What is the reason why Volvo generator sets can't be started

The Volvo generator set is a backup power source, it is bad when it is difficult to start if it is needed at a critical time. Today we will analyze the reasons why it can't be started.

1. Check if the battery voltage reaches the rated voltage of 24V.

When the generator is normally in an automatic state, the electronic Control Module ECM monitors the state of the entire unit and the communication between the EMCP control panel is maintained by the battery power supply. When the external battery charger fails, the battery power is not replenished to cause a voltage drop. At this point, the battery must be charged. The charging time depends on the discharge condition of the battery and the rated current of the charger. When the situation is urgent, it is generally recommended to replace the battery.

2. Check if the battery terminal and the connecting cable are in poor contact.

If the battery electrolyte is too much replenished during normal maintenance, it will easily overflow the surface of the battery and the connection post will increase the contact resistance and make the cable connection poor. In this case, sanding the binding post with the corrosion layer of the cable connector and retightening the screw can be fully contacted.

3. Is the positive and negative cable connection of the starter motor not strong? When the generator is running, vibration is generated to make the connection loose and cause poor contact.

There is less chance of starting motor failure, but it cannot be ruled out. Judging the operation of the starter motor can manually touch the outer casing of the motor at the moment of starting the engine. If the starter motor is not moving and the casing is cold, the motor is not working. Or the starter motor is severely hot, and there is a stimulating burnt smell, and the motor coil has been burnt. It takes a long time to repair the motor and it is recommended to replace it directly.

4. There is air in the fuel system

This is a more common failure, usually caused by improper handling when replacing the fuel filter element. When the air enters the pipeline with the fuel, the fuel content in the pipeline is reduced and the pressure is lowered, causing the engine to fail to start. At this point, exhaust treatment is required.
