Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Diesel Generator Daily Check Purpose: To ensure that the diesel generator is in good condition and ready for use. Scope: This SOP applies to all personnel responsible for operating the diesel generator. Procedure: Check the fuel level: Check the fuel level of the diesel generator and ensure it is above the minimum level required for operation. Check the oil level: Check the oil level using the dipstick and ensure it is within the safe range. Check the coolant level: Check the coolant level in the radiator or expansion tank and ensure it is within the safe range. Inspect the air filter: Check the air filter for any signs of damage or blockages. Replace or clean the filter as necessary. Check the battery: Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary. Check the battery voltage using a voltmeter and ensure it is within the acceptable range. Inspect the belts: Check the condition and tension of the belts. Replace or adjust them...

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Earth Pit Resistance Measurement Fig - Earth Resistance Tester Wiring Objective To measure the earth pit resistance accurately using an Earth Resistance Tester. Equipment Required Earth Resistance Tester (with four terminals: P1, P2, C1, and C2) Two terminal rods (for current and potential measurement) Measuring tape Hammer (for driving rods into the ground) Procedure Step 1: Preparation Clean the Earth Pit Properly – Remove any debris or obstruction around the earth pit to ensure proper connection. Check the Earth Resistance Tester – Ensure the tester is in good working condition. The tester should have four terminals: P1, P2, C1, and C2 . Check if the pointer reads zero when the equipment is not in use. If required, adjust the zero adjustment screw to set the pointer at zero. Step 2: Connection Setup Short terminals P1 and C1 and connect them to the earth pit electrode whose resistance needs to be measured. Position the terminal r...
