Assembly of Diesel Generator Set
Introduction :
Diesel Generator set is used to generate electricity for meeting the electricity
requirement of small establishments such as commercial buildings, Hotels, Railway Stations,
Telephone Exchange, Shops etc. when there is a power supply failure from the State Electricity
Board or other powe supply undertakings. The Diesel Generator sets proposed in this project
profile are of lower capacity only i.e. below 7.5 kVA. The prime mover of the Generator set will be
a diesel engine and the prime mover will be coupled to an alternator (single phase for small units).
There will be a control panel to control the on/off operation/change over from mains supply to
Generator set supply etc. Generator sets of higher rating has to be started with battery starters.
Diesel Generator sets of smaller rating can be started by cranking.Process of Manufacture : The
proposed unit is doing the assembly of diesel generator sets with necessary control panel as per
the requirement of the customer. The load requirement of the customer is studied in consultation
with the customer.Any special requirements such as minimum start up period,fluctuations of load
etc.are noted.A suitable alternator to meet the load requirement is procured from an alternator
manufacturer.A diesel engine suitable for the alternator is also selected and procured from the
diesel engine manufacturer.The diesel engine and alternator are coupled and fixed on a frame. A
control panel for starting the engine using battery bank, isolating the mains while the alternator is.
