Design and Development of Control Panel Box for Diesel Generator using Finite Element Method

Mechanical Engineering

Now a days Diesel generator set have become basic need of the modern world for constant electric supply or for power back up solutions. A Diesel Generator set consists of a diesel generator, an alternator and a control panel box. The speed of a diesel engine in a generator may have speed ranging within different limits but alternator have to maintain a constant electrical supply of frequency 50 Hz. Many vibration issues are related with the Diesel Generator set. The vibration level becomes severe when the engine runs at highest speed. Control Panel is one of the key elements of Diesel Generator set. The control panel covers some of the intricate components and electrical circuits which is hard to replace frequently. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the design and development of a control panel for given generator to minimize its vibrations in order to avoid resonance.
