C7.1 Introduction
KOEL genset is carefully designed to provide optimum performance and reliability with
great economy and minimum maintenance. This genset package is a result of over 55
years of actual site experience to deliver a comprehensive system built with advanced
engineering concepts and backed by an efficient service network.
Please read this manual to understand operation and maintenance of the genset. By
following instructions in the manual and proper care, the genset will be always ready to
respond to any emergency standby or prime power needs.
Gensets consist of an alternator driven by a diesel engine. The engine has systems such
as fuel, exhaust, cooling, electrical and control. These topics are covered in detail
elsewhere in this manual.
The engine has a governor that maintains the engine speed within a set tolerance to
deliver rated power and frequency as per ISO 3046, DIN 6271 AND BS 5514. The alternator
produces output with correct voltage, optimum wave form, fast response and precise voltage
regulation.
C7.3 Canopy
KOEL gensets are housed in a canopy. Use of canopy has the following advantages:
C-7
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
C8. Engine
The engine of the genset has proven reliability and is specifically designed to operate in
conjunction with an alternator. The heavy duty engine is an industrial type 4-stroke,
compression ignition prime mover fitted with all accessories necessary for reliable operation.
KOEL offers gensets with air cooled as well as liquid cooled engines. This manual covers only
liquid cooled engines. Air cooled engines are covered under an independent manual.
The engine uses coolant liquid that circulates around cavities in engine to reduce temperature
of cylinders and cylinder head. The coolant is circulated by an engine driven pump. The hot
coolant is further circulated through a radiator, which exchanges heat with air flowing through
its core. The air is pushed through the radiator core by an engine driven fan that is driven by V-
Belts.
The radiator has a pressurized cap that allows higher pressure inside the cooling system and
prevents coolant from boiling away. The expansion of the coolant due to heat and pressure
forces the excess liquid to move to a Coolant Compensatory Tank. The same tank refills the
radiator after reduction in temperature creates a vacuum inside the cooling system.
The radiator fan also ensures a draught through the canopy. The hot air leaving engine leaves
canopy through grill in front of radiator. For enclosed gensets, good ventilation is achieved by
using special fans to remove radiated heat from engine and alternator and ensuring that there
is no hot air recirculation.
All genset installations require careful attention to air flow. The notes provided in the Installation
Section of this manual should be consulted before selecting a location for your genset.
The primary function of the governor system is to maintain engine speed in relation to varied
load requirements. This is accomplished by the governor which senses engine speed and
controls the engine fuel rate, in order to maintain practically constant speed. The engine speed
governor maintains engine speed within limits regardless of the steady load. As the alternator
load increases, the engine speed is reduced.
Because the speed must remain relatively constant, the governor, sensing engine speed, will
increase fuel flow to the engine, thus adjusting horsepower to a point sufficient to maintain
engine speed and compensate for the load change. The same principle is applied when the
load decreases. As the load is reduced the speed would increase, the governor will then
reduce fuel delivery thus decreasing the horsepower to maintain the proper speed.
C-8
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
All gensets are fitted with anti-vibration mountings which are designed to reduce vibration
being transmitted from the rotating mass of the genset to the foundation on which the
genset is mounted. Vibration isolators are selected to suit the particular duty and are fitted
between the engine, alternator feet and the base frame. On some of the models the
vibration isolators are fitted between the base frame and the foundation depending on the
system requirement.
The design of the base frame incorporates not removable fuel tank with a
capacity of approximately 8 hours operation. The tank is provided with fittings to
facilitate either manual or automatic filling. The base frame is manufactured from heavy
gauge sheet steel and welded to form a rigid assembly.
C-9
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Exhaust silencer is provided to reduce noise emission from the engine and designed to direct
exhaust gases to areas where they will not be objectionable.
On ‘stand- alone’ open gensets, the exhaust silencer is generally placed outside the Genset
room, with suitable extension piping from engine. Stainless steel expansion bellow is provided
on the engine, to facilitate the exhaust piping. For generating sets with acoustic canopy,
residential type silencer is fitted inside or outside the canopy with flange fitting at the outlet to
enable discharge of exhaust gases at desired location, through extension piping, as required.
To protect the alternator winding, a suitably rated moulded case circuit breaker or miniature
circuit breaker (depending on the genset model) is supplied mounted in a strong fabricated
steel enclosure.
Current transformers are fitted on each of the phases on the cabling to the circuit breaker
enclosure for current measurement. In some configurations the main circuit breaker may be
incorporated in the automatic transfer panel.
C-10
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Control system provides protection of the engine against faults such as high temperature, low
oil pressure, over speed, low fuel level or other conditions. The system also prevents damage
to the cranking motor by automatically disengaging the motor after engine starts and deep
discharge of the starting battery by avoiding cranks if engine fails to start.
All control panels are mounted in welded steel enclosures equipped with a sealed hinged door
for easy access and servicing. The control panel is available in several variations to suit the
requirement of the installation.
Engine instruments and the control panel are supplied from the battery fitted to the genset. This
battery also provides power for operation of the cranking motor to start the engine and for the
stop solenoid.
The control panel and main circuit breaker are normally located on a separate stand that is
mounted on the base frame to ensure vibration free running. More complex control systems
have floor standing control panels. For gensets with acoustical canopy, the control panel is
fitted inside the enclosure. Suitable glass cover opening is provided on the enclosure to view
the instruments.

