D. Generator Failure
D.1 Overloading the Generator
Please ensure that the genset is not overloaded. An overload in the long term can harm the
engine. In addition the exhaust gases are soot-blackened (environment).
The full rated output of the generator is intended primarily for brief use. It is however needed, in
order to start electric motors or make special approach procedures possible.
As continuous load should be calculated in the interest of a long life span of the engine
80% of the nominal load.
You should consider this when switching on the devices on. This calculation serves a long life
span of the engine. By continuous power we understand the continuous operation of the genera-
tor over many hours. It is harmless for the engine to supply occasionally over 2-3 hours the full
rated power. The total conception of the Panda generator guarantees that the continuous load
operation does not release superelevated temperatures of the engine also with extreme conditi-
ons. In addition, it is to be considered that the exhaust gas values in the full load enterprise
become more unfavorable (soot formation).
Effects of Short Circuiting and Overloading on the Generator
The generator
cannot
be damaged by short circuiting or overloading. Short circuiting and over-
loading suppress the magnetic excitation of the generator, thus, no current is generated and the
voltage will collapse. This condition is immediately offset once the short-circuit has been elimina-
ted and/or the electrical overload removed.
D.2 Adjusting the nominal charge current
ATTENTION! Before working on the system read the section “Safety Instructions” on
Page iv.
These adjustments may not be changed, they are sealed. The adjustments should be changed
expires the warranty.
The adjustments of the nominal charging current is made at the actuator. By the nuts on the left
and on the right at the spindle of the actuator the adjustment is limited.
The generator must be started and loaaded with the nominal dates. The engine adjusts the speed
regulator lever after a short time in such a way that the generator supplies appropriate nominal
dates. The adjusting nuts must be fixed to this point. This delimitation serves for the protection of
the generator, so that it is not overloaded.
