Sizing Your Generator

March 29th, 2010

Sizing Your Generator

 

In selecting an Alternating Current (A.C.) generating set consider the following points:

 

    1. Total electrical load connected – including any motors i.e. Bore hole pump etc.

    2. Voltage, frequency and phase

    3. Special requirements

    4. Whether automatically started or not

    5. Acceptable sound emissions

 

CONNECTED LOAD or ASSESSED LOAD

 

Having assessed the total connected load, consider next the portion of the load that is likely to be switched on at any time. A Generator set with an output a little in excess of the figure should be selected to allow for contingencies. Always allow for future expansion.

 

VOLTAGE, FREQUENCY AND PHASE

 

A.C. current is usually supplied by Public Electricity undertakings in sub-Saharan Africa at 230volts and a frequency of 50 cycles (Hertz). The normal supply to the average house is single phase being a two wire systems. The three phase four wire system is usually taken to factories to give higher voltage (The voltage between phases, known as the line voltage has a direct relationship to the phase voltage. 1.73 to 1, i.e. – 230 volt phase voltage, 400 volt line voltage). It is advantageous to use a three – phase supply for electric motor loads both on consideration of price and starting characteristics. Single phase sets with outputs up to 12kW or 15kVA are normally sufficient for domestic installations.

 

Manual change over:

 

This is a manual switch normally with a pilot light wired so that when the mains is on the light shows. It would have a Mains/Neutral/Generator switch to ensure that it is either mains on or generator on but never both.

 

Automatic Standby to Mains:

 

Sets can normally be supplied which start automatically and take up the load when the mains fail. On restoration of the mains supply the load is automatically transferred to mains and the generator set shuts down. There will always be a delay between mains failure and the generator starting up and supplying full load so if sensitive equipment is being used or computer systems an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) should be installed to ensure no loss of Data. Time delay on switch over can be between 3 seconds and 30 seconds dependant on the generator system installed.

Brushless alternators

March 10th, 2010

Brushless alternators

Construction

A brushless alternator is composed of two alternators built end-to-end on one shaft. Smaller brushless alternators may look like one unit but the two parts are readily identifiable on the large versions. The larger of the two sections is the main alternator and the smaller one is the exciter. The exciter has stationary field coils and a rotating armature (power coils). The ac generator uses the opposite configuration with a rotating field and stationary armature. A bridge rectifier, called the rotating rectifier assembly, is mounted on a plate attached to the rotor. Neither brushes nor slip rings are used, which reduces the number of wearing parts.

AC alternator

The ac alternator has a rotating field as described above and a stationary armature (power generation windings).

Control system

Varying the amount of current through the stationary exciter field coils varies the 3-phase output from the exciter. This output is rectified by a rotating rectifier assembly, mounted on the rotor, and the resultant DC supplies the rotating field of the main alternator and brusheless alternator output. The result of all this is that a small DC exciter current indirectly controls the output of the main alternator.

Automatic voltage regulator (AVR)

An automatic voltage control device controls the field current to keep output voltage constant.

Varying the amount of current through the stationary exciter field coils varies the 3-phase output from the exciter. This output is rectified by a rotating rectifier assembly, mounted on the rotor, and the resultant DC supplies the rotating field of the main alternator and brusheless alternator output. The result of all this is that a small DC exciter current indirectly controls the output of the main alternator.

For 200kw firstall’s alternators

December 7th, 2009

A lot of customers ask us about the alternators 200kw.

As every knows, it has two design for 200kw alternators.  They are different from the frame size:  274K and 4C(314).

So the prices are not the same. Even with a big gap between this two type.

4C-200kw : The core length is 275 . It has 60 slot wire

274k-200kw: The core lenght is 450. It has 48 slot wire.

So the output is not the same.

Advantages of a PMG Excitation Support System Installed On Firstall’s

November 27th, 2009

1. A PMG with its appropriate regulator can enhance a generator’s transient

performance because it will provide a constant AC voltage input to the

automatic voltage regulator  regardless of the generator’s terminal

voltage.

A synchronous generator is taking its input power from the

generator is termed a shunt excited generator. If the generator’s terminal

voltage is reduced as is seen with transient voltage dips upon the application

of significant block loading or motor starting, the input voltage to the  is

reduced by the percentage of transient voltage dip. This reduction in input

voltage to the reduces its ability to force swift recovery of the generator’s

terminal voltage, and may well impact the generator’s ability to start relatively

large motor loads.

2. A PMG with its appropriate regulator can also provide 300% short circuit

support for ten seconds at 60 Hz, without the addition of current boost/series

boost systems.

When a down stream bolted fault is seen at any generator’s terminals, the

generator output voltage will drop to zero. For shunt excited generators, this

will result in zero voltage input to the , and therefore, the generator may

be unable to force current flow long enough for down stream circuit

interrupters to clear the fault, and the entire electrical system will be shut

down. A PMG excitation support system will continue to provide input power

to the , and provide the excitation necessary to clear the fault.

3. When the load on the generator is nonlinear due to thyrister (SCR) power

supplies such as UPS Systems, variable speed drives, etc., the load may

produce notches on the voltage severe enough to cause misfiring of the

power rectifiers in a shunt excited generator’s . When this occurs, the

generator’s terminal voltage will become unstable.

If the generator is fitted with a PMG, the power input to the  is isolated

from these disturbances, and no voltage unstability will occur.

4. A PMG is constructed with a permanent magnet rotor which has a very strong

magnetic field. This eliminates the need for field flashing which is sometimes

necessary with shunt type synchronous generators.

Why do you choose Firstall’s alternators?

November 26th, 2009

WH series brushless alternators manufactured with alternators’unique design & technology are ranged from 6.5KVA–1250KVA. It can be commonly queipped with engines from all famous brands in the world. Such as  Perkins  Deutz Lister Petter Volovo  Mtu Man John deer  etc.  And of course with Yangdong Weichai Dongfanghong in demestic. They have been successfully applied in the fields of Mine Construction shipping agriculture railway military oil field telecommunications and refrigerated container etc.

Reliable prformance

Reliable preformance is the major advantage of Firstall  WH series alternators and Leroy somer type alternators .  And this reliablity is based on the oustanding design in every aspect and the strict QC system.