C10. Installation Guidelines
C10.1 Location
Selecting a location for the genset is very important part of any installation procedure.
Locate the genset in an area that will provide adequate ventilation and physical
protection for the unit. Place the genset to allow easy movement all around for
maintenance and replenishment of fuel etc. Ensure 1 to 2 meters space all around the
genset.
CͲ14
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
In case two gensets are installed next to each other, ensure a minimum of 2 meters space in
between their sides. This is to ensure easy access even if doors of both gensets are open.
minimum
•The location must allow free ventilation of inlet air and exhaust.
CͲ15
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•Ideally the genset should be in open air. In case genset is to be mounted in side the building,
ensure proper ventilation around the genset.
•Choose the direction of placement such that natural wind helps in air flow of the genset.
•The site selection should be complete before the genset reaches to location.
•Ensure sufficient illumination at the installation site. The interiors of acoustic canopy should be
clearly visible without help of any extra lighting.
•Provide suitable, safe access to elevated items.
•Standard tool kit (not supplied with genset) should be available easily and quickly. It should be
protected from corrosion and stored in a dry place.
•If spares are supplied along with the equipment, they should be protected from corrosion and
stored in a dry place.
C10.2 Foundation
The foundation provides a leveled platform to seat and seal the Genset.
•Supports 1.5 times of the total dead weight of the single genset and 2 times of the
total dead weight for multiple gensets.
•Support the dynamic load of genset while in running. For dynamic load of the genset,
please refer to manual or contact the supplier.
•Isolate the surrounding structures by absorbing the vibration of genset while running.
•Provide a reinforced concrete foundation for the genset. Do not install acoustic canopy on
CͲ16
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•The foundation should have sufficient mass in proportion to the size of the genset to provide
the rigid support necessary for minimizing deflection and vibration.
•Before easing the genset on the foundation, ensure that no hard material such as stones or steel
objects remain on the mounting surface as this may damage fuel tank at the bottom.
•Design the foundation while considering safe load bearing capacity of soil.
•The length and breadth of foundation should be at least 150-300 mm more on each side than
length and breadth of the acoustic canopy.
•Ensure sufficient space for personnel to walk all around the foundation.
•Check the level of foundation diagonally as well as across length for even flatness.
•In case surface is rough, lay nitrile rubber strips, 15mm thick and equal to the width of the
base frame, under the genset, along the periphery of the base frame.
•It is recommended to raise foundation height about 150 to 200 mm above ground level, to
helps maintain cleanliness and avoid flooding.
•Ensure that concrete is completely set and cured before positioning the canopy.
•Consult a qualified structural engineer when seismic events are in consideration.
•The foundation may be located on soil, structural steel, building floors etc., provided the total
weight of the foundation and genset package does not exceed the allowable bearing load of the
support.
•Allowable bearing loads of structural steel can be obtained from Engineering Handbooks
while local building codes will provide the allowable bearing loads for different types of soil.

Where:
Cool, clean and fresh air should flow the alternator end to the engine end. The exhaust
should also flow in the direction of cooling airflow.
•Incoming cold air enters openings behind the alternator.
•The cold air first passes over the alternator, then the engine, picking up radiant heat as it
passes.
•It then passes through the radiator and is discharged through a duct to the outside of the
gensetroom.
CͲ18
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•A temperature rise of 5-15 Deg C (9-27 Deg F) in the cooling air can be expected at full load.
•The radiated heat given off by the engine, generator and exhaust piping can result in a
temperature high enough to adversely affect operating and maintenance personal or the
performance of the genset.
•Locate the genset in a room or area that will provide or allow sufficient ventilation to remove this
heat as well as the heat radiated from the engine cooling liquid by the radiator. Preferably provide
exhaust fans to drive hot air outside.
•If acoustic canopy is placed in an enclosed place, ensure that it is well ventilated and exhaust
gases are driven out of the enclosure.
•Ensure that hot air is positively discharged from the building by fitting a flexible connection
between the radiator and the duct.
•The size of the openings should be calculated to ensure that excessive restriction is not imposed
on the flow of cooling air. Openings should at least be as big as the radiator core area but, as a
guide, an area on 150% of the core area of the radiator should be allowed for.
•For weather protection, louvers should be fitted to the intake and exhaust openings. These can
be either of the fixed or movable type.
•Manually operated movable louvers may be acceptable in some cases, but they are not acceptable for
automatic standby units.
•Radiator air should not be depended upon to open/close the louver vanes.
•Ensure that the exhaust releases in the direction of wind flow.
CͲ19
Operational and Maintenance Manual:

For basement installations, forced ventilation through air ducts is required. Contact
supplier representative for recommendation of values of air required and fan flows for
various gensets rated at 1500 rpm. Ensure the values are with lagged exhaust
piping in the room and silencer fitted outside the room.
Maximum allowed temperature rise above ambient in genset canopy air intake is 7°C.
•Measure the ambient air temperature outside the canopy in shade.
•Measure the temperature inside the canopy near air cleaner inlet of engine.
•Calculate temperature difference between canopy temperature and ambient i.e. delta T.
•It may be necessary to measure actual airflow using an anemometer.
•Engine inlet air must be clean, dry and as cool as possible. These conditions will
drastically effect both engine life and performance.
•Air temperature near air cleaner should not be more than 5°C above ambient. Sufficient
window openings are required to maintain air inlet temperature within the limit.
•Normally the inlet can be taken from the area surrounding the installation site. However, in
some cases the condition of the air surrounding the machine may warrant ducting the air
from outside or another room.
•When it does become necessary to duct air in, the air cleaner should remain mounted to
the engine as opposed to a remote mounting (such as on a roof or in another room). This
will eliminate the possibility of dirt leaking through the duct work upstream of the air
cleaner.
The exhaust system is used to direct exhaust gases to non-confined areas and reduce
the noise to tolerable levels. When designing a system the main objective is to
minimize back pressure. Excessive back pressure in an exhaust system will create
horsepower loss and increase the engine operating temperature, and emissions.
•Exhaust pipe outside the canopy should be lagged with aluminum sheet cladding. Typical
thickness of lagging - 50mm.
• If exhaust pipe length is more than 7 meter, add additional flexible bellows.

•Higher back pressure in exhaust system than specified limit will lead to:
-Higher fuel consumption
-Poor performance
-Engine component failure due to higher exhaust temperature
-Reduced engine life
Figure C - 14: ERW and GI pipes

•For installations in populated areas, direct the exhaust above roof height of adjacent buildings, as
per statutory requirements.
•When bends are required in an exhaust system, always make the radius at least 150% of the inside
diameter of the pipe.
•As most exhaust system designs are governed by the physical characteristics of the building or room
in which they are located, it is of the utmost importance that the exhaust pipe be routed in a path
offering the least amount of turns or bends so not to increase back pressure more than 50 mm of
Mercury Column.
•Generating sets with acoustic canopy are provided with exhaust outlets having connecting flanges.
C-23
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Exhaust gases from the outlet can be routed away to desired location.
•For up to 3 meter distance exhaust pipe size same as provided on the outlet can be used. For
longer lengths total exhaust system assessment should be done by competent person.
•In no case, exhaust back pressure should exceed 50 mm of Mercury Column when measured at
exhaust manifold of engine, at rated load.
•Be sure that all pipes are well supported and that springs or other dampers are used at points of
high vibration.
•Due to the heat radiation of the exhaust pipes it is recommended that all pipes be located at least
250 mm from any combustible material.
•Wrapping the exhaust pipes with high temperature insulation or installing fitted insulated sections
will aid in preventing excessive heat radiation within the room.
•At points where the piping passes through a wall or roof, a metal thimble guard 300 mm in
diameter slightly larger than the pipe should be installed.
•Bevel the end of the pipe at a 30 - 45 degree angle. Should the pipe end be horizontal, bevel
the pipe from the top back to the bottom. This will not only reduce the noise levels at the outlet but
will also minimize entrance of precipitation on horizontal pipes.

