The definitions below describe the controls and functions of
the | (Figure 7). |
1.Frequency Meter – Indicates the output frequency in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz.
2.AC Ammeter – Indicates the amount of current the load is drawing from the generator per leg selected by the ammeter
3.Ammeter
4.Voltage Regulator Control – Allows ±15% manual adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.
5.ACVoltmeter – Indicates the output voltage present at
the | . |
6.Voltmeter
7.Main Circuit Breaker – This
from overload.
Located behind the generator control panel is the
. This box contains some of the necessary electronic components required to make the generator function.
The Control Box is equipped with the following major components:
■
■Voltage Rectifer (AVR)
■Starter Relay
■Current Transformer
■Voltage Selector Switch
■Three Phase Circuit Breaker
Remember the
NOTEmonitors the current flowing from the
to the
load.
In the event of a short circuit or over current condition, it will automatically trip the 500 amp main breaker.
To restore power to the | , press the |
button on the overcurrent relay and place the | |
circuit breaker in the | position (ON). |
