How does Cummins diesel generator set start and why can’t it stop automatically

Because many users in the use of our Cummins generator set, often in the after-sales service to us to consult the unit start method, can not automatically stop and other problems, to this, we do a detailed introduction for you on such issues, only for your reference!

A, Cummins diesel generator set startup method

Power start, the method is to turn on the power first, twist the key, press the start button, when the machine starts successfully, press the emergency stop button to stop, turn off the key alarm.

Key start: First turn the key clockwise, release the key after the machine starts normally, then press the “menu” button of the module to enter the module setting, enter the password “0318” as prompted, press the “up” and “down” keys to confirm, check whether the oil pressure and water temperature indicators are normal, after confirming the normal, turn the “up” speed switch to the full speed direction, when the frequency increases to 51. When it is between 5-52HZ, it indicates that it has reached the highest speed. At this time, all indicators are normal, indicating that the machine runs well and the performance debugging is successful. Run for a period of time to determine no fault need to stop, first by the unit operator will “speed up” knob slowly to idle direction, the unit slowly slow down, until the value is restored to the factory before the position set, can press the “emergency stop” button to stop.

Preheating: For units equipped with preheaters, the personnel can decide whether to preheat the units according to the ambient temperature before starting, and the control screen with preheating button can control the engine to start heating for the purpose of preheating.

Power ON. Turn the key switch of the control panel from OFF to ON. The instrument background light on the panel indicates that the control panel is powered on, the fuel of the unit is on, and the controller of the unit with electronic speed control controller or electric injection unit is also in working state. Start: Some unit control screens have idle/full speed switch. Users can choose whether to start at idle speed or at full speed at one time according to actual needs. Generally, the idle running time should not exceed 5 minutes. The unit should not run at idle speed for a long time. Press the start button, the duration is not more than 30 seconds, the engine starts under the drive of the start motor, once the start is successful, you can release the start button, the unit into the running state.

However, in order to prolong the service life of the starting battery and the starting motor, it is appropriate to control the time of starting the unit in 5-10 seconds. If the first startup is not successful, you can stop the corresponding time to start the program for a second time.

Ii. Reasons why Cummins diesel generator set can’t stop automatically

First of all, you can use a multimeter to measure the working voltage of the shutdown relay of Cummins diesel generator set and compare it with the normal voltage. If the relay still does not operate, it needs to be replaced. Then no-load test, the unit runs normally; In addition, you can also use a multimeter to measure the working voltage of the diesel engine stop solenoid valve, compared with the normal voltage and resistance, so that the solenoid valve is too dirty, resulting in the automatic shutdown of the diesel engine, the solenoid valve can not turn off the fuel in time, some fuel into the injector to idle Cummins diesel generator set. At this time, the DC positive power cord must be disconnected, the solenoid valve must be removed for cleaning, and the tension of the sheet must be adjusted, and then the no-load test machine, the unit runs normally.

1. Manually stop the Cummins diesel generator set, directly turn the universal transfer switch from the 3 o ‘clock direction to the 12 o ‘clock direction, this is the shutdown of Cummins diesel generator set;

2. Open the low-voltage distribution cabinet, the upper switch is the power switch, and the lower switch is the lighting switch. There is a small triangle on the left of the lighting switch.

The user needs to pay attention to close the cabinet door, switch the generator from manual state to automatic state, and resume production. If the solenoid valve is out of control due to the shutdown of Cummins diesel generator set, it can be solved by checking whether the wiring is correct and replacing the solenoid valve if necessary. Cummins diesel generator set can not stop, it is possible to burn oil or throttle stuck, the turbine can not stop because the guide vane (needle) leakage is too large.

There is also a possibility that the grid-connected unit does not really disassemble, but is dragged by the grid, of course, it cannot stop.

When the Cummins diesel generator set cannot stop automatically, the DC positive power cord must be disconnected, the solenoid valve must be removed for cleaning, and the reed tension must be adjusted, and then the no-load test machine can run normally. So that’s my analysis.

Jiangsu Meao Power Technology Co., Ltd. is an important manufacturer of diesel generators. The company mainly manufactures and sells diesel generator sets with power of 3-3000kW, mobile power station of 24-600kW, Marine emergency diesel generator set of 24-800kW, gas generator set, heavy oil generator set and all kinds of imported series, special series (trailer, static speaker, mobile lighthouse, container, etc.) diesel generator At the same time, we are engaged in generator set maintenance and after-sale service of generator set accessories.