Health Warning
•Inhalation of exhaust fumes is potentially lethal.
•The correct installation of exhaust systems to prevent accumulation of exhaust gas cannot be
overemphasized.
•Additionally, prolonged exposure to engine exhaust noise can be damaging to hearing.
•A genset should never be operated without a fully installed exhaust system and all personnel
in close vicinity should wear ear protection.
The exhaust piping should be connected via a flexible joint located on the engine exhaust
outlet.
This connection serves three purposes.
-It relieves some of the weight of the exhaust piping from the engine.
-It isolates the exhaust system from vibration.
-It allows for some movement of either the genset or exhaust system components.
Long piping runs should be divided into sections separated by additional flexible connections.
This will also compensate for the expansion and contraction of the piping itself due to
temperature change. Any insulation material used for a flexible connection should allow for the
expansion and contraction of the connections, due to temperature changes.
Only fully qualified and experienced electrical technicians should be allowed to carry out
electrical installation work.
Warning: Never attempt to work on live wiring. Always stop the genset and open
the circuit breaker on the load cables before working on the alternator or it’s
connectors. Disable starting of engine while working on genset.
•All electrical work should be carried out in accordance with any applicable National,
Local Standards, Codes or Regulations.
•The electrical connection to the genset should be made with flexible cable to prevent the
transmission of vibration and possible damage to the alternator or circuit breaker terminals.
•If it is not convenient to use flexible cable throughout then a link box can be installed close
to the set with a flexible connection between it and the set.
•The cable may be laid in a duct or on cable tray. When bending cable reference must be
made to the recommended minimum bending radius. No rigid connection should be made
between the set and the cable support system, eg, cable tray.
•When single core cables are used the gland plates must be of non-ferrous material, eg,
aluminum, brass or a non- metallic material such as Teflon.
•The cable must be suitable for the voltage being used and adequately sized to carry the rated
current with allowances made for ambient temperature, method of installation, proximity of
other cables, etc.
•All connections should be carefully checked for integrity. Phase rotation must be checked
for compatibility with the installation. This is vitally important when connection is made to an
auto transfer switch, or if the machine is to be paralleled.

C10.7.1 Earthing/Grounding
•The generating set and all associated equipment must be earthed before the set is put into
operation.
•4 earth pits are required as per Indian electricity rule / local electricity regulations.
•2 earthing pits for genset / control panel body.
•2 earthing pits for neutral,

Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
C10.7.2 Protection
The cables connecting the genset with the distribution system should be protected by
means of a circuit breaker or fuses to disconnect the output in case of overload or
short circuit.
C10.7.3 Loading
When planning the distribution system it is important to ensure that the genset has a
balanced load. Loading one phase excessively as compared to other two
phases this will cause overheating in the alternator windings, imbalance in the
phase to phase voltage output and possible damage to sensitive 3 phase
equipment connected to the system. Ensure that no phase current exceeds that of
the current rating of the genset.
It may be necessary to reorganize the electrical distribution system if a genset
is to be connected to an existing installation.
Determine the power factor (cos phi) of the connected loads while ordering the
genset. Power factors below 0.8 will overload the generator. The genset will provide
its kilowatt rating and will operate satisfactorily from 0.8 to unity power factor.
Particular attention must be given to installation with automatic or manual
power factor correction equipment to ensure that a lagging power factor is not
present under any conditions. This will lead to voltage instability on the generator
output and may result in damaging over voltages.
Noise emissions from diesel gensets (without acoustic treatment) are at sound
pressure levels of between 100 dB(A) and 110 dB (A) at 1m. Kirloskar Gensets with
acoustic canopies have a typical noise pressure level of 75 dB(A) or less
(average) at a distance of 1 meter from the canopy.
Intermediate levels of treatment will prove more economic and are often
satisfactory

A mains powered battery charger is recommended for gensets meant for Non-AMF standby
duty. This is especially important if the genset does not run often. The battery charger will
ensure that the battery is kept in the peak condition for quickly starting the genset when
required. The battery charger has automatic charge control, thus avoiding overcharging of the
battery.
In case of AMF genset, a mains powered battery charger is usually built in the panel.
C12.2 Heater
To ease cold weather starting, a 24 V DC heater plug is fitted to the inlet manifold. This
heater plug is energized for a preset interval before cranking the engine. The passage of
electrical current through the heater plug heats the device and the air inside the inlet
manifold. The 24 V DC supply to the heater plug should be switched off during cranking to
ensure maximum battery capacity for the starter motor. Ensure that the heater plug is not
energized when the engine is running.
Alternators are offered with heaters to prevent condensation, These heaters are fitted to the
alternator stator winding. These operate at a relatively low temperature and do not require a
thermostat. These heaters should be switched off when the genset is running. An external AC
power supply is required to power these heaters.
CͲ39
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Genset engines are available with Electronic Governors to closely regulate engine speeds and
therefore output frequency. Electronic Governor is recommended for gensets powering critical
loads and also when two or more gensets are required to run in synchronisation.
C13. Maintenance
A good maintenance programme is essential for long genset life. Please find a program that
should keep your machine in top running condition. Also included in this programme are
routine maintenance operations required for the engine and alternator (see Engine
Maintenance and Alternator Maintenance Sections).
It is good practice to have all of the maintenance and service operations performed by trained
personnel familiar with genset maintenance. This, along with a good service records system,
should aid in developing an efficient maintenance program. The service records of each genset
should include information such as complete nameplate data with model and serial numbers,
all drawing and wiring diagrams, spare parts stock lists, as well as a service schedule and a
copy of this manual. These records will allow quick reference and may help to diagnose a
problem in the future.
Perform this maintenance before every start up. If the genset is used for standby
applications with little running, these procedures may be required after longer periods like
every weekly.to weekly.
•Make a visual check of the entire genset. Watch for signs of potential leaks from the engine
fuel system, cooling system or lubrication seals.
•Check the alternator for obstructions in the cooling air ventilation screens.
•Check the alternator and control box for heavy accumulation of dust and dirt. Clean any
heavy accumulations as electrical hazards, as well as cooling problems could arise.
•Check the air cleaner. Clean or replace if necessary.
•Check the fuel level.
•Check the engine coolant level (in case of Liquid cooled engines).
•Be sure that the radiator air flow or blower air flow is not obstructed.
•Check the condition of the blower, fan and alternator belts and their tension.
•Check all hose connections and hose conditions.
•Check the engine oil level. Maintain the level at ‘H’ mark, top up if level is low.
•Check the battery terminals for corrosion.
•Check the battery electrolyte level and fill with distilled water if necessary.
•Ensure cleanliness around genset. Dispose of any unnecessary items in the vicinity of the

The alternator unit should be cleaned inside and out on a regular basis. The frequency
of such cleaning depends on the environmental conditions of the operating site. The
following procedure should be applied when cleaning is necessary:-
•Disconnect all power.
•Wipe dust, oil, water or any other liquids from the external surfaces of the alternator unit.
All of these materials can work their way into the windings and may cause overheating
or insulation breakdown.
•Remove these same materials from the ventilation screens around the circumferences
of the unit. Do not permit such material to accumulate on these screens as this will
obstruct air flow. Such debris is best removed with a vacuum cleaner to avoid re-
depositing of these materials on other parts of the equipment.
•DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, STEAM OR A HIGH PRESSURE WATER CLEANER.
•Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the windings of the alternator unit. This will remove dust from
the coils that cannot be reached with a wiping cloth.

