How to calculate the diesel generator efficiency? what
details are required to identify the running diesel
generator sets with 1000 kVA & 180 kVA?

Answer Posted / imran mazhar

You did not say what efficiency, whether you get good KWH/
diesel consumption or whether the genset is loaded
efficiently
Whatever, you need a KWH METER AND DIESEL CONSUMPTION
METER.If you run your 1000KVA gen set for 20 hrs.your
genset say at 0.8 pf it could have generated;
1000kva x 0.8 =800KWH per hr .SO FOR 20 Hrs s 16000KWH. If
YOUR KWH generated reading says 12000kwh than your
generator usage effiociency is 12000/16000 =75%
If the diesel consumption was 600ltrs than kwh/l is
12000/600 =20KWH/Litre diesel. you have to calculate
seperately for both of them.

Can u explain : what is supply for train (whether a,c or d.c ).I know that supply is 25000v a.c .But there is rumour that supply is D.C. And also explain how lights and fans inside the trains are working ,and what type of motors are used in trains whether D.C motors or induction motors .If d.c motor, how it gets supply.If traction motors are used then what are traction motors and its functions and how it differs from other motors and also explain about locomotive . y d.c series motor in train.train wheels r driven by D.C shunt motor ,at what voltage,and at what speed. please reply..............
