
2. max. working insulation/ conductor temperature.
3. frequency variation on % of full loads.
4. voltage drop on % full load.
5. over load capacity

we all know that in transformer, voltage and current are inversely related i.e. Vp/Vs= Is/Ip....so in standard CT..we have a ratio of 200/5...that means our voltage should increase by ratio of 40..althoug that is not the case...because that requires high insulation level.and pratically not feasible......can anybody clarify my ques.......thanx