-Use of K-Cool Super Plus has benefits such maximizing engine life and providing optimum
performance.
Most diesel gensets work fully or partially without continuous human supervision. This
necessitates an electrical and electronic control system that ensures safe operation for
the genset all the time.
The Control System has several design objectives, some or all of which may be present on
a particular genset:
• Means of starting and stopping the Generator Set on user’s command.
•Detect various conditions like failure of mains or restoration of main for starting or
stopping genset automatically.
•Monitor and display engine and genset parameters.
•Compare engine and genset parameters against set levels to ensure operation within
safe limits.
•If the parameters deviate from the set levels, generate alarms to warn the operator.
•If the parameters exceed another set of levels, automatically trip (shut down) the
genset to protect the installation, load and personnel.
•Typical conditions for alarm and trip condition are low oil pressure, high coolant
temperature, over speed, under speed, low coolant level, low fuel level etc.
The genset are provided with a control panel with the following typical components:
•Electronic unit that provide logic to control genset,
•Gauges for displaying engine and genset parameters.
•Termination for sensor wires from engine.
•Termination for solenoid and relay outputs to engine.
•Termination for altenator incoming supply.

D3.9.9 Using Lube Oil
The oil must be changed at least once in a year. This is applicable to the engines which
are running for standby duty application.
Note:
•Initial Fill = Sump capacity + Gallery capacity + Lube oil filter capacity.
•Fill the Lube oil filter with oil before fitting on the engine.
•Whenever Lube oil filter is drained off, add approximately 0.5 liter to 1 liter extra lube oil
(as per the size of the Spin-on filter cartridge) in the sump to maintain the correct oil
level.)
•The oil level in the sump should be checked at room temperature by using
dipstick.
•Top up with fresh oil when the level reaches the low level mark on dip stick, fill till it
increases to top level mark. Avoid over filling.
•The engine should be lubricated only with the specified oil. This specially blended engine
oil designed for the best performance of your genset.
•Using the specified oil has the following advantages:
-Extra protection against corrosion and rusting.
-Excellent performance at both high and low temperatures.
-Reduced fuel consumption.
•Usage of improper lube oil could result in:
-Overheating of the engine.
-Sluggish performance.
-Excessive fuel consumption.
-Increased wear of bearings and other parts.
•The specified K-Oil Premium oil is available only through KOEL’s authorized service
dealers in suitable packing.
D3.9.10 Quality Grade
K-Oil Premium lube oil is recommended to use in the engine. It has the correct viscosity

Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
DV16 1010/910 kVA CRDi fuel system has a two level filtration process. It consists of
pre filter, final filter integrated lift pump, common rail pump, rail and the high pressure
pipes.
The lift pump creates suction due to which fuel enters into the pre filter from tank. This
is the first filtration level. Fuel after the pre filters rises up to final filter which is the 2nd
level filtration and from here it is pushed further into the common rail pump.
D3.10.2 Injection pump & Piping
The common rail pump gets the drive from crank gear via intermediate gears. It is a
diesel lubricated pump capable to developing very high pressure. Filtered fuel enters
the positive displacement pump to create high pressure. This high pressure fuel is
pushed in rail for further distribution through the high pressure pipe. Based on the ECU
signal the respective injector opens and injects precise amount of high pressure fuel
into the combustion chamber at right time
Figure D - 22: Fuel Filter
D3.10.4 Fuel Specifications
The performance of the engine depends upon supply of clean and correct grade of fuel. The
fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very close tolerances and slightest amount of dirt in
fuel can cause wear on the injection equipment. Following points are important in use of fuel on
KOEL DV series engines.
The following specifications are approved: -
•IS:1460 - 2005
•ASTM D975-88:1-D & 2-D
•-BS2869:A1 and A2 (In case of A2, note sulphur content)
•W-F-800C:DF-A, DF-1 and DF-2
•DIN 51 601
Note: Use of non-specified fuel/additives will lead to lapse of warranty.
D3.10.4.1 Winter Grade Fuel
At low temperatures, waxing may occur and clog the fuel system, thus causing operational
troubles.
In the case of ambient temperature below 10°C, use ‘Winter Grade ‘ d i e s e l fuel, mixed
with Kerosene. Proportion of Kerosene to be mixed in Diesel, depends on the ambient
temperature as shown in the graph. (Maximum proportion limited to 50%).
PREPARE THE BLEND IN THE TANK ITSELF. FILL IN THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF
KEROSENE FIRST, THEN ADD DIESEL FUEL.

D3.10.5 Selecting Fuel
Fuel quality is an important factor in obtaining satisfactory engine performance, long engine
life, and acceptable exhaust emission levels. KOEL engines are designed to operate on most
diesel fuels marketed today. In general, fuels meeting the properties of ASTM Designation
D975 (grades 1-D and 2-D) have provided satisfactory performance. The ASTM 975
specification, however, does not in itself adequately define the fuel characteristics needed for
assurance of fuel quality.
The properties listed in the fuel oil selection chart below have provided optimum engine
performance. Grade 2-D fuel is normally available for generator service. Grade 1-D fuel should
not be used in pleasure craft engines, except in an emergency.
D3.10.6 Storing Fuel
•The storage of fuel is of utmost importance since many engine problems are traced to dirty
fuel or fuel stored for too long a period.
•Store fuel in a convenient place outside the building.
•It is recommended that the fuel tank should be filled in at the end of the day‘s work. This
keeps moisture out of the tank.
•To eliminate water from the fuel, drain out small quantity of fuel from fuel tank through a drain
plug every day before starting the engine.

