The precautions for using the Worksite Generator are as follows. I hope the following introduction can provide users with reference.
1、 Choose a suitable construction site generator
Select according to requirements: Choose the appropriate generator model and power based on the actual needs of the construction site. Mainly considering parameters such as power, voltage, frequency, etc., to ensure that the generator can meet the electricity demand of the construction site equipment.
Reliable quality: Choose generator brands with reliable quality and stable performance to reduce failure rates and maintenance costs.
2、 Installation and Placement of Worksite Generator
Installation environment:
The construction site generator should be installed near the load center, with convenient access to incoming and outgoing lines, and unobstructed surrounding roads. Avoid placing the generator in a damp, dusty, or high-temperature environment to avoid affecting its performance and service life. Diesel generator sets used outdoors on construction sites should be equipped with protective shelters to prevent exposure to sunlight and rain.
Fixed and supported:
The fixed workplace generator should be installed on a compliant indoor foundation and raised 0.25 to 0.30 meters above the indoor floor to prevent water accumulation. The mobile diesel generator set should be in a horizontal state, placed stably, its trailer should be reliably grounded, and the front and rear wheels should be stuck to prevent movement. Safe distance: The generator should be kept at a distance of 1 meter or more from buildings or other devices to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation, and to prevent the spread of fire.
3、 Preparation before starting the generator on the construction site
Check the oil level: Ensure that the oil is within the normal range to avoid engine damage caused by insufficient oil.
Workite generator cooling system: Check the cooling water level to ensure that the cooling system is working properly and prevent engine overheating.
Check the battery: Check the battery level. If the battery is low, it should be charged or replaced in a timely manner to ensure that the generator can start normally.
Check the circuit: Ensure that the power output cable is connected correctly, without any leakage or short circuit, and that all contacts are securely wired.
Turn off load: Before starting the generator, ensure that all load devices are turned off to avoid damage caused by excessive current during the generator start-up.
4、 Startup and Operation of Worksite Generator
Startup steps:
Insert the start key into the start switch and gently turn the key to start the generator. Monitor the sound of the generator running, and if there are any abnormalities, stop the machine for inspection in a timely manner.
Construction site generator operation monitoring:
Regularly check the oil level, water temperature, voltage, frequency and other parameters of the generator during operation to ensure that they are within the normal range. If any abnormal sound, odor or malfunction indicator light is found on the generator, it should be stopped immediately for inspection.
Load management:
Reasonably allocate loads according to the actual needs of the construction site to avoid overloading of the generator. When connecting load devices, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the equipment match the generator.
Safe operation:
It is strictly prohibited to directly expose flammable materials at the exhaust outlet of the generator to prevent fire hazards. Smoking or using open flames around the generator is strictly prohibited to ensure fire safety. The operator should stand at the upwind position and stay away from the hot exhaust gas emitted by the generator. It is strictly prohibited to use the generator in a closed environment to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
5、 Worksite generator shutdown and maintenance
Shutdown steps:
When stopping the generator, all load devices should be turned off first. Then turn off the generator output switch.
Turn off the generator and allow it to cool naturally before maintenance.
Regular maintenance:
Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter to keep the engine oil clean. Check the cooling system to ensure that the coolant is sufficient and there are no leaks. Clean the dust and dirt on the surface of the generator to maintain good heat dissipation. Regularly conduct professional inspections and maintenance on generators, promptly identify and address potential issues.
6、 Other precautions for Worksite Generator
Electrical safety:
The generator set should be equipped with safety devices such as short-circuit protection and overload protection. The power supply of the generator set must be interlocked with the power supply of the external power line, and it is strictly prohibited to operate in parallel with the external power line. When two or more generator sets are running in parallel, a synchronization device must be installed and power must be supplied to the load after the units are synchronized.
Fire prevention measures:
There must be no open flames or flammable or explosive materials stored around the generator set. The power generation site should be equipped with fire-fighting facilities that can be used in electrified areas, and should be clearly and prominently labeled for easy access.
Personnel training:
The user should be familiar with the unit structure and master the basic safety operating procedures. Operators should wear insulated shoes and work clothes to ensure personal safety.
Emergency situation handling:
In case of emergency situations such as generator failure or fire, the machine should be stopped immediately and the power supply should be cut off. Take appropriate emergency measures, such as using dry powder fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire and prevent the situation from escalating.
The use of the workplace generator requires strict adherence to various operating procedures and safety precautions to ensure the stable operation of the generator and safe production on the construction site.
