Genset (Diesel Generator / DG Set) Wiring Harnesses are bundles of electrical wires and connectors designed to connect various components of a diesel generator. These harnesses carry electrical power and signals between parts such as the engine, alternator, control unit, sensors, and battery. They ensure organized wiring, reduce the risk of short circuits, simplify installation, and improve the overall reliability and maintenance of the generator system.
Power Distribution carry electrical power from the alternator to the control panel and output terminals. It connects the battery to the starter motor and other components and facilitates the supply of power to sensors, relays, solenoids, and actuators. Signal transmits electrical signals between the generator controller and sensors/actuators. It enables feedback from sensors to the control module (e.g., oil pressure, coolant temperature) and sends start/stop signals from the control panel to the engine.
Engine Starting Circuit connects the starter motor, starter relay, ignition switch, and battery which supplies power to the solenoid that engages the starter gear with the engine flywheel. Control Panel Interface connects to the AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) or ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch). It integrates with the controller unit (like Deep Sea, SmartGen, etc.) and manages the functions like auto start, stop, fault shutdown, and alarm systems.
Charging Circuit connects the alternator’s auxiliary winding or separate battery charger to charge the battery. Lighting and Auxiliary Circuits : Provides wiring for control panel backlights, indicators, horn, buzzer, and emergency lights.