D4.3.Running in period
D4.3.1 Operation of a new engine (break-in)
All engines require some operational period for sliding surfaces like pistons, rings and
liners to take seat. During this period, the surfaces are taking shape and are conforming to
each other. There is a possibility of oil film breakage under high load or under high
speed due to high spots. Therefore, observe the following precautions for every engine.
•If you have difficulty in getting a good oil level reading of dipstick, rotate dipstick 180° and
reinsert for check.
•If the controller stops the engine because of Low Lube Oil pressure, check oil level on
dipstick. If level is low, add oil to the engine. Do not overfill. If level is correct then reset
the controller. If the fault persists, consult KOEL Helpdesk our DEALER for possible
switch or oil pump and line malfunction.
D-37
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Note:
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In addition, cold oil will
generally show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than hot oil. Both of these conditions
reflect normal engine operation.
•Check the coolant level on indicator located on compensatory tank. If level is low then top up
to the “High” level mark. Do NOT open or top up radiator if engine is hot.
•If the controller stops the engine trips due to High Coolant Temperature, check the coolant
level in compensatory tank, check the High Coolant Temperature switch and wiring.
•Check battery charging.
•Check leakages if any and rectify.
•Maintain log book.
D4.3.2 Check points during Operation
Do not overload the engine. Do not exceed the maximum permissible engine tilt. If faults occur,
find their cause immediately and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious
damage!
During operation the oil pressure in the engine lubrication system must be monitored. If the
monitoring devices register a drop in the lube oil pressure, switch off the engine immediately.
The coolant temperature should be approximately between 80 °C to 95 °C. The battery should
charge when engine is running.
D5. Engine Cleaning and Preservation
Remove the dust deposit from the engine and radiator fins with compressed air. Cleaning with
diesel fuel or kerosene or water may cause dust to deposit again on the cleaned parts.
Cleaning should be done from the side opposite to the normal air flow.
When deposits are hard, scrape and clean with a water jet. Run the engine after such cleaning
till all the water has evaporated.
When the engine is not used for some time, it should be protected from atmospheric moisture
and condensates that could damage the engine parts such as bearings, piston crankshaft, etc.

D6.1.1 Period of Top Overhaul and Major Overhaul
The duration of the operating period before overhaul is dependant entirely on the
quality of maintenance and service given to the engine and also type of environment
and engine load cycle.
However, after about 5000 running hours engine will need top overhaul (servicing of
combustions system) and after about 9000 running hours engine will need major
overhaul. These periods are based on assumption that engine is maintained
properly as per the instructions given in this manual. Hence the above estimated
overhaul periods are to be referred as general guide lines.
Get the engine top overhauled or major overhauled from KOEL authorised service dealer.
Use genuine spare parts for top and major overhaul of the engine.

•Drain engine oil by loosening the drain plug on the filter head.
•Remember t tighten drain plug after draining engine oil.
•Loosen the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise with a filter wrench.
•With a rag wipe clean the fitting face of the filter body and the oil filter body so that new oil
filter cartridge seats properly.
•Lightly lubricate O-ring and turn the oil filter until sealing face is fitted against the O-ring. Turn
1-1/4 turns further with the filter wrench.
•Use Kirloskar make genuine lube oil filter.
D7.3.Centrifuge Lube Oil filter
• Introduction
The Centrifuge Cleaner cleans your engine oil continuously when your engine is running. It separates dirt
above 1 micron approximately from engine oil thus lowers wear rate of engine components drastically. It
avoids harmful oil degradation and arrests depletion of oil additives increasing the oil life. The Centrifuge
Cleaner does not require any spare parts to be replaced and gives consistent performance throughout
engine oil.
D-45
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
• Cleaning frequency
For consistent performance, the centrifuge rotor needs to be cleaned periodically as mentioned in this
manual. It is recommended that you service the centrifuge every 250 hours of working or at every oil
change period.
The volume of dirt collected depends upon engine application, loading and environment in which engine is
working. Exact period of servicing the centrifuge can thus vary between 200 hours of working to your oil
change period. Please follow the instructions given below for cleaning of centrifuge cleaner.
• Identification and location
The centrifuge Cleaner is located on the same manifold on which full flow oil filter is mounted. The
centrifuge can be easily identified with a dome shaped cover bearing instruction sticker.

After you open the rotor, you will see cake formed sticky dirt mass all around the rotor cover from inside.
Remove the dirt by a blunt knife as shown. Clean the rotor cover and all rotors thoroughly by compressed
air. Refer to Figure D - 41 on page 45. Clean the centrifuge central shaft also.
Figure D - 41: Open the rotor
Assemble rotor in correct sequence of parts. Match arrow marks on rotor cover and rotor. Tighten rotor nut
firmly by hand. Install rotor on shaft and assemble cleaner cover.
Figure D - 42: Cleaning the rotor
Now your centrifuge is ready to collect more dirt from oil. Points to care about centrifuge cleaner.
1. Replace rubber rings if deformation or cuts are observed. Using damaged rubber rings will result in oil
leakage and improper functioning of centrifuge cleaner.
2. While assembling the rotor, ensure that the rubber ring has taken proper seat in its place. This is
necessary for proper sealing of rotor assembly.
3. Take care with the centrifuge housing and rotor body. They are made of aluminium, hence are
susceptible to damage due to accident.
D-48
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
4. Always ensure that the arrow marks on rotor cover and rotor are matched after assembling the rotor.
Refer to Figure D - 42 on page 45. The rotor body is dynamically balanced.
5. Mismatch of arrow marks on rotor cover and rotor will result in excessive vibrations of the cleaner and
part breakage.
6. The rubber ring is made of Viton rubber. Use genuine spare rubber ring only. Rubber ring of any other
material will not give desired performance.
D7.5.1 “Don'ts” about the centrifuge cleaner
• Do not over tighten the top nut. Tighten just enough to prevent leakage of oil from centrifuge cover and
housing. Over tightening top nut will damage the threading in centrifuge housing and damage the
centrifuge permanently. Use 1.2 kg-m torque for tightening of centrifuge cover.
Figure D - 43: Assembling the rotor
• Do not hold the rotor nut in clamping device like bench vice as shown. Extra clamping pressure on
rotor nut may result in damaging the circularity of upper bush and will result in permanent damage to
rotor assembly. Refer to Figure D - 43 on page 46.
• Do not open or tamper with the valve assembly. The valve assembly is preset for opening oil pressure
in engine's oil gallery. If the setting is lost or the valve assembly is damaged, there is risk that your
engine will not get enough oil or the centrifuge will not function properly.

