    Diode Failure Detector

    The Stamford Diode Failure Detector (DFD) is suitable for use TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
    with all STAMFORD Generators. It senses the level of ripple
    current in the exciter output to provide indication of a failed Supply voltage DC 12 - 28V
    diode, either short or open circuit. AC 100 – 140V
    Or 200 – 280V
    Frequently demanded in the oil and gas industries this
    warning device is increasingly required by many other users Supply current DC 0.2A max
    who recognise the benefits of early failure warning. The DFD
    has a delayed response of 7 seconds to avoid ‘nuisance trip’ Output Voltage Free Contacts

    By receiving a quick warning of a single failed diode the user
    may arrange shutdown (manually or automatically) of the Response time (Approx) 7 seconds
    engine. Alternatively on receipt of the warning, the exciter
    field current or voltage can be monitored, reducing load if
    necessary, to ensure that recommended levels are not ENVIRONMENTAL
    exceeded. In this way the generator set can continue to
    provide emergency supplies until a planned controlled Operating temp - 40˚C to + 70˚C

     Jumper Selectable D.C. (12 or 24V) or AC (120 to 240V).
     Simple connections to generator.
