19/04/24 genset failure, excitation circuit windings failure. Hire genset installed 20/04 and maintenance has informed us could possibly be 3 weeks from the 19th until we see the original genset reinstated. There is an email outlining the start up and shutdown procedure. Brody is looking into the fuelling of the genset as it stands now we are fuelling up the genset at the fill point on the genset as the ships fuel lines to the genset have been blanked off. Have been unable to identify the tank capacity but after 14 hours of run time the genset has 28% remaining in the tank. At this point it seems it will need to be refuelled on a daily basis.
Genset operation procedure
Start up
1. Ensure all AC units are shut down and isolated and all other 240 volt appliances are off.
2. Ensure shore power/Genset selector switch in STBD engine room cabinet remains on the shore power selector.
3. Genset start up, check oil level stbd side check coolant level expansion tank port side check belts and battery, turn on battery isolator located stbd side
4. Control panel at front of genset ensure AC breaker is off at 3 phase plug, turn key to preheat for several seconds then to run to start up genset.
5. Turn off shore power at SLB post breaker remove shore power cable from vessel shore power inlet, insert shore power cable from ships genset
6. On genset turn on breaker that has cable attached.
7. Proceed to start up all AC units and other 240v equipment.
8. Shutdown procedure same but in reverse
9. It seems the genset will need refuelling on a daily basis as after 14 hours of run time there is 28% remaining. Maintenance have indicated they may utilise Jerry cans to fill genset as we have roughly worked out it holds approximately 55ltrs.
Hannah is laminating a copy of genset procedure and should be in pigeon hole in the morning for collection.
