Maintenance of Diesel Powered Generator Essential to Avoid Any Hazards
Generators are useful when you need temporary electric power, but they also can be
dangerous. Diesel generators are recommended due to their longevity and lower operating
costs. The process of installing, operating and maintaining power sets carries with them
occupational hazards, the hazards and risks associated with installation, operation and
maintenance of diesel powered generator.
School and Office systems across the country rely on a large number of diesel powered
school buses. Diesel gensets offer the benefits of both fuel economy and durability. But there
is also a downside to the use of these- diesel fuel and diesel exhaust exposure. The diesel
engine is a type of internal combustion engine, more particularly; it is a compression ignition
engine. The diesel engine fuel is ignited by suddenly exposing it to high temperature created
by pressure of a compressed gas containing oxygen. Thus extra care needs to be taken if we
are using diesel or other generator sets at our home or workplace.
 Generators pose a risk of shock and electrocution, especially if they are operated in
wet conditions. It is important to protect the generator from moisture to help avoid the
shock/electrocution hazard and also without operating the generator indoors that can
be occupied in order to help avoid the CO hazard. It is advisable to make the
generator run under an open, canopy-like structure on a dry surface where water
cannot reach it or puddle or drain under it.
 Flammable liquids like diesel should be stored outside of living areas in properly-
labelled, non-glass safety containers. Also do not store them near a fuel-burning
appliance, like a natural gas water heater in a garage
 Never try to power your home by plugging the generator into a wall outlet – an unsafe
practice known as “back-feeding.” This extremely dangerous practice creates an
electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbours served by the same utility
transformer
 If fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapours can travel
along the ground and then can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcs from
electric switches in the appliance
 Maintenance on regular basis should be performed on exhaust systems to ensure that
they are connected and are in working order; filters too should be changed and
maintained on regular basis.

Generator Sets offer a fuel savings of 3 to 5% and nearly double the mean time between
maintenance in a typical power application.
