Diesel engine
In some motors or for special requirements the speed
regulator is electronic; in these cases, precision under
static operating conditions attains ±0.25%, and the
frequency is maintained constant in operation from no-
load to load (isochronal operation).
POWER FACTOR - COS
ϕϕϕϕϕ
The power factor is a value which depends on the load’s
electrical specifications; it indicates the ratio between
the Active Power (kW) and Apparent Power (kVA). The
apparent power is the total power necessary for the load,
achieved from the sum of the active power supplied by
the motor (after the alternator has transformed the
mechanical power into electrical power), and the Reactive
Power (kVAR) supplied by the alternator. The nominal
value for the power factor is cos
ϕ
= 0,8; for different
values comprised between 0.8 and 1 it is important
during usage not to exceed the declared active power
(kW), so as to not overload the electricity-generating
group motor; the apparent power (kVA) will diminish
proportionally to the increase of cos
ϕ
.
For cos
ϕ
values of less than 0.8 the alternator must be
downgraded, since at equal apparent power the
alternator should supply a greater reactive power. For
reduction coefficients, contact the Technical Service
Department.
START-UP OF ASYNCHRONOUS MOTORS
The start-up of asynchronous motors from an electricity-
generating group can prove critical because of high
start-up currents the asynchronous motor requires (I
start-up = up to 8 times the nominal current In.). The
start-up current must not exceed the alternator’s
admissible overload current for brief periods, generally
in the order of 250–300% for 10–15 seconds.
To avoid a group oversize, we recommend following
these precautionary measures:
- in the case of a start-up of several motors, subdivide
the motors into groups and set up their start-up at
intervals of 30–60 seconds.
- when the operating machine coupled to the motor
allows it, see to a start-up with reduced voltage, star
point/triangle start-up or with autotransformer, or use
a soft-start system.
In all cases, when the user circuit requires the start-up
of an asynchronous motor, it is necessary to check that
there are no utilities inserted into the installation, which
in the case of a voltage droop can cause more or less
serious disservices (opening of contact points, temporary
lack of power to control and command systems, etc.).
SINGLE-PHASE LOADS
Power to monophase utilities by means of three-phase
generators requires some operating limitations.
- In single-phase operation, the declared voltage
tolerance can no longer be maintained by the regulator
(compound or electronic regulator), since the system
becomes highly unbalanced.
The voltage variation
on the phases not affected by the power can prove
dangerous; we recommend sectioning the other
loads eventually connected

- The maximum power which can be drawn between
Neutral and Phase (start connection) is generally 1/3
of the nominal three-phase power; some types of
alternators even allow for 40%. Between two Phases
(triangle connection) the maximum power cannot exceed
2/3 of the declared three-phase power.
- In electricity-generating groups equipped with
monophase sockets, use these sockets for connecting
the loads. In other cases, always use the "R" phase
and Neutral.
ELECTRIC PROTECTIONS
THERMAL-MAGNETIC SWITCH
The electricity-generating group is protected against short-
circuits and against overloads by a thermal-magnetic
switch (Z2) situated upstream from the installation.
Operating currents, both thermic and magnetic, can be
fixed or adjustable in relation to the switch model.
☞
In models with adjustable operating current do not
modify the settings, since doing so can compromise the
installation’s protection or the electricity-generating
group’s output characteristics. For
eventual variations, contact our
Technical Service Department.
The intervention of the protection
feature against overloads is not
instantaneous, but follows a current
overload/time outline; the greater the
overload the less the intervention.
Furthermore, keep in mind that the nominal operating
current refers to an operating temperature of 30°C, so
that each variation of 10°C roughly corresponds to a
variation of 5% on the value
of nominal current.
In case of an intervention on
the part of the thermal
magnetic protection device,
check that the total absorption does not exceed the
electricity-generating group’s nominal current.
