4 Frequently Asked Questions about “What to do if the generator wind temperature alarm is high - Inala Strategic Solar”
What to do when the high temperature alarm of the diesel generator set?
When the high temperature alarm of the diesel generator set, it should be shut down in time to check the cause and eliminate it.
How do I know if my generator coolant is too hot?
The generators coolant is too hot. Coolant heats up as the engine is running; the coolant is pumped (by the 'water pump') through the radiator where the engine fan blows ambient air through the radiators matrix to reduce the coolants temperature. Check the temperature of the coolant.
What is a water/coolant temperature detection device on a generator?
On most generators by Welland Power and other manufacturers you will find two different water/coolant temperature detection devices fitted, a switch and a sender. The Switch, often supplied by the engine manufacturer is used to shut down the engine in the event of the coolant becoming too hot. On fault, it closes to earth.
Why does my Generator keep shutting down?
The resistance or voltage (depending on the sender fitted) changes depending on the coolant temperature. It is normal not to get a reading below about 60 degrees (the same as your car). So why might the generator be shutting down? The generators coolant is too hot.
