Generators are machines that provide electric current. The system that converts mechanical energy or any energy into electrical energy is called a generator. Alternating and direct current generators are divided into gasoline, diesel, natural gas and so on. they can also produce electricity by working with fuels. Almost every facility, businesses, schools, hospitals, shopping centers and so on. generator is used in large places. Generators, which are used especially against electricity outages in workplaces, are also used in residential buildings for the same purpose. The equipment that makes up the generator ensures that the battery is recharged when discharged and maintenance work is performed in case of charging. These equipment also provide convenient current sources and transport of electrical charge.
As you know, a generator is called the system that is activated when the electricity is cut off and provides the electricity in the environment for a certain period of time. The generator is generally used in large factories, businesses or large facilities. It is used in large factories to prevent production from stopping. Apart from these, it is also used in data centers, in my mind. Generators meet the energy requirement by activating in the feeding of the national grid at large powers or when a facility, place or enterprise is without energy. Maintenance and periodic controls of generators not only extend the life of the generator, but also increase the working efficiency. Cold water level, oil level, leakage control, battery charge checks are performed in generators.
Generators can also be operated by utilizing water, solar, wind and steam turbines to obtain mechanical energy. With the help of the movement of these forces which will give and move the first energy and with the help of electric motors, the generator is activated. Safety measures should be taken for generators that are produced in large or small sizes or capacities according to the needs of the enterprises. The operating principle of the generator is based on the conductor moving in the right and left directions in an area where the induction current flows. The magnetic field around the conductor rotates clockwise. Efficiency is provided by the induction current on the conductor.
The first generator was produced by Faraday in 1831. Today, generators, which are among the indispensables of daily life, play a very important role in the generation of electrical energy. Generators should be protected against fire, sudden load changes and impacts. In addition, most importantly, maintenance and periodic checks must be done. Generators run periodically and run long and healthy.
Since the generators, which have many varieties in themselves, are the machines that generate electric current as a result, necessary precautions should be taken and their regular controls should be done in a timely manner in order not to create danger and to work safely.
The Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment describes the minimum requirements for the health and safety of all work machines and equipment used in the workplace. In accordance with the regulations, the compressors must be checked and inspected regularly by authorized mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians at least once a year.
As TÜRCERT, it performs the inspections and inspections of the generators in accordance with the standards and test methods published by the responsible organizations in accordance with the regulations. A few standards are based on:
- TS HD 60364-5-551 / A11 Electrical installation in buildings - Part 5: Selection and installation of electrical equipment - Group 55: Other equipment - Part 551: Low voltage generator sets
- TS ISO 8528-3 Alternating current generator sets driven by reciprocating internal combustion engines - Part 3: Alternating current generators for generator sets
- TS ISO 8528-4 ... Section 4: Control and attachment
- TS ISO 8528-5 ... Section 5: Generator sets
- TS 12650 Authorized services - Generators driven by internal combustion engines - Rules