D7.6.Maintenance of Fuel System
D7.7.Fuel system checks
Fill the tank with the recommended fuel. Keeping tanks full reduces water condensation and
helps keep fuel cool, which is important to engine performance. Make sure fuel supply valves
(if used) are open.
To insure prompt starting and even running, the fuel system must be primed with the fuel feed
pump manually before starting the engine the first time, or after a fuel filter change. Refill at the
end of each days operation to prevent condensation from contaminating the fuel.
Condensation formed in a partially filled tank promotes the growth of microbial organisms that
can clog fuel filters and restrict fuel flow.
If the engine is equipped with a fuel water separator, drain off any water that has accumulated.
Water in fuel can seriously affect engine performance and may cause engine damage. KOEL
recommends installation of a fuel water separator on all gensets.
D-50
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
D7.8. Fuel Contamination and Water Trap
In the generator environment, the fuel may get contaminated with water and microbial
growth (black slime). Generally, this type of contamination is the result of poor fuel handling
practices. Black slime requires water in the fuel to form and grow, so the best prevention is
to keep water content to a minimum in storage tanks.
If diesel fuel which contains moisture is used the injection system and the cylinder
liners / pistons will be damaged. This can be prevented to same extent by filling the tank
as soon as the engine is switched off while the fuel tank is still warm to prevent formation
of condensation. Drain moisture from storage tanks regularly. Remove condensation
from water separator by partially opening drain plug after every 50 Hours of use
Note : A galvanized steel tank should never be used for fuel storage, because the fuel oil
reacts chemically with the zinc coating to form powdery flakes which can quickly clog the
fuel filters and damage the fuel pump and injection nozzles.
D7.9.Cleaning Priming pump Strainer
Clean the priming pump strainer every 250 operation hours. The strainer is incorporated in
the priming pump inlet side joint bolt. Clean the strainer with the compressed air and rinse
it in the fuel oil.
D7.10.Bleeding the fuel system
Bleeding of fuel system is essential after cleaning of fuel filter or if an engine has stopped
due to fuel starvation. The fuel pump has a feed (priming) pump and screw to bleed
entrapped air from system.
•To bleed the system, manually operate the feed pump fitted near the fuel filter outlet joint
bolt.
•For using the feed pump, the cap of pump is unscrewed to open the
assembly.
Feed Pump
Figure D - 44: Feed Pump
D-51

•Lift and depress feed pump cap until liquid fuel without bubbles flows out from the bleeder
screw.
•Tighten the bleeder screw after air is fully purged from fuel system.
•As the fuel system gets purged of air, the feed pump becomes harder to operate. After the
pump operation turns hard, screw the feed pump cap clockwise to close the assembly.

D7.11.Maintenance of Cooling System
Engine cooling system consists of radiator, fan, water pump and a thermostat. The electronic
engine controller stops the engine if the coolant temperature exceeds a preset level.
Check coolant level in the Compensatory Bottle every day before starting the engine. If
required add the coolant in Compensatory Bottle. Do not add coolant level beyond the Max.

The coolant must be changed at intervals of 3000 hours operation or three years
whichever comes first.
D-53
D7.11.1 Radiator
Figure D - 48: Initial filling of Radiator
Add coolant only when the engine is cold. The temperature difference between the coolant in
the engine and the coolant being added must not exceed 50 °C. Top up coolant in only in the
Compensatory Bottle. Top coolant through the radiator cap only at the time of commissioning.
Do not open radiator cap while the engine is running. Do not open radiator cap when engine
is hot, even if not running. The cooling system is under pressure. Danger of burning skin!

cap while the engine is still hot,
cover the cap with a rag, then turn it slowly to release the internal steam pressure This will
prevent a person from scalding with hot steam spouted out from the filler port.
D7.11.3 Cleaning of Intercooler/Charge Air Cooler
The intercooler is air to air type and has a large cooling fan capacity. The intercooler life and
performance depends on the intake air condition greatly. Fouled air pollutes and clogs the air
fins of intercooler. As a result of this, the engine output is decreased and engine malfunction is
occurred. So you always check whether the intake air systems like air filter element are worn or
polluted.

A Dry Type air cleaner is supplied with the DV engine. This air cleaner consists of Outer and Inner
elements. Outer element is the main filter component with an in-built cyclone separator that gives a
swirling effect to incoming air to separate out heavy dust particles.The dust is collected in evacuator
valve at the bottom of air cleaner housing.
Inner element is a ‘Safety Element’ to prevent entry of foreign particles and dust when Outer element
is removed.
Replace if the elements or the cleaner is deformed, damaged or cracked. The elements must be
cleaned and replaced at regular intervals.
- Replace Inner Element every 1000 Hours.
- Change Outer Element every 500 Hours.
D8.1.1 Introduction of Dry Type Air Cleaner
Dry type air cleaner is available with plastic housing or sheet housing. The two types are illustrated in
the images below. Inlet cap or pre-cleaner attached ahead of air intake inlet prevents ingress of rain
and heavy particles.
Two filter elements are fitted coaxially in the air cleaner housing. The outer element is the main filter
element, with a built in cyclone separator that gives a swirling motion to incoming air, and separate
heavy dust particles by centrifugal action.
This dust is collected in the removable end cover. The vacuator valve at the bottom of cover helps in
expelling the accumulated dust. This is achieved by opening / closing of vacuator valve outlet due to
the airflow fluctuations inside the air cleaner. Inner element is a ‘Safety Element’ to prevent ingress of
dust into the engine, when the outer (main) element is removed for cleaning or replacement.
D8.1.2 Maintenance
•The pre-cleaner (if provided) should be cleaned to remove the accumulated dust, after each day’s
work, when the engine is stopped.
•The restriction indicator, mounted on air cleaner near the hose, indicates the condition of the air
cleaner element, when the air element is in good condition, a red signal will be seen through the
transparent window on the indicator when the engine is running and will disappear when engine is
stopped. However, if the element is choked, then the red signal will remain ‘ON’ even after engine is

stopped. This is an indication that the main filter element must be removed & cleaned or
replaced.
Figure D - 52: Discharging Vaccuator Valve
NOTE:
1.If engine performance is poor, but restriction is still within limits, do not change the element.
The air cleaner is probably not at fault.
2.To get extra service hours out of air cleaner element, make sure the air inlet is away from any
heavy dust clouds caused by operation. Make sure that exhaust carbon cannot enter the air
cleaner.
3.ischarge the dust vaccuator valve by pressing apart the lips of the ejection slot.
This is a dry type air cleaner. Ensure that not even a single drop of oil comes in
contract with the air cleaner. Protect air cleaner from ingress of rain / moisture.
D8.1.2.1 Cleaning Procedure
Figure D - 53: Opening Air Cleaner
•Remove the wing nut of the air cleaner and then remove the cover.
•Loosen the mounting band of the dust cup, remove outer element for checking and cleaning.
D-59
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Figure D - 54: Opening the Inner Element
•Do not remove inner element which is the safety element.
•Use a damp cloth to wipe all visible dust in the air cleaner.
•Thorough cleaning of the fitter element with compressed air is recommended.
D8.1.2.2 Cleaning of Filter Element
Figure D - 55: Cleaning Air Filter Element with Compressed Air
•Clean the element from inside towards outside by blowing compressed air as shown in above
figure.
•Replace the main element after two cleaning intervals.
•Avoid rapping, tapping or pounding the dust out of element as it will result in severe damage
to the filter element.
An excessive air pressure can tear the filter paper and destroy the element. (Maximum
Air Pressure is 3.0 kg/cm2)

