5.2 FOR STOPPING DIESEL GENERATOR SET IN MANUAL MODE
5.2.1 Check final readings of parameters and note in the DG Set Log Book.5.2.2 By pressing Open Button on the alternator panel release the DG in comer breaker.
5.2.3 Turn the key of DG set to OFF position.
5.2.4 Press the red color Emergency push button.
5.3 FOR STARTING DIESEL GENERATOR SET IN AUTO MODE
5.3.1 After a power failure, the engine will start automatically after 30 seconds5.3.2 Check fuel level into the diesel service tank.
5.3.3 Check coolant level into the radiator.
5.3.4 Engine will pick up and will develop voltage.
5.3.5 Check voltages between R-Y, Y-B and B-R. It should be 415 to 420 Volts.
5.3.6 Check frequency of supply, It should be 49.5 to 50 Hz.
5.3.7 D.G. breaker will close automatically.
5.3.8 Use touch screen to scroll the readings.
5.3.9 The parameters are: RPM, lub oil pressure lub oil temperature, water temperature (in / out), voltage (RY, YB, BR), current (R, Y, B), frequency, KWH, KW, P.F.
5.4 FOR STOPPING DIESEL GENERATOR SET IN AUTO MODE
5.4.1 DG Set verifies the M.S.E.B. Supply is resumed.5.4.2 The DG incomer, bus coupler 1 and 2 breakers will open automatically.
5.4.3 The breakers of transformer 1 and 2 will close automatically.

Very helpful blog. Thanks for sharing such a useful information. DG sets are used in places that have no connection to power grid, and as emergency power-supply if the grid fails.
ReplyDeleteVery useful information. The vocabulary used is very friendly. Other Items in that SOP can be added such as Reference documents, Risk Association with the process, Flow chart ??
