SOP-D.G

Standard  Operating Procedure- Diesel Generator

Starting procedure for Diesel Generators in "AUTO" mode

Keep both the Emergency Stop switches in AMF panel and Generator panel released condition

In AMF panel keep the Selector switch in "Auto" mode of all DG set

In Generator panel keep the key switch in "AUTO" mode

Ensure the Lube oil level with in the allowable limit.

Check day tank diesel level (above 80%)

Keep the radiator water upto the Brim

Check the battery condition

If Transformer-1&2,only TFR # 1,or TFR # 2 incomer breaker goes "Off" or if power fails  D.G will start automatically

Ensure DG Outgoing # 1 and 2 ACB for Close,if open close manually

Check D.G Output Voltage,load current,Frequency,Water Temp.,Lube oil Pressure,Battery Voltage and Day tank diesel level every 15 minutes once and record in once in a hour

Stopping procedure for Diesel Generators "AUTO" mode.

Ensure the EB supply voltage is with in the limit (400V to 440V)

Check and ensure that protective relays (Over current,Earth fault,Earth Leakage Over/Under Voltage etc) are in normal mode, reset if required

Ensure that Trip circuit healthy lamp indication is glowing

changer over will happen from Emergency supply to Normal supply

Now D.G load transferred to EB. D.G breaker goes off automatically

Starting procedure for Diesel Generators in "Manual" mode

Keep both the Emergency Stop switches in AMF panel and Generator panel released condition

Ensure the Lube oil level with in the allowable limit.

Check day tank diesel level (above 80%)

Keep the radiator water upto the Brim

Check the battery condition

Switch On the DG #1 and DG#2 manually.

Ensure all parameters of DG in limit  and close the DG breakers and MV panel output breakers in DG AMF panel

Check D.G Output Voltage,load current,Frequency,Water Temp.,Lube oil Pressure,Battery Voltage and Day  tank diesel level every 15 minutes once and record in once in a hour

Stopping procedure for Diesel Generators in "Manual" mode

Take the necessary readings

Ensure the EB Supply voltage is with in the limit

Check and ensure that protective relays (Over current,Earth fault,Earth Leakage Over/Under Voltage etc) are in normal mode, reset if required

Ensure that Trip circuit healthy lamp indication is glowing

Ensure the changover happen automaticaly in ATS panel

After 3 minutes switch OFF the DG by pressing stop button

Check the diesel level in the day tank,add diesel if needed