D8.1.2.3 Inspection of Air Cleaner Element
Figure D - 56: Inspection of Air Cleaner Element
•Conducting a ‘Light’ test:
-Carefully check new or properly cleaned element for damage before installing.
-Conduct a light test by passing the light through element as shown in figure above.
-If there is any crack in the element, the light will pass through it.
-Replace a cracked element with a new part.
D8.1.2.4 Assembling Rubber Sealing Ring
Figure D - 57: Assembling Rubber Sealing Ring
•Inspect the rubber-sealing ring at the end cover of the element.
•Replace sealing ring in case of any cracks or damage.
•The inner element (Safety element) is not to be removed, when the main element is
removed for cleaning / replacement. A new safety element should be replaced every
time the main element is changed.
•Assemble the cleaned or new element in the air cleaner body and reinstall the end cover,
making sure it seals all around the air cleaner body.
•Reset the restriction indicator by operating the button at the top.
•For certain application involving extremely dusty environment, we recommend use of
series air cleaner systems, i.e. dry type air cleaner in series with oil bath air cleaner.

D8.1.3 Checking V-belt Tension
•Check the V - belt tension pressing with thumb midway between the pulleys to see whether
the belt deflects. The deflection should not be more than 10mm ~ 15mm, if necessary re-
adjust the belt tension.
•For the adjustment of the tension, loosen the adjusting nuts which support the alternator,
adjust the tension and tighten the nuts again
•Inspect V-belts over whole length for damage or cracks. Renew damaged or cracked v-belt.
•Never check / re-tension / renew V- belt while engine is running.
•Refit V-belt guard, if provided.

D8.2.1 Checking Valve Clearance
•Check clearance when engine is cold, at room temperature.
•The valve clearances are to be adjusted at the times of the following situations.
-After initial 50 hour’s operation.
-When the engine is overhauled and the cylinder heads are disassembled.
-When abnormal noise comes from valve train.
-When the engine is not normally operated, even though there is no trouble in the fuel
system.
•The valve clearance of the cold engine are as follows.
-Intake valves : 0.35mm
-Exhaust valves : 0.35mm
•Failing this, the valve clearance must be readjusted as mentioned in D8.2.2.
D8.2.2 Adjusting order of the valve clearance
Figure D - 60: Adjusting Valve Clearance

0.35mm 0.35 mm
1.Turn the flywheel so that Cyl.No.1 is at TDC, ensure that it is compression TDC, adjust the
valve clearances. Adjust valve clearances when engine is cold.
2.Loosen the lock nuts of rocker arm adjusting screws and push the feeler gauge of above
specified value between a rocker arm and a valve bridge and adjust the clearance with
adjusting screw respectively and then tighten with the lock nut.

3.Then turn the crankshaft as follows for adjusting valve clearances of other cylinders
A slack belt will rapidly wear and because of slip may not drive the alternator at the
required speed. Too tight a belt will impose severe side thrust on the bearings and seriously
shorten their life.
• In order to avoid damage to the alternator, observe the following instructions while the engine
is running:
-Do not disconnect the battery or pole terminals or the cables.
-If during operation, the battery charge failure is indicated, stop the engine immediately
and rectify the fault in the electrical system.
-Do not short-circuit the connections of the alternator with those of the regulator or with
ground, not even briefly bringing the connections into contact

1. Tightening Torque
To prevent faulty assembly, following information on tightening of high tensile bolts is important. The bolts are to
be tightened in stages as specified in the table below. For connecting rod bolt, Cylinder head and main bearing cap
bolt use angle torque method with the help of goniometer. The tightening angles for these two bolts are
particularly important, hence figure below indicates the various
angles can be readily obtained by comparison with a clock
face.

Brushless A C Generators
E1. General
E1.1 Introduction
Kirloskar Green (KG) Brushless AC Generators are of salient pole, revolving field, brushless,
horizontally foot mounted, and single/double bearing type. These AC Generators are available
with and without PMG generators Standard Voltage of operation i.e., 415/460 V at 50/60 Hz for
3Ø and 230/240 V at 50/60 Hz for 1Ø.
E1.2 Standards
The Kirloskar Green (KG) AC Generators generally comply with various national and
international standards such as IS: 4722, IS: 13364, BS: 5000 Part3 and IEC 6034-1 (34-1)
and specifications mutually agreed upon at the time of order.
E2.1 Stator
Stator of the AC Generator is made of high quality, low loss high permeability steel stamping
built rigidly to with stand all types of forces due to static, dynamic and transient loading
conditions. The armature coils are made up of enameled high conductivity copper wires with
E-1
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
class ‘H’ insulation, 2/3 pitch winding to eliminate triple and its multiple harmonics in the
generated output voltage. Windings are subjected to vacuum pressure impregnation for better
consolidation and the overhangs are provided with epoxy gel coating to protect against ingress
of dust, moisture and others. The winding leads themselves form the output terminals directly
from the armature without any joints on the overhang. All the 6/12 leads are brought out
sleeved and terminated with suitable crimping sockets.
E2.2 Rotor
The main rotor is made of low loss high permeability steel stamping, built directly on to the
shaft, which is then wound with field coils using high conductivity enameled copper for Class
‘H’ insulation. A set of completely interconnected damper winding cage is provided in the rotor
for compensation for any unbalance and during transient condition. Coil support blocks are
provided for adequate supporting of the coils from high centrifugal forces.
Exciter stator built up of high quality laminated steel stampings carries the field coils mounted
on the Non- Driving End shield of the machine. The coils are made up of high conductivity
enameled copper with class ‘H’ insulation. The coils are firmly supported by suitable epoxy
wedges inserted in between the pole shoes.
Exciter rotor built up of thin laminations in the form of riveted core carries three phase armature
windings and is mounted on to the shaft. The winding is made of high conductivity enabled
copper with class ‘H’ Insulation. The output winding leads are terminated at the rotating rectifier
assembly.
Rotating Rectifier Assembly is a three-phase bridge rectifier mounted on two Aluminum heat
sinks. Provisions are made in the rectifier assembly for connecting the main rotor leads and
surge suppressor provided to protect the diodes from surge voltages.
E2.6 Impregnation
All the windings are impregnated with Class ‘H’ resin and taken through the temperature curing
cycle to form a rigid winding. The overhangs are protected with a coat of epoxy gel application
against ingress of dust, moisture and others particles.
E2.7 Balancing
All generators rotors are dynamically balanced to better than Grade 2.5 (BS 6861: Part 1) for
minimum vibration in operation.
E-2
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
The sheet metal/cast Aluminum terminal box having ample space is fixed on the top of the NDE
end shield. 6/12 output terminals are terminated. It is possible to terminate the customer cables
on either side, depending on the customer’s choice. The Voltage Regulator is also mounted
inside the terminal box and terminated.
E2.9 Bearings
Two nos. of anti-friction double shielded ball bearings are provided one each at NDE and DE in
double bearing machine and only one at NDE in case of Single/double Bearing machine.
Adequate care is taken in the design of the Single/double Bearing machine to accommodate
for possible axial differences in the close coupling system.
E2.10 Ventilation
The AC Generators are self-cooled. The centrifugal Aluminum/Steel fan fitted on the shaft at
the driving end of the rotor draws the fresh air through the opening provided at the NDE cover
and discharges through ventilating ducts provided in the DE End Shield in double bearing
machines and adaptor in Single Bearing machines. The method of cooling is IC 01 as per
IS:6362.
E2.11 Earthing
Two earthling screws provided on the feet ribs are used for grounding of the AC Generator.
Two space heaters (optional) suitable for 230 V / 24 V, single phase/ DC are provided on each
overhang of the main stator winding of AC Generator on request.

