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

Answer / shriram

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

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

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

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
