Mode of Operation of the Generator
A.1.2 Overloading of engine during longer operation
Please ensure that the genset is not overloaded. Overloading occurs when the electrical load
(demand) induces a load torque in the generator which is higher than that which the diesel drive
motor can provide. Overloading causes the engine to run rough, burn oil, creates excessive
exhaust (environmentally unfriendly) and even to stall. Extra caution should be practised with
multi-power units (single and 3-phase current generation) to avoid overloading the diesel drive
engine.
The generator should only be loaded at the peak
rated power for short periods only! A high peak
current is required to start many electrical
devices, especially electric motors and compressors
(from a still stand state).
The height of the rated output (P) can taken from
the identification plate attached on the housing.
In order to guarantee a long life span, the continuous
load should not exceed 80% of the nominal
load. By continuous output we understand the
continuous operation of the generator over many
hours. It is harmless for the engine to supply for
2-3 hours the full rated output.
The total conception of the Panda generator guarantees that the continuous load operation does
not release superelevated temperatures of the engine also with extreme conditions. It is to be
considered that the exhaust gas values in the full load operation become more unfavorable (soot
formation).
A.1.3 Use the fuel purge switch S2 for fuel delivery
Switch on the "Stand by"-switch at the
control panel. Functional elements must
shine.
Press „Fuel purge“-switch S2 (located at
the air suction housing) and hold. The
electrical fuel pump must run audibly. The
pressing of the switch become audible
switching on and off of the fuel solenoid
valve at the generator (with removed
sound cover).
