4.7.Transfer Panels
Transfer panels are used for controlling and transferring the output power safely. So the equipment in these panels
(circuit breaker, contactor, fuses, etc…) must be at proper ratings depending on the output power and current
rating of generator set. The switching equipment must be controlled by the generator set controller in automatic
mode applications.
The transfer panel must be designed so that the generator set cannot be started or stopped under load, otherwise
there may be seen various problems on both the generator set or the alternator.
Under voltage release coils must be used for motorized circuit breakers applications. Also changeover relays can
be used in manual mode applications with thermal magnetic circuit breakers.
Wiring diagrams of the transfer panels supplied, can be found inside the documentation supplied along with the
generator set.
5-MAINTENANCE
5.1.General
Maintaining the generator set properly and periodically is a key factor in terms of efficiency, durability and safety of
operation. It also necessary for being sure that the generator set is always ready for operation and minimizing any
risk of failure on the generator set.
The parts to be controlled or to be replaced during a maintenance activity, have been declared in the “Generator
Set Maintenance Schedule”. Any further details about this issue can also be looked up from the manuals supplied
with both the engine and alternator. Be sure to perform all maintenance activities according to the recommended
schedule.
All the documentation including service registration forms, model and serial number nameplates, drawings or
diagrams, spare part lists, maintenance schedules and the manuals supplied with the generator set, must be kept
in a good condition. Remind that all these documentation may be needed during any service or repairing activity.
The staff who will perform any maintenance or repair activity on the generator set, must be trained and authorized.
• Be sure that there is nobody left around or inside the generator set before running it or performing any
maintenance or repair activity on it. Keep all the doors locked after finishing any repair or maintenance activity.
• Be sure that the engine is stopped before performing any maintenance activities like lubrication oil fill-up,
coolant fill-up or changing battery electrolytes.
• Also remove the AC supply connection of the charger device and the battery (-) connection from the battery
pole before starting to work on the engine. This will prevent the engine from starting
without your control. Also place a warning around the connections you have removed, so
nobody around touches or re-connects them.
• Always be sure to make the necessary changes on the generator set when it is
stopped. Stop it for making changes, make the necessary changes and run it again. Do not
forget that only some qualified technicians which have a deep expertise on related issues,
can make changes on a running generator set.
