There are three ways to stop the generator of diesel generator set:

Failure mode

The failure modes are divided into: self starting fault and non self starting fault. The stopping mode is the normal braking program, that is, the blade is clockwise, and when the generator speed is reduced to the set point, the mechanical brake is started.

Manual shutdown mode

In this way, the brake is a normal brake, that is, the blade follows the oar and starts the mechanical brake when the generator speed drops to the set value. This mode of stop can not start automatically and needs manual startup.

Emergency shutdown mode

The emergency shutdown mode is suitable for the safety protection system, and the safety protection system includes: power grid power loss, generator overspeed, rotor over speed, engine room vibration, emergency button action, etc..

In this condition, the blade of the power unit, the paddle and the mechanical brake act simultaneously, and the condition needs to be resumed manually.
