A new diesel generator usually requires a break-in time according to the advice of a generator mechanical engineer. Break-in time is the process by which friction between machine components is gradually reduced during use to achieve optimum performance and efficiency. So how long does a new diesel generator take to break in?

Generally speaking, break-in time depends on the manufacturer and model of the generator. For most diesel generators, the break-in time is usually between 50 and 100 hours. This means that a new diesel generator will require between 50 and 100 hours of break-in operation before it can be used to achieve optimum performance and efficiency.

During the break-in period, special attention needs to be paid to the following points:

Avoiding rapid acceleration and hard braking to reduce friction between machine components;

Avoiding long periods of high speed operation to reduce wear and tear on machine components;

Changing the oil and filter regularly to ensure cleanliness and lubrication of the machine's interior;

Avoid overloading to avoid premature damage to the machine.

In short, newly purchased diesel generators need to undergo a certain break-in period to achieve optimum performance and efficiency. During the break-in period, special attention needs to be paid to the use and maintenance of the machine in order to prolong its service life.
