Diesel Generator Start-Up Guidelines & Delays

The typical start-up time of a diesel generator set: From ignition to stable power generation, imported units take approximately 5-15 seconds, while domestic units range from 15-30 seconds.

Diesel engines exhibit high fuel consumption and increased component wear at low water temperatures. After starting, loads should be gradually increased, and normal loading is only allowed once the water temperature stabilizes. If automatic loading cannot control the load, connection should be delayed until the water temperature reaches at least 70°C.

Top 10 Causes of Prolonged Diesel Generator Start-Up:

1.Insufficient capacity of the starting battery.

2.Inadequate pre-start preheating.

3.Excessively low start-up throttle potentiometer in some electronically controlled diesel generator sets.

4.Operation in high-altitude areas with thin air.

5.Generator set operating in low-temperature conditions.

6.Use of incorrect fuel type or grade.

7.Presence of water in the fuel.

8.Air entrainment or fuel shortage in the fuel system.

9.Severe clogging of the fuel filter.

10.Severe blockage in the intake system.