•QDC pot for Quadrature droop adjustment during parallel operation (Optional).
•Stability pot for adjustment of the response.
•Frequency-Roll-Off pot to set the frequency range.
•Over excitation limit pot to set the excitation limit
These optional accessories are provided on the customer requirement. These are basically for
the protection of the machine while working on the extreme conditions. The following
accessories are provided.
1.In this generator there is a separate source to AVR from a small permanent magnet A.C.
generator mounted on the same shaft as the main machine. Refer Figure E - 2 on page 5.
2.The permanent magnet produces an output voltage that is only dependent on speed and is
independent of load conditions. This constant output voltage is fed to the exciter field winding
through the AVR.
3.By comparing the main output ‘sensed’ voltage with the ‘set reference’ voltage, the AVR
decides on the proportion of permanent magnet machine output to rectify and feed to the exciter
field.
4.The exciter rotor output would then increase, established a strong main field and therefore a
marked increase in main output voltage.
5.The AVR senses and compares voltages and adjusts exciter field excitation until desired
output voltage is developed. In this way the main stator voltage is progressively built up until the
‘sensed’ voltage is the same as the ‘set reference’ voltage.

E3.3 Advantages of PMG Excitation System:
1.AVR used on the machine is of proven design, reliability and performance. These are unique
encapsulated against moisture, sand, salt, humidity and corrosive atmosphere ensuring trouble
free operations under the most demanding conditions. The voltage regulation offered is +/-
0.8%.
•Transient voltage dips are lower.
•Wave-form distortion on no-load is less than 1.8%. Total harmonic distortion and the
telephonic interference is less than 4% in distorting balanced linear load.
•All stators are wound to 2/3rd pitch, which along with PMG excitation system as optional and
2 line sensed as standard AVR and 3 line sensing as optional to provide better system
performance.
•Damper winding on poles ensure smooth parallel operation with similar and dissimilar
machines and with the grid. Power factor controller is recommended when balancing with
gird.
•Liberally rated diode used in rotating rectifier assembly ensures high reliability.
•The rotating diodes are protected by a surge suppresser which has the ability to chop the
transients.
•Short Circuit Current with stand capability is up to 3 times the rated current for 3 seconds.
•Excellent motor starting capacity 2.5 times rated kVA.
E4.2 Process
•Gel coat application is a standard feature which enhances the mechanical strength of the
winding overhang and ensures trouble free performance in humid and corrosive atmosphere.
•Burr free stamping pack construction and file free winding results in excellent quality of
winding and also better machine life.
•Hammer free assembly and sealed bearing increase bearing life.
•Dynamically balanced rotor to minimize vibration.

E6.1 Temperature
These AC Generators are designed for an ambient temperature of 40°C. For other applications
where the ambient temperature is greater than 40°C, the AC Generators must be de-rated to
ensure that the actual temperature does not exceed the specified limit.
Outputs are normally quoted at 40°C. These outputs must be multiplied by the following factors
for higher ambient temperatures.

50 0.94
55 0.91
60 0.88
E6.2 Altitude
Above 1000 m the effectiveness of the air is reduced sufficiently to make de-rating necessary.
For altitudes above 1000 m outputs must be multiplied by the following factors.

E7.1 Linear Loads
•The load current increases proportionately as the voltage increases and decreases as the
voltage decreases.
Examples of linear loads are motor, incandescent lamp and heating loads.
To select the rating of AC Generator for linear loads the maximum connected load and the
base load which is always connected has to be considered. In arriving at a total load figure is
always wise to select the standard rating larger than that estimated. This despite the fact that
all the loads may not be operating at the same time hence a smaller machine could have been
selected. Future operating conditions and future growth are very difficult to estimate. An
allowance of 15% to 20% excess capacity designed into a set now is a small price to pay
compared with the cost of completely new larger unit that may be required to drive additional
loads in a few years time.
It is the nature of the applied load that dictates the system power factor.
1.The loads which operate at or very close to unity (1.0) power factor include most forms of
lighting, all heating elements, rectifier and thyristor type loads & all domestic loads which are
fractional hp motors (washing machine, refrigerator, etc.).
2.For all remaining load types, some knowledge of operating power factor is required, which for
motors depends a great deal on their size and power rating.
Kirloskar Green (KG) A C Generators perform satisfactorily at any power factor in the range of
0.8 p.f lag to unity. For p.f operation at leading low power factor Please refer back to works.
E-10
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
Over a period of time the loads applied to AC generators have become more complex and
more care has to be exercised in the sizing of the generators to ensure satisfactory
performance.
a) A non linear load is one in which the load current is not proportional to the instantaneous
voltage. Often the load current is not continuous.
b) These are essentially electronic loads such as computers, UPS equipments and variable
speed motor drives.
a) Non linear loads generate harmonics in their current waveform which in turn leads to
distortion of the AC generator waveform. Depending upon the degree of voltage waveform
distortion this can lead to instability of the excitation systems and impact on other loads being
supplied by the generator.
b) Odd order harmonics cause heating of neutral conductors.
