How do you maintain the batteries for generators, what is
the daily maintenance of a generator?
Answer Posted / amit kumar sharma
Daily routine test for Diesel Generator
Before Starting
1. Check Fuel Level
2. Check Oil level
3. Cooling Water (For water cooled Generator)
4. Battery Volts and terminals
5. Air Filter
After Starting before loads on
1. Oil Pressure gauge
2. Battery charging ampere
3. Water / Oil Temperature
4. Output supply
5. Output frequency
After Loads on
1. Frequency (check if within acceptable limits)
2. Three phase supply volts
3. Load Sharing on each phase
4. Temperature of Water / Oil
5. Exhaust gas color (Should be clear. Not smoky or black)
IF exhaust gas is black, it is overloaded
If its smoky, oil is leak in manifold, or Diesel quality is
poor

a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5
