Preparations before starting your Cummins diesel generator

Usually we ignore some details before starting-up of Cummins generator set, this is not only good for self safety, but also affect lifetime of Cummins generator set.following rules are references of Cummins generator set.

1, Before starting Cummins generator set, we must check carefully if all the wirings are well connected, all junction parts are well coupled, brush is normal, the pressure has met the requirements and grounding lines are well connected.

2, Keep starting battery volt reaching starting volt.

3, Locate value of field rheostat to max before starting Cummins generator set, disconnect the output switch, take off clutch if Cummins generator set has clutch, first start engine without load, then start generator afater generator run smoothly.

4, To Cummins generator sets operating in parallel, they must meet the same frequency, the same voltage, the same phase and the same phase sequence.

5, To those Cummins generator sets working in parallel, they must be ready for normal and stable operation.

6, To adjust the speed of Cummins diesel engine and close instantly and simultaneously after receipt of signal “ready to parallel” .

7, paralleling Cummins generator sets should adjust load reasonably, and balance distribution of the Cummins generator set active power and reactive power. active power is regulated through accelerator of Cummins engine, and the reactive power is regulated through the excitation.

8, to ensure that there are no debris and flammable or explosive materials in Cummins generator set room, nobody can enter without permission except duty person

9, there should be equipped with fire extinguishers, and cut off power when fire accident happens, and use fire extinguisher with carbon dioxide or carbon tetrachloride to extinguish.
