What is DG and principles

Question

Accepted Answer

DG stands for Diesel Generator. It is a backup power source that uses diesel fuel to generate electricity.

DG is an acronym for Diesel Generator.
It is commonly used as a backup power source in case of power outages.
DGs are often used in industries, commercial buildings, hospitals, and residential complexes.
They work on the principle of converting diesel fuel into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy.
DGs consist of an engine, alternator, fuel system, cooling system, and control panel.
They require regular maintenance and fuel refilling to ensure proper functioning.
DGs are usually started automatically when there is a power failure and automatically shut down when the main power supply is restored.
They provide a reliable source of electricity during emergencies or in areas with unreliable power supply.
DGs come in various sizes and capacities depending on the power requirements of the facility or building.
Example: A hospital may have a DG to ensure uninterrupted power supply for critical medical equipment during power outages.
